We look forward to worshipping together in Spirit and in truth! We will be continuing our series on the book of Ephesians, joined by guest speaker Michael Burns!

On Wednesday night (1/24), Keith Willard, student at Georgia Highlands, son of Andy and Lia Willard, and brother of Eric Willard was baptized into God's amazing Kingdom. Keith is truly a "Kingdom Kid", growing up in the church and living the blessing of children's ministry, youth ministry, teen ministry, church camps, family groups, and being a part of a family that values serving the church family. The Willard family moved to North River from Southern California in the summer of 2021 and quickly integrated with the Mackintosh family group in the Northwest community. Keith found a kindred spirit in Sherwin through their shared love of piano playing and Sherwin's self-professed "shyness". And, in the summer of 2023, when Keith was ready to learn more about God, he reached out to Sherwin.

Sherwin and Kendall Albert prioritized regular time with Keith and helped him work through all his questions, culminating in Wednesday night's baptism. His life has been touched by hundreds of disciples and each left their mark, to which the family is eternally grateful. 

Atlanta School of Missions is in session Friday and Saturday of this week (Jan 26-27) and is promising to be a very enriching time for all who attend! Michael Burns and Jeff Hickman will be doing bible teaching, and Tom McGuirk and Jordan Massey will be doing practical ministry training.
