We have been dreaming about new ways to reach our community and surrounding areas. After much discussion and prayer, we have decided to move forward in creating HOLY GROUNDS.  What is HOLY GROUNDS you ask? It is a place to meet and gather, to build and strengthen relationships. It is a place to hold discussions about sermons, faith, and life. And it is a place to enjoy good coffee! HOLY GROUNDS is our coffee shop. As we are in the beginning phase of this vision, we do not have all of the answers right now.

In August, as we debut our coffee shop vision, we will be hosting various coffee “carts” in the lobby on   Sunday mornings. The main objective of these carts are to get your feedback as we sample various types of coffee that may possibly be in HOLY GROUNDS. 

Sip on a cup of coffee, smell the aroma, and join us in prayer as we start our journey to HOLY GROUNDS

The Youth finishes beds that will be donated

Saturday, August 7 our youth group returned to The Carpenter’s Workshop at St. Paul UMC to finish putting together the beds they started two weeks ago. These beds are going to be donated to families whose children do not have a bed to sleep in. It is estimated over 7,000 children in our county alone do not have a bed to sleep on. Our youth took such pride in their work. They learned how to use many tools and had a great time in the process. During the morning they sanded, hammered, used wood glue, used the nail gun, painted scripture on the bed slats and put together the finished product. This is a project they all agreed that they want to come back to.

We are challenging everyone out there who knows how to knit or crochet...help us make a beanie hat for every Operation  Christmas Child shoebox that we put together for our special    shoebox packing party in the late fall.  That is about 1,500 beanie hats!! We don’t care if they are girl or boy or what pattern you use, we will even provide the yarn for you. The beanies need to fit 2-15 year old children. 

Think of all the boys and girls that you will make happy and what a wonderful way to show your love for one another.

If you have any questions, please contact Cheryl Campbell at 770-605-6226.

Oh, that means we are still accepting yarn donations too.  Thank you in advance.
