Good News Friends and Family,
The first day of spring isn't until March 20, but it's March and we've had some gorgeous days, so let's pretend like spring is here! :) Which reminds me... be sure to "Spring Forward" and set your clocks ahead one hour this upcoming Sunday, March 8th.
We're working on plans for Easter, so be sure to check out the details below under EASTER announcements.
This past Sunday, March 1st, we started into Philippians 3:1-11, This upcoming Sunday, March 8th, we'll be going through Part 2 of this great scripture text. To access the "Fellowship of Joy - Knowing Christ" (Part 1) on Philippians 3:1-11 message audio, notes, and slides from this past Sunday (and all previous weeks), click here.

INSPIRATION
Verse of the Week
“When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.” – Colossians 2:13-14
Quote of the Week
“Like most religious people today, Paul had enough morality to keep him out of trouble, but not enough righteousness to get him into heaven. It was not bad things that kept Paul away from Jesus—it was good things. He had to lose his religion to find salvation.” - Warren Wiersbe (“Be Joyful,” Ch. 8)
-----------------------------------
VISION & VALUES
The vision of Good News Church GA is "to experience and express LOVE from God to others." The verse that undergirds our vision is Galatians 5:6b, “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” We value people, community, relationships, prayer, and Bible reading. We also value being able to be yourself. We’re all struggling with something, so there’s no need to pretend that we have it all together.
-----------------------------------
MISSION
The mission of Good News Church GA is "to connect with people and build relationships through community workshops, neighborhood-focused ministry, serving local needs, mentoring, and worship."
