Friday Fives

1. Preaching Series - This Sunday we will conclude our sermon series focusing on answering those difficult questions concerning God's role in the evil and suffering of this world, why some of our prayers go unanswered, and how we can best make sense of God's will for our life. This week we will look at discerning God's Will for our lives; specifically, how to know the will of God, how specific is the will of God, and what does it mean to act upon the will of God. Invite a friend and I hope to see all of you there!

2. Pulpit Swap - Next week, January 30th, Pastor Debbie and I will be swapping pulpits as part of our efforts to to engage with each others church. That means Pastor Debbie will here to lead worship. I encourage you to bring a friend and come and hear Pastor Debbie as she brings you her warmth and passion for God's Word that I know will bless you.

3. Bible Study – Next week we will continue our Bible Study called, When Christians Get It Wrong, by Adam Hamilton.

Have you ever wondered why people do not go or have stopped going to church? Have you ever considered that it may be because of the people inside? Please join me in this study as we examine those attitudes and beliefs that drive people away.

As followers of Christ our impact can be so much stronger when we get it right. To this point we have looked at when Christians get it wrong and how to speak about science and politics. Next week we will look at ways to talk about other religions. Please join me in learning how we can be advocates and rather than stumbling blocks in bring people to Christ.

This study meets every Thursday through February 17th. We will meet in the Fellowship Hall at 11AM and if that does not fit your schedule I will offer it again at 7PM as well. I hope you will come and join us in what is always a great time of learning and fun!

4. Salty Service - A few months back I asked everyone to consider joining up together in groups to venture out and visit some of the residents in the many assisted living and rehab facilities around our church. There are many people there that get no visitors, and we are so good with fellowship, I see a need and a spiritual gift that can easily be paired up. I wanted to give everyone an update on how this budding ministry is progressing. We have three members that have reached out and began weekly visits to three different facilities. We also have a group of people that have formed to begin visits with a fifth facility. We have several contacts at area facilities, all we need is volunteers. Many people make light work. If you are willing to spend just a few hours a month visiting with people and sharing the love of Christ please contact the office and we can help you get connected. Please consider reaching out to the people in our area and let them know we care and in the name of Jesus Christ that they are loved.


5. Wanna Help? – Have you been looking for a way to volunteer here at Druid Hills? Are you just not sure where to start or who to ask? This February we will host a Ministry Fair here at the church. We will open up all the volunteer ministries of the church and give all of you a chance to sign up and get connected. Watch this space for more information and details!

Have an incredible weekend and see you Sunday!
