Naomi Girls
Some of our artists will be teaching us how to paint an abstract painting on canvas of our church. If you want to participate in the painting class cost will be $5. Let’s try something new! If you prefer to come for lunch at 11:30, please bring whatever you want for lunch and your drink. We will enjoy good fellowship and lots of laughs. If you are a widow and haven’t joined the Naomi Girls, please let Linda Shaddix know if you would like to attend.
Worship Tech Opportunities
The Worship Tech Team is currently looking for volunteers to assist in running the computer for the screens, the Sling for livestreaming and the soundboard. You will be taught everything you need to know and it is a great way to help in the production of our weekly services. If you're interested in joining our team, please contact Dan Shirah or the church office at 205-655-3259.
Community Food Bank
The Mission Team volunteers this month at the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama from 9:00 to 11:30 am on Thursday, February 17th. We are always accepting new volunteers! If you would like to join the team, please call Charlene Sharp at 205-835-2691 or email at csharp@bellsouth.net to register.
Pastor Steve’s New Devotional
“See You At The Plate” The new 365 day devotional by Dr. Steve Strange is now available. You can purchase a copy through Pastor Steve (he accepts Venmo) or through the church office. The cost is $21.99 each and if you are writing a check, please make it payable to Steve Strange. While this price seems low for a book this size, it will still enable Pastor Steve to gift some of the books where they are most needed. Be sure to purchase one soon!
Stephen Minister Training
UPDATE: The next training sessions will now begin in early spring to increase the likelihood of safely having in-person classes. If God is pushing you to engage in learning how to be a Christian caregiver, please touch base with one of the Stephen ministers and complete the short application (available in the church office in the Stephen Ministry box (or from a Stephen Minister). If you have questions about the program, ask any Stephen Minister or contact Stuart Garner (cell 770-354-3372).
