SOUTH COBB NEWS

            Lexann Johnson needs volunteers to help with the nursery in 2010.  We will be going to a bi-weekly schedule instead of monthly and she needs all the volunteers she can get.

            The Ladies Bible class is collecting  donations for the Beijing, China Church of Christ until January 5. For more information see Marice Allen or Glenda Shipp.
            Because of the holidays, the next Tuesday morning Ladies Bible Class will be on January 5, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. and all ladies are invited to attend. We will host a guest speaker from the Peachtree City Church of Christ who will discuss the church in Beijing, China.  You may remember that Peachtree City helped establish a congregation in Beijing during the Olympics and it continues to exist and prosper.  We encourage every lady from South Cobb to come to encourage and learn about this work.  The nursery will be available and staffed.

 

JANUARY 14  SENIORS LUNCHEON AT THE BUILDING.  12:00 PM

JANUARY 31 -- TEACHERS APPRECIATION DINNER here at South Cobb.  We will honor our past and present teachers at this dinner after the morning service.  If you have taught in the past, or are teaching at present; please give a note to Jon Stroud telling him how long you taught and in what department.

THANK YOU TEACHERS!

 

MAY 28-29, 2009  MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT SEMINAR HERE AT THE SOUTH COBB CHURCH OF CHRIST!  Glenn and Cindy Colley will be conducting this seminar for families on this date, and we want to encourage everyone to be here for that!  This is for newly married as well as older couples, and also insights in child rearing and parenting will be included.   

 

 

A CHANGE IN OUR WORSHIP!

BEGINNING JANUARY 3, 2010 ANNOUNCEMENTS WILL BEGIN AT 10:55 AM AND WORSHIP WILL BEGIN PROMPTLY AT 11:00 AM. 

If you are serving in worship, please see Jeremy or Ronnie as soon as Bible class is over.  

Also we ask that everyone be in the auditorium seated as soon as possible.  We are worshipping our Lord together!!

                        Thank You, The elders!

 

It has come to our attention that many of our members are congregating in the foyer during worship and talking and generally "catching up" with one another during this time.  This is distracting to those who have to leave the auditorium during worship to take care of sickness, or of a rowdy child.  We ask that you not leave the auditorium during our worship time unless you absolutely need too. Please leave the pews in the foyer for those mothers who are trying to settle down a child, and respect their desire to worship God.  Remember GOD is in our midst; He watches all, and knows all!  Please don't hinder a brother or sister's worship  by our inattention. 

WORSHIP GOD!

 

Bible Treasure Hunt: Solve the clue to discover the treasure, a Bible person, place, or thing.

Among the seven men assigned
To hear the widows' voice
Was Nicolas who came from here.
He was a Jew by choice.

 

He traveled much with Paul, until
An argument arose.
So Paul took Silas, he took Mark;
That's how the story goes.
