Cokes Chapel Family,
 
I want to express to you my deepest gratitude for the beautiful luncheon last Sunday, and your generous gift!  Your generosity and love never cease to amaze me!
 
As I step away into God’s new calling on work in ministry, I will forever be grateful for all of the love and support you have offered me over these past seven years.  Your friendship, trust, and companionship has been a priceless gift to me.  God has grown and loved me through you! 
 
Thank you, my friends!  I will miss you, but I trust that our paths will cross again.  You are part of me, and for that I am eternally grateful!
 
With Love and Gratitude, Your Companion in Christ,
 
Kim

 “Real Tomato Catsup?”

 

You can tell the difference if its real or not. Runny discolored “catsup” served with lunch probably won’t be up to your standards. Currently, the expenses and income have not been up to the standards that our budget proposed for 2021.  Complications of Pandemic, shortfalls and personal circumstances all have played a part.  However, now is an important time for everyone to take part.  Typically summer will show a drop in giving – won’t you help by

1) giving above your regular tithe, or catch-up your giving that perhaps lagged behind due to not attending worship? 

2) even when you are not here, make arrangements to give regularly.  See our online giving for more information.

Your Catch – UP Will make a difference!  Help Pastor Carson arrive at Cokes and be freed from the stress and complications of shortfalls in giving.  Give because you can, because you can’t out give God.  God is at work in you through Cokes Chapel! Thank you!

Visit our website: cokeschapel.org to give regularly or make a one time gift.

                        


 

The Prayer Team has returned to in-person gatherings.  We meet at 5:00 pm on Wednesday nights in the Fellowship Hall.  If the Fellowship Hall is in use we will meet in the Eubanks Classroom.  Please join us!

MINISTRY MESSAGE:  INTER-GENERATIONAL & YOUTH MINISTRY, June 30, 2021:  
 
In Inter-generational Ministry, everyone is welcome as the Inter-generational Sunday School Class gathers in-person before worship each week in the Worship Center from 8:40-9:40 AM.  In this month’s unit we are exploring the ways that God revealed God’s self as evidenced in the Bible:  through self-declaration, quietness, visions, love, and most importantly, Jesus.  This coming Sunday, July 4th, the class will study Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14 and discuss how God’s revelation is not bound by our narrow expectations.
 
A Youth Group Pool Party is planned for Sunday, July 11th at the home of Arianna and Brian Smith from 4:00-7:00 pm.  The youth and their families are invited to attend this party as a farewell to Kim Reindl.  Please RSVP by July 7th to Arianna Smith at 770-715-3230 or amsmith90@yahoo.com.  The party is being hosted by the Smiths, Simpsons, and McCallies.

Let us join in prayer together:  
God we come to give you our thanks and praise.  At the beginning of each day may we turn to You for wisdom, strength and hope.  As we go about our day we pray for Your guidance in our decisions, help us to see with Your compassion and wisdom.  In each action, may we grow in service, giving with faith in God’s power to complete all things for God’s glory. 
Lord we pray for ourselves, for our church, community and world.  We face difficulties, whether in our personal life or in being aware of the sorrows and challenges of the world community.  You are our only hope, our stay in times of trouble, the light that surrounds us with love that changes all circumstances.
Form us with your love, teach us to mindfully embrace opportunities to bring light and Your message of hope.  We love you Lord! Amen.

Consider sending one card each week to rotate through the list, and let the Cokes Chapel love shine out!
