We will have one worship service this Sunday, December 19, at 10:45 am. Our music ministry will be presenting their Christmas special with songs and scripture. We hope you come and tell others about it. Invite your family and friends to come worship with us as we usher in the Christmas season.

On Saturday, October 16, from 3pm–5pm, we invite you to participate in the 12th annual Gordon County Hunger Walk! We will be meeting at the black & gold park pavilion.
Each year the Gordon County Christian Ministerial Alliance sponsors the Hunger Walk to raise funding for four of the Gordon County food pantries. We ask that you walk or sponsor walkers to raise money for this worthy cause. Donations can be made to the GCCMA and note “Hunger Walk” on the memo line.

This upcoming Saturday, October 9th, we plan to assemble at 8 am at the VFW on 406 W Line St, Calhoun, for a time of fellowship, sharing, and cleanup of ballfields. Bring a shovel and work gloves. Breakfast will be provided.  We will be sponsoring a new tree sapling in honor of one of Georgia's fallen soldiers.  All men are invited to join us! Contact Chris Carson at cdcarson@gmail.com for more information.

VBS June 20-23, 6 pm - 8:30 pm

Students will begin their exploration from a whimsical lighthouse on an enchanted island, guided by a Lighthouse Keeper and Beacon the Puffin on an exciting quest.  Using the Bible, children will learn how God's light shines in the lives of familiar biblical characters in Old and New Testament stories.

Thanks to your generous giving this will be a FREE VBS for our community.  However, we still need your help in other areas.  First, tell everyone you know who has children about our VBS.  Reaching out to our community is vital!  Secondly, sign up to serve in any way possible.  We need leaders, people to make and serve snacks, and help with games and crafts.  Finally, we can all be in prayer for VBS, the kids, leaders, and servants.

VBS is a great local outreach opportunity each year as kids grow in their knowledge of Christ, experience Christ, and come to know Christ for themselves.  So please support our VBS in whatever ways you can.

  If you would like to serve at VBS please contact Shea Walraven at 678-986-0454 or email at children@calhounfirst.com.

We would like to thank everyone from our church and community for your response to the blood drive.  According to our Red Cross coordinator, all of our appointments for the upcoming blood drive have been filled.  Thank you so much for your generous hearts and life-saving donations.
