ALL ARE INVITED – COVERED DISH ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 14TH

The church has planned a covered dish fellowship next Sunday, August 14th which will follow the 11:00 service in the Contemporary Worship Center. This time has been planned in order to give Pastor Lisa another opportunity to spend some time getting to know more of the congregation. So plan to bring along a favorite dish to share and have lunch with church friends!

THANK YOU FROM BRIGHTER DAY!

Through the generosity of Cokes Chapel members, about 80 underprivileged children were furnished with school supplies. What a wonderful outreach mission for our church. Thank you all!

LUNCH BUNCH, AUGUST 11TH AT TOMATO HOUSE

The Lunch Bunch Group will be meeting at The Tomato House, 42 Main Street, Senoia GA at 11:30 next Thursday, August 11th. Please sign up on Sunday if you would like to attend so that reservations can be made ahead of time. For more information or to RSVP, call Gail Brooke at 770-328-9986.

HOSPITALITY OPPORTUNITIES

During the month of July, we enjoyed special weekly church-wide gatherings! Continuing this opportunity of fellowship and refreshments, the Hospitality team will host a monthly gathering on the third Sunday of the month from 10:30-10:55 a.m. under the awning. We encourage you to come a bit early to church or at the end of your Sunday School time to enjoy fresh-baked cookies and beverages and visit with others in our Cokes Chapel family. If you have other ideas or would like to be part of the Hospitality Team, please let Pam, Caren or Jennifer know. We hope you will join us for these occasions.

YOUTH DIRECTOR SEARCH

Your staff Parish Relations Committee is actively seeking our next Youth Director. Advertisements have been placed in a number of areas that connect to people who are either in seminary, or are related through the North Georgia conference to youth and teaching ministries.

Our goal is to find just the right person to bring their gifts and graces to this opportunity to build a relationship and begin a new chapter in their faith journey.

If you have someone who may be interested, please ask them to contact us with a resume and recommendations at spryouth@cokeschapel.org.

“SERVING COMMUNION IN THE CHURCH” AUGUST 14TH

Do you wish to participate in serving communion for 9 or 11 o’clock worship? Pastor Lisa is asking all who want to take part in serving to attend this one day class at 10:10-10:45 in the Sanctuary. This will also be the format to train for communion setup/clean up if you wish to be a communion steward. Sign up for the class so that we have enough materials for each person by calling the church office or by emailing Barbara at office@cokeschapel.org.

UPCOMING SERMON SERIES

Do you want to transform the world? Let’s start with us! What the World Needs Now … Kindness & Love may oftentimes seem just too hard to reach for, but kindness often make for viral news – because so little can take on such gravity in our hearts. Kindness is the key to introducing the way of Christ. Love may seem to forward, to false, but living with kindness bridges the gap. Considerations on kindness: the source of it; the strength in it; the witness of it. Join us for three weeks of “Kindness – A Way Forward” beginning August 14th.

You may see some plywood…

and other signs of progress in the next weeks at the Chapel. The Trustees are beginning the first steps to replace the door in the middle right wall of the sanctuary as it is unusable and rotting. The Trustees are delighted to announce that we will be replacing the door with a custom stain glass window to complement the other windows. There will be some occasions you will find temporary openings sealed with plywood as they replace and repair the wall/door area.

We look forward to the Sunday that we dedicate our final stain glass piece, and ask you to be patient with our progress.

Next Sunday the Youth will be returning from the River of Life Mission Trip and will help in presenting both Worship Services. Please plan on being here and showing them the love and support that they have in our congregation!
