Missions/Interfaith Hospitality Network of Athens
Through an exclusive partnership between Family Promise and The Company Store, a leading online retailer of bedding and home accessories, IHNA friends and supporters have an opportunity to “pay it forward” by participating in the Buy One, Give One campaign.
Between now and March 31st, The Company Store will match every purchase of a comforter with a donation of a comforter to a child served by Family Promise Affiliates nationwide. They have committed to donating between 10,000 and 20,000 to Affiliates throughout the campaign. Friends and supporters can purchase comforters at a 20% discount by entering the promo code BOGO20 on The Company Store website. This is the perfect opportunity for supporters to donate a truly meaningful gift to families in need while purchasing high quality comforters at a substantial savings.
At the heart of the Christian Life, is the joy of spreading the love of God with the world. From the beginning, Jesus' disciples lived out this call by starting new churches. You are invited to a celebration of New Church Development on March 3rd. Below are the details:
· Dinner starts at 5:30 at Trinity Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, featuring special dishes from different churches.
· Inspiring, multicultural worship follows with Rev. Dr. Joanna M. Adams preaching.
· An offering will be taken during worship to support and start new churches right here in North Georgia!
· You are invited to bring a special dish to share, and are also encouraged to wear traditional ethnic celebration clothing if you are able. Children are welcome.
· Space is limited! --- reserve your spot(s) by February 20th by emailing Sara Hayden at sara.hayden@tpncdc.org.
STEWARDSHIP:
Why do you participate in the OPC Women’s Retreat?
Sandy Denney: “I participate in the Women’s Retreat Ministry to grow my relationship with God through positive relationships with other OPC women. Through the “retreat” I have made new friends and God is showing me how I can use my “gifts” to contribute to the “building up” of my OPC sisters. I hope more women of OPC will plan to attend next January!”
