COKES CHAPEL UMC FINANCIAL CORNER
A big thank you to all our members and guests for your incredibly generous tithes and offerings for January and February. Our church can function because of everyone’s contributions. Our special offerings allow us to continue our Outreach Ministries Programs. Remember we are doing God’s work through these programs. Isn’t it a great feeling to know we are helping our community by helping those in need?
Vacation time of year is quickly approaching. Now is the time for us to start planning how we can continue our tithes and special offerings while we are away on vacation. Cokes Chapel has several ways to accomplish this. You can give online through our website, www.cokeschapel.org which links you to Pay Pal, by downloading our Church App on your smartphone or tablet or by simply mailing your check to the church office. Remember, our church depends on all of us to continue normal operations, grow our church and to support all our important Outreach Ministries.
 
Keep looking for regular updates from YOUR Financial Committee. We want each one of our members to know where your donations go and how the money is being used for God’s work. Let’s continue to help others and make Disciples for Christ.

Again, thank you to each one of you for helping OUR church continue to do God’s work.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW SECRETARY – GAIL STONE
I was born and raised in Wyoming and moved to Georgia about 40 years ago. My husband’s name is Stephen and is a
native of Coweta County. I have three adult children (two girls and one boy) Regina, Adam, and Jessi who all live within 30-45 minutes from us. We are the proud grandparents of six grandchildren ranging in age from 4 years old to 25 years old (four girls and two boys). Our grandchildren are welcome anytime, but the adult children only by appointment 🙂 I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, crochet, tatting, sewing, reading, camping, vegetable gardening, and traveling – anywhere, anytime.
