Hi everyone,

Welcome to God’s Sabbath! I’m so glad we can keep it this week. After last week’s combined Atlanta and Buford Sabbath Service, special guest speaker Mr. Tim Peworth, and exceptional Thanksgiving meal, we are set for a relatively quiet Sabbath this week with services tomorrow in Buford (Bethlehem) and Atlanta at the regular times. In anticipation of those services, please see this week’s announcements.

1. Sabbath Services in Buford and Atlanta. Tomorrow morning, the Buford congregation will meet at the Holiday Inn Express, Bethlehem (Georgia) at 10:30 AM for services. In the afternoon, the Atlanta congregation will meet at Unity Atlanta at 2:30 PM.

Note: Due to the Thanksgiving Weekend, we will combine for services on 11/29 in Atlanta. We will resume our Buford and Atlanta service schedule on 12/6.

2. Under the weather this Sabbath? Tune into our UCG Atlanta Webcast. If you are sick this week, plan to watch the Atlanta webcast online.

4. Atlanta and Buford Service Survey. After doing some work behind the scenes on how to enhance our congregations, we are handing out and collecting a survey that has you indicate your choice of local service. The survey requests that you provide your contact information. It offers a series of areas in which to serve. Please fill out the survey and return it to Mr. Bob McCurdy. The information will be used to develop an organizational chart for our area. Thank you, in advance, for your involvement in our local congregations.
