New opportunity for building community

We will be moving to a new location this coming Sunday. We will combine two classes and move to module 4. Join with me in welcoming the new group and new friends to be. I'm excited to see God build our fellowship.
What a trip yesterday! Chip Brown was kind enough to get us a tour of the facilities at Delta. It was great! Thank you so much Chip. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Oh yeah, we had some "get down" barbecue. Hit the spot. The girls spent the day at Dahlonega. Can't see how they could have had a better time than we did. When God creates the fellowship, it can't be beat. Check out the pictures.
