Hi friends,

Welcome to God’s Sabbath. This week we are scheduled for weekly Sabbath services in Buford and Atlanta. Prior to our Atlanta Sabbath service, we will have a memorial service remembering Hynethia Jones at Unity Atlanta. Details of tomorrow’s Sabbath services and the memorial service are below.

• Buford. Tomorrow, the Buford congregation will meet at the Holiday Inn Express, Bethlehem (Georgia) at 10:30 AM for services.
• Atlanta. There will be a memorial service for Hynethia Jones at 1 PM tomorrow at Unity Atlanta. The service will last for 1 hour. The service will be preceded by a slide show (photo) tribute at 12:50. The service will be broadcast on our Atlanta webcast page beginning at 1 PM. 

Your presence is encouraged to honor Hynethia Jones and support Rita and Carlyn following Granny's death. A number of members from Jones’ family will attend the memorial service. Thank you for being gracious hosts. Know they may stay for our Sabbath Service.

• Following the memorial service, a light lunch will be served in the Fellowship Hall of Unity Atlanta. The lunch will last 1 hour, so plan to head over to the hall straight away after the memorial service.
• Atlanta’s weekly Sabbath Service will then begin tomorrow at 3 PM in the Sanctuary.

Thank you for keeping these times and locations in mind. Here are the rest of our announcements this week.

4. Service locations in Buford and Atlanta from July through mid-August. We will have Sabbath Services in both Buford and Atlanta on the following dates this summer: 7/12, 7/19, 7/26, 8/2, and 8/9. Our next combined service takes place on 8/16.
5. 2025 Camp Woodland. Camp Woodland, the final teen United Camp of the summer, takes place on July 18-25, 2025 (Friday to Friday). Camp Woodland is located in nearby Temple, Georgia. Details regarding Camp Woodland are available at uyc.ucg.org.
6. Ambassador Bible College: Apply Now. Ambassador Bible College is currently accepting applications for the next school year, which begins in late August. There is still space in next year’s class, and we would be glad to hear from young adults (and/or older adults) who are interested in a fun, engaging and thorough study of God’s Word in one school year.

Enrollment is open to those who have at least a high school diploma or equivalent. We like to have applications by July 15, but will consider them as long as there is still space. Applying earlier makes it easier to arrange housing, but there is currently ample lodging available with Cincinnati church members. Please visit www.abc.ucg.org to learn about the program. If you have specific questions, email us at www.abc_admissions@ucg.org. We look forward to hearing from you.

With that, have a great start to your Sabbath. See you tomorrow in Buford and Atlanta. Drive safely.

Warmly,

Philip Aust

Deuteronomy 28:1-2 Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. ² And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: (Blessing and Cursing chapter; also Leviticus 26)
