Thank you from the Thaxton family
 
We want to thank you all so much for a wonderfully welcoming first Sunday for our family. Between the handshakes, hugs, fried chicken, and all the banana pudding we can handle, this has been hospitality at its best. Thank you for showing us the love of Christ. Your generosity and graciousness made our family feel so welcomed into the Cokes Chapel Family. We hope to see you again on Sunday as we join together in worship.
 
In faith, hope, and love,
Rev. Carson Thaxton, Kathryn, Kara, Charlotte, and Caden

Cokes Chapel was blessed by another eagle project this weekend by Scout Dylan Thomas. This project basically removed the barrier of debris between the traditional cemetery and the unmarked cemetery, provided space for a cross shaped post for a historical marker type sign, and cleared a pathway down the center.  Scouts and volunteers also removed all of the large branches and debris in the unmarked cemetery area.  There are 2 more scouts that have planned projects at Cokes Chapel in the future. One to repair and clean the gazebo, the other to add 23 more crosses to mark the other graves.

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.

 “Ketchup or Catsup?”

“Ketchup or Catsup?” It turns out that either spelling is correct.  Both spellings refer to the condiment we all recognize.  Evidently the beginnings of Catsup started with a base of fish sauce from the Far East.  Who knew?  Somewhere along the line, tomato base was added, and over time the fish was dropped and the sugar and vinegar were added. The spelling of ketchup is used much more frequently than is catsup.

For our purposes, we have been using Catsup – since it is a short step to use Catch-up to remind us of the need for Cokes to be in good financial standing. Catch up or giving also mean the same thing. 

Giving is part of our spiritual response to the gift of love and salvation that God sent us in Jesus Christ.  Giving is never a demand, but a joyful response to what God has already done for us.  Giving of our resources is both a spiritual and tactical action that speaks of our relationship to God, in trust, confidence and in full recognition that we can not out give God.  Won’t you reflect on your giving?  Will you support your incoming Pastor and Cokes with the gift of freedom from financial strains?  Plan to come this week, and when invited, bring your special offering to the altar and pray for Pastor Carson and his family.

 

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

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,

 “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.

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.

 “Things You Can Do With Catsup” 
 

We think it’s for embellishing eating… but wait! There is more!  Look at what can be done with catsup according to Taste of Home: “So it’s no surprise that ketchup—packed with citric acid and vinegar—can help you clean, too. Find out how this condiment can do your home wonders.

Clean copper, brass, silver, stainless steel… leave overnight on stuck on foods, rusty garden tools and rusty cast iron. Finally – after washing your car, it is suggested that you use catsup on a soft cloth to bring shine to the finish.”  note: None of these have been tested in my home! 

The Catch Up we are speaking of can do amazing things too! Bringing your catch up offering on July 11 will provide stability to the ministry of Cokes, speak volumes to your new pastor that you want to join in ministry with the focus on God, not on significant financial issues.  In other words, everyone together can provide a great beginning to the next chapter of Cokes Chapel. 

Won’t you pray, plan and be there on July 11 to welcome Pastor Carson and family with heart, hand, catch up giving and faith in what God is doing in and through the Cokes community?
