UGANDA MISSION TRIP INTEREST MEETING
Our missions committee is exploring the possibility of adding a mission trip to Uganda next summer, 2008. This trip to east Africa is designed to offer us a new perspective on Christian witness and discipleship as we make a pilgrimage through a country full of pain and hope. We invite you to an interest & informational meeting on Thursday, September 13 at 6:30 in the Hull Dining Room to discuss this opportunity. Please call Will Zant, 706-543-1442, if you have any questions.

THEY HAVE ACCEPTED OUR INVITATION!
That’s right! Almost 50 new international students from countries around the world have already asked to have an American Christian friend assigned to them through our church’s International Friendship Program! Both families and college students are needed as volunteers now! To learn more about this special opportunity, please plan to attend an informative training program on Sunday evening, September 9, from 6 to 9 p.m. in room 255. Or, you may contact Lynn Bryant, our International Student Ministry director, at 706-543-1442, ext. 303 or Athens1stism@aol.com for further details or to obtain an application form. This training program is informational and does not require a commitment to become a friendship partner prior to attending. Of course, we hope once you learn more about this exciting mission opportunity, you will hear God’s call to make a new friend and to share His love in this way!
