We will meet at Londonderry Elementary School at 6:00 AM for our Sunrise service. It is our hope to livestream the service. Join us for our first Easter Celebration. Bring a lawn chair and appropriate clothing as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.
Our second Easter Celebration will be our regular Sunday Morning Worship service. Join us at 10:15 AM as we continue to sing beloved Easter hymns and tell the good news of Jesus resurrection. We will livestream the service on the live section of our website. The service will also be broadcast on WMSS at 2 PM.
Continue the Easter celebration with “The Greatest Story Ever Retold, THE COTTON PATCH GOSPEL”. This award winning musical drama is a leg-slappin’, toe-tappin’, hand-clappin’ hoe-down of a story that retells the Gospels of Matthew and John – translated into present day Southern vernacular. It brings the faraway places of Nazareth, Jerusalem and Bethlehem closer to home – Atlanta and Valdosta, Georgia. From His birth in a Gainesville, Georgia trailer to His Good Friday lynching and Easter Sunday victory, the story of Mary Davidson’s son, Jesus, is presented musically with zest and uninhibited joy. The musical score is by the late Harry Chapin, composer of such well known hits as “Cats in the Cradle” and “Taxi”.On Saturday, April 30nd, the church is hosting a family pot-luck. We’ll gather at 5:00 p.m. in the church fellowship hall. After a Blessing, dinner will begin so that those gathered can enjoy the 1:51 minute presentation while they eat. See you at the show!
In April we are planning three fellowship events:
