Many Choices, Many Blessings


My thanks to the Bennie Shook family for sharing their shape note singing with us on Sunday. A popular group in demand throughout the southeast, we were blessed to have them with us. It was a unique opportunity for hear this kind of music that has been so important in the musical heritage of this region and in many lives. It was awonderful moment for me and I hope for you as well. We have a change of pace this next Sunday with the popular Song of Atlanta. I know that you will not want to miss this group that has sung here for many years. You will face some hard choices as Carolyn Hancock, who play violin with the ASO, will bring us our special music at the 8:45 service. One choice is to come to 8:45 and 11 AM to hear both styles of music and two different preachers on different scriptures and topics!
Please consider signing up now for the Disciple courses that begin in early September. There are still openings in Disciple I (Sunday 4:30-7:00); Disciple II (Sunday 4:30-7:00 and Wednesday 9:30 a.m.-noon); Jesus in the Gospels (Tuesday evening and Sunday 4:30-7:00); and Christian Believer (Wednesday evening). Please let us hear from you this week concerning your interest, your questions. The Invitation to the Psalms is also a Disciple course, but shorter in length (10 weeks). It is unlimited in the number of people who can participate, but you will need to sign up and must have the materials prior to our first meeting on September 8 as we will not have an orientation session.
See you in worship this Sunday.
In His Love,

JOHN
