November 2nd—Joel Rosenburg Simulcast DVD
Our congregation joined the community in watching the simulcast on 9/11. It was very good, so we would like to share it again. Joel Rosenburg is an Old Testament Theological scholar. He shares his insight into the current political situations in the Middle East and how it relates to Biblical prophesies.
November 16th will begin our Advent Study Series
The Advent Series will be very different this year. It is based on the devotion booklet, “Java With John.” Through this series, John will open our eyes and call us from our comfort zones and into the truth that the Savior brings. Dr. Allen Stewart will have a unique approach to this series that you will enjoy and will give you a deeper meaning to your Christmas experience this year. The series will begin on Wednesday, November 16th. Dr. Stewart will continue the series each Sunday of Advent and each Wednesday night of Advent. Devotion booklets will be available for purchase on November 6th for $2.00 each.
We would like to welcome into our Christian Fellowship:
• Pam Carter & her daughter, Sandi Carter, who come to us by pro‐fession of faith. They live at 25 Jefferson Ave. Hartwell.
• Bill & Mary Brooks Hogan and their children, Will, Carter & Addi‐son. They come to us by transfer of membership from Simpsonville, SC. The Hogan’s live at 912 Melody Lane, Hartwell.
• Ryan Stowe who comes by profession of faith and Christian Baptism. Ryan re‐sides at 621 Church St. Royston, GA 30662.

f Stone Mountain Wesley Walk October 22nd We returned to Stone Mountain for the Wesley Walk Saturday, October 22, 2011 with five walkers, counting Dale & Cindie David’s dog, “Poppy”. (The four “people” walkers were the Davids, Jim Kesler, and me.) Our congregation raised $500 for this year’s Walk, and Jim Kesler was the walker who raised the most
money ($200) thanks to the donations from him and his John Holland Sunday School Class. Thanks also to the United Methodist Men for a donation of $150.00, and to all the individual donors who supported us this year. Jim Kesler finished the entire Walk, walking in memory of his wife, Sue who coordinated the Wesley Walk with Jim during the late 1980’s through 1991. In addition, many thanks to Dale and Cindie David for (Dale) driving Cindie’s car to Stone Mountain and getting us back to Hartwell safely. Charles Pace, Wesley Walk Coordinator
