SEPTEMBER 2019

Timothy House Autumn Fun Festival October 19th 10:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m.

Location: 35 Regeneration Way Talking Rock, GA 30175

We invite you to come to our first Annual Autumn Fun Festival at the Timothy House. We welcome everyone in the community to join us!! We hope to help you learn a little about us and our program and see our facilities which includes our horse stables. We will have hay rides, music, pumpkin painting, all types of games and fun things for kids to do! We will also have a large indoor yard sale event! The space is huge and the items available are plentiful! The event is free for all! We will be hosting an empty bowl event which will feature handcrafted pottery. The way an empty bowl event works is that, for a minimal cost, you will be able to pick out your bowl and have it filled as many times as you would like with your choice from our empty bowl menu. Our food choices for the empty bowl event will be:

Chili Con Carne Great Northern Soup Beans with Ham

Spaghetti with Meat Sauce All are served with Homemade Corn Bread, and your choice of drink and dessert

This is our annual fund raising event for our ministry and it cannot happen without your help. To help us make this event a success we will need many people from our community to get involved. This can be any person, company or group. There are several ways in which to get involved and make this event successful. One is by becoming a monetary sponsor of which we have several levels available. One is to help us at the event itself by offering your help to run one of the booths or get involved in helping with the empty bowl event or another area of need. Another way to help is to contribute items that are needed for the event itself, food items to prepare and/or drinks, paper products, etc. , however you choose to help will be a blessing to this ministry and all the men and families in our community that this ministry touches. If you are interested in helping in any way or would just like more information about the event itself please contact us.

Contact: Mrs. Nancy 770-324-4994 Or Pastor Bob 770-324-1309 for more information

As a 501c3, Our mission is a ministry devoted to the healing and restoration of those in our

community that are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol. We use the sound teachings of the Bible and the principles that God has set in place for all of us. It is with this understanding that they and their families

start the process to become healed, renewed and restored to the body of Christ.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOE BOXES

Can you believe Fall is just around the corner? That means Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child 2019 is getting very close. We will kick off our collection starting October 27th.

Our goal this year is to collect 200 boxes. Last year we collected 177 boxes, so let’s reach this goal together. This is such an amazing opportunity to reach the children around the world that have not heard the word of God. More information will be coming soon. In the meantime, start thinking about what you want to put in your boxes for God’s precious children.

For more information, please contact Brandi Dean, 334-494-0178.

Dated pictures have been placed in the sanctuary library from Children’s Ministry events dating back to the early

90’s. PLEASE take some time to look through them especially if yourself or a family member have grown up in this church. Feel free to take the box home, get what

you would like then bring it back for the next person. There really are some good pictures, please take a

moment to reminisce.

September 6th-8th: Children’s Fall Retreat We will be traveling to Camp Glisson locating in Dahlonega, GA. This will be a Christian enriched weekend for both the chaperones and kids. Our time will be spent in fellowship, worship and fun. Please keep the kids and adults in your prayers during this time as we travel and explore how there is Spark of God’s creation in each of us. September 4th: Kids of the Kingdom Kick Off We are looking forward to seeing all our kiddos again!! Kids of the Kingdom is our free weekly afterschool program. The kids have lots of fun during our time together. The program follows pretty closely to the Jasper’s School Calendar regarding when we will have the program and when we will break for a holiday. No sign up is required or minimal attendance. All children: 3 years old through 5th grade are welcome to attend. Our time spend together will consist of snack, lesson, free play and music. Everyone is welcome to stay for dinner with a reservation and minimum family cost. This is a great way to have a quick wholesome family dinner around the table for the equivalent cost of a drive thru. Please let me know if you have any questions.
