ANNOUNCEMENTS
NEW! CHILDREN'S VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - Sundays (once a month)
We're excited to have more and more children (elementary, toddlers, and babies) being added to our church family! As a result, we need more volunteers to help make the Sunday morning church experience a blessing for these children (and their parents). No need to wonder "if" God is calling you to help. You can assume that He is, and if He's not He'll make that clear. :) No worries though. The need is only for "once a month" volunteers. For more details, click here. For questions or to volunteer, email Laura or call / text at 770-364-4143.
NEW STUDY! MEN'S MINISTRY - Starts THIS Wednesday, March 26 (6:30pm)
In two weeks, we're kicking off a new video series, Practicing The Way by John Mark Comer. This series fits perfectly with our sermon series on growing in faith. Each week, we'll have dinner, we'll watch a 30 minute video and then Chad Garrett will facilitate discussion. If you haven't yet connected, this is a great time to come check it out. We're meeting at Chad's house (525 Clover Drive, Buford GA 30518). Chad lives in downtown Buford, less than a mile from Elixir Brew Co. For questions or to RSVP, email David Fearon.
GOOD NEWS AT NOON HOMELESS MINISTRY - Saturday, April 19 (11am)
Good News at Noon is a local homeless ministry in the Gainesville area where we serve monthly by helping to serve lunch on the 3rd Saturday each month. This is a fantastic family serving opportunity! For more information or to sign up, click here.
SPIRITUAL MENTORING
We want to help connect those who are younger in the faith with those who are more mature in the faith. We've had a few volunteers respond to say, "Hey, I'd love to connect with someone younger in the faith and just be a resource, a friend, and an encouragement in their faith journey, just like others have done for me." If you're someone who would be willing to make yourself available to help someone else along in their relationship with Christ, or if you'd like to have someone who could help you grow in your faith, click here to respond and let us know. You're not committing to anything. You're just expressing your interest. If you have questions, feel free to contact Drue at 404-906-9117.

INSPIRATION
Verse of the Week
“And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” - 1 John 5:11-12
Quotes of the Week
“This is the gospel: God has drawn near to us in Jesus—us, we who are sinful, broken, wounded, mortal, dying, and incapable of self-saving, with many of us completely uninterested in God or even enemies of God—to draw us into his inner life, to heal us by immersing us within the fold of his Trinitarian love, and then to send us out into the world as agents of his love.” - John Mark Comer
-----------------------------------
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."
