Friday Fives

1. Preaching Series - This week we are beginning a new preaching series entitled, Characters of the Old Testament. This first part of the Bible, is filled with a whole host of people, some of which are very well known, such as Abraham, Moses, Job, and King David to name a few. Others are not too well known, like Balaam, Jochebed, Boaz, and Mephibosheth. Each week, for the next four weeks, we will look to these four lesser known characters as we try to unpack what part of God may be revealed in the life of these people. This week we will begin with Balaam, as we use his life to understand the importance and necessity of living in connection with one another. I invite you to come, and bring a friend, as we all hear the Word of God proclaimed together!



2. Summer Music - With the summer months approaching we have an opportunity to offer all of you. If you are interested in providing special music for worship during these summer months or know someone who might be interested, please let Watson know. His contact information can be found in the Sunday bulletin.



3. New Email Address - Due to issues with AOL, we have created a new church email address, druidhillsocala@gmail.com. Please use this email address for all messages for the church office and for Druid Hills in general. My email address will remain the same. Please make that change now, because in approximately a month, the AOL account will no longer be active.



4. New Addition to the Blog - I am always looking for ways to increase the avenues of communication for our church family. That is one of the main purposes of this blog.

Therefore, I want to introduce you all to the Druid Hills UMC YouTube Channel. I have figured out how to take the audio of my sermons and upload them to YouTube. So anyone with an Internet connection can now log on at anytime and listen to the messages.

I will also post them right here to the blog so you can listen to them and they should be up by Wednesday each week. I hope you enjoy and benefit from this new addition.



5. Historian Needed - If you are interested and passionate about recording the important events in the life our church, we have an opportunity for you! We are in need of a church historian to help chronicle the important events in our history. It does not require significant time, just a passion for the mission. If you are interested please see me and we will talk.



Have a great weekend and see you Sunday!
