Nailbenders
What an incredible day of service! We had an amazing group of volunteers come together, and it’s truly inspiring to see what can be accomplished when we all pitch in.
In the community, we started by clearing debris from a roof, then safely took down some old fence posts. At the church, we tackled a variety of repairs, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Flickering lights in the restroom were replaced, and a broken fixture cover was fixed. We also installed several door stops and repaired damaged walls in both the Sanctuary and the Fellowship Hall. Additionally, we made ceiling drywall repairs in both the Sanctuary and the Lighthouse, ensuring everything looked pristine. To top it all off, we replaced a water heater in the CDC restroom, improving the space for everyone who uses it.
It was a fulfilling day, and every bit of effort made a lasting difference. Thank you to everyone who volunteered – together, we’re making our community and church stronger!

SuperStart! Recap
On February 7th and 8th, ten 4th, 5th, and 6th graders attended SuperStart! in Athens, GA. The theme for this year was "Shaped," where we discovered that we are created by God to be shaped for His Kingdom work. We explored how sometimes we let the world around us influence the way we're shaped, but ultimately, we need to allow ourselves to be shaped by our Creator for the purpose He has planned for us. We learned that no matter who we are, where we are, or how old we are, we were all made for Kingdom work.
