Mission Athens Block Party June 10

"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all for the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31

Please make plans to join us for our Mission Athens Block Party Sunday, June 10, 2012 at 5th Avenue Apartments in Athens, AL, from 4-6 pm.  We will have hamburgers and hot dogs, games, inflatables, and lots of fun planned for the residents and guests at this community event.

As you read in the last post, "Around the World, Across the Street," the Mission Athens team is making a commitment to create a sustained, visible presence in Athens.  Specifically, we are targeting the 5th Avenue/North Jefferson Street part of town as a starting point.  We have been working towards this goal all year, and it is exciting to see it coming to life.

Our Spring Into Action service project was a great start to this ongoing effort.  This cookout is the second event in what we plan to become a series of offerings in this community.  We have also worked on several home makeovers in this area of town over the past several months, and many of the people who live in this area have been helped through our weekly Dollar Club projects.

We believe that the time has come to Love God, Love Each Other, and Serve the World in a new way, in areas right here at home that represent challenges and opportunities to us as Christians.  Please make plans to attend this event, and if you would like to be more involved in cooking, helping with games, etc., please contact a Mission Athens team member.  Also, please pray for our ongoing efforts as we are entering a new chapter in our Mission Athens ministry.
