Monthly Mercy Ministry Offering This Sunday
Grace was never meant to stop with us; it’s meant to flow through us. This Communion Sunday, we invite you to participate in a special tradition of the early church by bringing an offering of mercy. These gifts allow our Mercy Ministry to care for the vulnerable in our midst in real, immediate ways. It’s not intended to take the place of our regular giving to the church (tithes) but rather to be an extra or special gift as you are able. For online gifts, choose the “Mercy Ministry” fund. For checks, put “mercy ministry” or “deacons” on the memo line.

All answers are confidential and will be used to help inform the Marriage Discipleship ministry team. For more info, contact Derona King or text her at (404) 683-3140.
Gospel Fest Celebration Feb. 22
