Atlanta has already had a lot of snow for, well, Atlanta.
It's warm here at Haygood, though, and warm in our hearts.
We hope that you are enjoying the cool air and the occasional sled ride down a nearby hill!

Important Upcoming Events!
1/28-
Youth Worship!--our Sunday morning youth programming happens Sunday mornings, during the Sunday school hour (10am). This year we will be going through Daniel Erlander's Manna and Mercy using SEEDS (Strategic Encounters to Engage and Disciple Students)! Youth Worship will be the Informative half to SEEDS, while Sunday Night Youth will be the Transformative half. Youth Worship will be an engaging time where middle and high school students will get to interact with Erlander's 100-page paraphrase of the Bible by using Lectio Divina, an ancient Christian practice that helps us approach scripture as living word and not simply a text to be studied. We'll learn new things by looking at the Bible in a new way, think about how what we've learned makes us feel, respond by sharing, and then come up with a step-one, so we can put what we've learned together into action. Meet in Taylor's office!
1/28-
Sunday Night Youth!--Sunday Night Youth happens Sunday Nights from 6-8pm. This is the Tansformative half of SEEDS mentioned above, where we will build our faith community together, sharing good food, worship, games, and small group time!
1/24-
Wednesday Night Youth!--Wednesdays from 6:15-7:15 we play games and have a mid-week check-in and time for prayer. This is an opportunity for our youth to center themselves in the middle of the week! Come, take a deep breath, talk about the what's been the best and worst parts of their week so far, and pray.
As always, if you have any questions or you're interested in serving as a Youth Volunteer (our favorite people), reply to this email or ask Taylor!

ICM Food Pantry
When the weather outside is frightful . . . we tend to stay home and cook. It's easy to forget those in our community who go hungry. Every Saturday the Intown Food Pantry opens its doors to those for whom the next meal is far from certain. Please place nonperishable food items in the two bins by the Gym Lobby elevator, and they will be delivered to the Food Pantry. Jesus said, "I was hungry and you gave me food." (Matthew 25:35)
