We're planning another Family Fun Hike at Selma Erwin Trails. This hike is being sponsored by Fringed Campion Chapter of the Georgia Native Plant Society and Georgia Native Plant Society. Walk with your native plant friends through the beautiful woods of this preserve to see the trout lilies blooming! Dress appropriately for the weather, wear hiking shoes, and bring your camera!
Blue Out 2024
February 18, 2024
Let's wear BLUE the first Sunday in Lent (February 18, 2024) as a visible reminder that One Great hour of Sharing makes a difference for disaster survivors around the world.
Out of chaos, Hope.
Midweek Prayer Services
Wednesdays, 12:15 PM Starting February 21, 2024
Make plans to join us on Wednesdays during Lent for a short prayer service led by Reverend Susan. It'll be a nice pause in the middle of the week during this reflective time.
Devotionals & Devotion Cards
A great way to expand your spiritual practice during this time is to use a devotional. Devotionals following the theme of Wandering Heart are available in the Narthex and on the bulletin board. Take as many as you need; we can always make more copies. If you would like to use a digital copy, please contact the office for the link.
Lent Madness
Another devotional and a fun way to learn about Saints both old and new is Lent Madness; a take on March Madness with 32 saints you vote on in single elimination rounds. Below is a link to the digital scorecard, including the bracket, that you can use to make your choices for the Golden Halo.
One Great Hour of Sharing
This Special Offering is collected from February 14-March 31, 2024. Join with Presbyterians worldwide in sharing God’s love with our neighbors-in-need around the world by providing relief from natural disasters, food for the hungry, and support for the poor and oppressed.
Sunday School
We will be using the Sanctified Art Wandering Heart curriculum for the Children's Sunday School class.
Palm Sunday Service
Our Palm Sunday Service will be a join worship service with The Bridge United Methodist Church beginning at our usual worship time of 11:00 AM.
Bulletin
Congregational Lunch
Directly after the Palm Sunday worship service, we will have a combined congregational luncheon.
Bunny Bash/Easter Egg Hunt
After fellowship and lunch on Palm Sunday, it's time for the kids to enjoy activities just for them celebrating the season. So stick around for the Bunny Bash and the Easter Egg Hunt!
Maundy Thursday
Maundy Thursday begins the Three Days (or Triduum), remembering the new commandment that Christ gave us in word and deed as he taught us how to love one another, washing our feet as a servant. We also celebrate the Lord’s Supper, remembering the meal Christ shared with his disciples before his death. Make plans to join us March 28, 2024 at 5:30 PM for this contemplative service.
Lounsbury Cross
Easter morning, we meet early, bringing flowers from home or the store, to decorate the cross outside the church. This beloved tradition continues each Easter Sunday, so make plans to join us starting at 9:00 AM on march 31, 2024.
