Do you hear the sounds of  Christmas bells yet?  Well, now that Thanksgiving Day is over, we rush into December with a whirlwind of activities church-wide and at home.  Let’s never get too busy that we don’t take the time to be amazed and wonder at the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  After all, He is the “reason for the Season”.

December 1, kicks off the start of our International Missionary special offering, better known as Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.  This year’s goal is $6000, and I hope and pray we make that goal.  Lottie’s Post Office is now open for you to place you Christmas cards to members in the church for them to PICK UP”!

Don’t forget to place your stamp money in the box provided; there will be envelops available to fill out so you can get credit on your church contributions.

WMU will again provide unwrapped toys to support Toys for Tots.  Members don’t forget to bring your unwrapped toy to the luncheon December 16^th.  If you have not let me know if you can come, please do so within the first week of December.  We also plan to provide gift cards to the children at Truett Home this year.

We have so much to look forward to this month: good food (church dinner), caroling, get-togethers with family and friends; cantata, children’s programs, etc.  The list goes on and on.  But with all that goes on this month and with all we do to get ready for that special day, nothing could be more special that reflecting each day on the event that changed the world forever and each one of us when we accepted the Gift-Jesus.

Merry Christmas to all,

Helen                    

Titus 2 Women’s Ministry

We are delighted to announce that the AFBC Titus 2 Women’s Ministry Team is hosting a women’s conference for our church and community on Friday, April 27^th and Saturday, April 28^th.  Sheila Womble, of Planting Seeds to Trees Ministries from Cairo, GA, will be sharing her personal testimony and speaking on the Overflow of God’s Love in our lives as women!  Her guest Malorie Whitley, will be leading worship for the event.

We are seeking volunteers and women from our church who may feel led to share their personal testimony during this event.  We are encouraging you (women and men) to begin praying for this event; that women will attend with open hearts and that God will use both Sheila and Malorie for His glory through the Overflow conference.

We will have a sign-up sheet posted for those who are interested and pre-registration packets in the lobby of our church.  There is also an online registration option found through Facebook.  Cost for attendance is $15 each or two attendees for $10 each as we would like to encourage each attendee to bring a guest!  Food and child care will be provided for women who attend.   Please contact any of the Titus 2 Women’s Ministry Team if you have any questions or would like to volunteer your time or your testimony!
