April is here and so is Easter.  As we revisit the scenes of the crucifixion and burial, we once again focus on the words of Matthew 28:6, Mark 16.6 and Luke 24:6- “He is not here; He is risen from the dead!”  We serve a living Savior, One who walks with His children everyday-leading, encouraging, sometimes discipling, but always loving and forgiving.  What a glorious thought that sustains us through this walk on earth.  We are merely traveling through, moving toward the glorious promise of life in God’s presence.,

And while we are on this journey, we are to do good and help others as much as we can.  This month we will be collecting food and paper goods for our Broyhill Children’s Home.  Last year the April collection was postponed due to COVID.  But this April, it’s back, and we need to be generous with our collection.  A container and list of needed items will be found outside the church sanctuary.

Also, on Sunday, April 18^th., we will take up a special offering for the Cherokee Food Bank.  This is another opportunity to reach out and help others, using the resources God has blessed us with.

Always remember the words of a special hymn we sing- “We serve a Living Savior; He’s in the world today.”  And as part of that, we serve alongside our Savior, following in His footsteps, and showing the world what a child of God looks like.  “And they’ll know we are Christians by our love…”.

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!
