Easter Choir

We would like to invite you to join our Easter Choir for a very special presentation on Easter morning. Choir practice is every Sunday afternoon at 4:30 p.m.

Teen Challenge

We were blessed to have the men's group from Alabama Teen Challenge join us in worship this past Sunday. The testimonies, dramas and fellowship was outstanding. These men really moved the congregation emotionally by sharing their heart and we pray that the Lord will continue to minister through them as they share the Gospel story.

Galatians 6:6 Conference

Pastors Pamela & Ron Martin were blessed to attend the Galatians 6:6 Conference at the Winshape Retreat on the campus of Berry College in Rome, GA. The conference was sponsored by Dr. David and Teresa Ferguson of Intimate Life Ministries. Conference facilitators were Drs. John and Su Vining and Dr. and Mrs. Ron Wolford.

It was an excellent conference, staged in a beautiful setting. Each session was filled with Biblical principles designed to strengthen our relationship. We were blessed to meet many ministry couples from various parts of the Southeastern United States. The atmosphere made us feel like we were somebody special.

We would to extend a special thanks to our sponsors, Don & Yvonne Brock. We deeply appreciate their love and friendship.

The Galatians 6:6 Conference was the Best Pastors/Companion Retreat we have ever attended! We would encourage every Pastoral Couple to partcipate in this event. You will be blessed abundantly.

Church Indebtedness

A few weeks ago the Lord prompted Pastor Ron to mention to the congregation their building indebtedness and ask them to pray that God would help us to pay down the amount by the end of 2010. The Lord responded by touching the hearts of others in the congregation. A special thanks goes to Dan & Shelia Cardin for their donation in memory of their daughter Amy and also to another contributor who wishes to remain anonymous. Through their efforts the remaining debt of $18,000 is now down to $7,000. The original amount of the building debt when Pastor Ron started the Journey from Jenean St. to University Blvd. Program was $103,000. We praise God for eveyone who has contributed to this program and reduced our indebtedness. We are looking forward to a Mortgage Burning Celebration in the near future!

In Memory of Amy


Offering Challenge!

The CCC responded to an offering challenge during the month of January. A private donor was willing to match funds for every dollar raised by the congregation for the Food Pantry. The offering for this venture was received last Sunday morning after a special presentation by our event coordinator, Linda Griffith. We thank God for a total offering of $2000. This amount will be matched by our generous donor. To God be the Glory!

Food Pantry News!

The Care Package Food Pantry served 108 families on February 6, 2010. There was tremendous turn-out of volunteers and the Lord blessed us to circulate the families through the line quickly in spite of frigid temperatures.
