Our Women’s Bible Study Began on Tuesday September 12th. It is a 12 week study titled “Twelve Women of the Bible”. They will not be meeting on September 19th, but instead be attending a luncheon at the Concord Baptist Church on that day. The bible study will resume on September 26th at 10:00 am in the Club House.
Prayer Networking/Caring Ministry
Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. James 5:13-14
If you have a need for special prayer, please call Jennifer Wisnewski at 404-226-0023.
If you would like to be part of this “CHAIN” call Jennifer or the Church Office at 770-844-7095 and your name will be added to the list.
The Pleasant Grove UMC Altar Guild is a Service Ministry. The Guild’s purpose is to provide the best possible environment for our congregation’s worship of God. This committee works closely with the Pastor and the Worship Committee to provide visual elements which reflect the liturgical season.
The space to the right of the Altar Table is designated as a place of honor and is important to us. If you would like to help us celebrate and remember, or honor someone or an event, we welcome your contribution. Please call our church secretary, Diane, to add your name to the altar calendar. A reminder is that flowers must be fresh, however they do not have to be from a florist.

Another Evening Study
Join us for a six-week study beginning Tuesday, September 26th in the Club House, on Christianity and World Religions: Questions We Ask About Other Faiths by Adam Hamilton. Led by Pastor Dana, we’ll learn about the basics of other major faith traditions and compare them to our Christian faith so that we might grow in understanding others and come to a deeper appreciation of our own faith. Study book $15. You can order the book through Diane by August 31st. (Also available on Kindle.)
