Sunday Review & Weekly e-News

I hope you're having a great kickoff to the week.  It was really just a great weekend of ministry at Church of the Way.  Here's some highlights:
  • Our students had a ball at Lake Lanier Islands water park along with one of the coolest videos you'll ever see.  We'll have it on the One Way page on the website soon.
  • We got all the yellow primed on the bus on Saturday, then on Sunday we got at least a coat of white on all the bus.  It won't be long and she'll be looking good!
  • In worship, we continued the series "Just Like Me" by talking about serving and studying the Matthew 9:36-38.  I encourage you to read that whole section.  We we see Jesus saying is that "More People Serving means More People Reached."  The harvest in our community is abundant.
  • We also had our Volunteer Appreciation Ceremony & Lunch.  It was a great day.  Thank you for all of you that serve and give of your time to make Church of the Way all she is.  We recognized a few for their outstanding service to Christ and His Church:
Volunteers of the Year:
Hospitality - Maria Vega
Welcome Team - Toni Granillo
One Way - Tony Watts
Kidz Way - Jim Ramsdail
Set-up - Keith Miles
Administrative - Jenna Dye
A/V - Paul Whitaker

2013 Volunteer of the Year - Barry Harden

It was a great day to honor so many that honor Jesus!  Here's a look at what's coming up at Church of the Way in the days ahead:
