When it comes to caring for "the least of these," our homeless children (there were 260 in the Rockdale School System alone last year) and their families in our community, the following churches rose above their differences to join together to do God's work through Family Promise of NewRock. I hope you will join me in thanking them for their selflessness.
Host Congregations:
Epiphany Lutheran, Conyers
St. Pius X Catholic, Conyers
Smyrna Presbyterian, Conyers
Life Church, Conyers
Conyers First UMC, Conyers
Rockdale Baptist, Conyers
Rockdale Alliance, Conyers
Allen Memorial UMC, Oxford
Milstead Baptist, Milstead
Conyers First Baptist, Conyers
Trinity Baptist, Conyers
Conyers Presbyterian, Conyers
New Life in Christ Baptist, Conyers
Support Congregations:
Grace UMC, Covington
These congregations recognize that together a difference can be made here and now and with their devotion to serve "their neighbors," we will begin to care for families the week of Nov. 13. There is always room for other congregations to join us as a Host or Support congregation or for businesses and individuals who just want to volunteer their time, talent and/or treasure.
