Covenant Partnership Class is this Sunday!

Celebration Sunday marks an important milestone in our guests' journey as we warmly welcome the new partners who have chosen to join our community after participating in the covenant partnership class.

More than Sunday School

One of the standout features of Saxe Gotha Presbyterian Church is its vibrant Sunday school program. Having served as a pastor on the East Coast, West Coast, and Gulf Coast, I can confidently say that the Sunday school experience at SGPC is unlike anything I’ve encountered elsewhere! Recently, Kristin and I had the pleasure of attending a Fish Fry and Fellowship event, and we were truly touched by the warmth and community we experienced.

While I cherish the love and care we share within our church, I often wonder: Do our neighbors see the love that binds us together? This Sunday, we’ll conclude our sermon series on Covenants, culminating in a powerful revelation of the New Covenant through Jesus Christ. In John 13:34-35, Jesus emphasizes the importance of our love for one another:

34 A new commandment I give to you: love one another; just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

Notice Jesus’ words: “All people” will recognize us as His disciples through our love for each other. So, I ask you: How many individuals outside of Saxe Gotha witness the way we care for, spend time with, and encourage one another? The love displayed on the cross continues to shine through our interactions. I believe that if we could connect those outside the church with the incredible people within Saxe Gotha, the love of Jesus would be unmistakably evident.

I have an idea to put this to the test. Would you join me in the Fellowship Hall during Sunday school on November 3rd? Go!MallardLakes is an initiative that allows our Sunday schools to extend Christ’s love to our neighbors, just as Kristin and I felt it at the recent event. I invite you to set aside your regular Sunday school plans and join me in the Fellowship Hall that day. I’m excited to share what Go!MallardLakes is all about, and I hope to see you there!

New! HeBrews Coffee in Fellowship Hall

Do you attend a traditional service and wish you could enjoy some coffee? Good news! Coffee is now available in Fellowship Hall 30 minutes before both the 8:30 and 11am services. Come join us for coffee and community!

Drive Thru Prayer

The Tuesday morning and Thursday evening Drive Thru Prayer teams are making a profound impact in our community! They’re continually creating new opportunities to pray together, with the next event scheduled for the day before election day. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to serve, consider joining this dynamic team. Also, don’t forget to send people to the blue Drive-Thru Prayer tent, where our team is eager to connect and support them. Together, we can touch even more lives!
