If you have not been to the camp in awhile

I encourage you to take a trip up there and

see all the improvements that have been made.

You can call the Associational office

and she will be happy to assist you

with your bookings.

Thank you

Does your church need a ministry project?

I have been contacted by "Developmental Disabilities Ministries."  They have two homes here in the Augusta area. The Pedigo and Drew Homes for women.  Both homes are in need of assistance in several areas.

The churches in the West Augusta Coalition, that worked together on "Love Acts" projects, have agreed to adopt the Pedigo Home for women.  They will work to help meet the needs of that home.  The second home is the Drew Home for women; both homes have a need for perishables.  If your church is looking for a ministry project please call the Association office and we will give you contact information and a list of the needs.

Planning Seminar

If you are 55 years and older you should have received a letter from Guidestone concerning upcoming changes in your retirement options.  Dr. Keith Hamilton will hold a meeting here, at The Baptist Center, September 28, to cover these changes.  I encourage you to register with GBC by email dnorris@gabaptist,org.
