Mission Madness took place March 15-17 in Athens, Georgia. It was a wonderful weekend of serving the community of Athens with around 200 middle and high school students and their adult chaperones from across our state. Our theme for the weekend was “being the salt and light” of the world. WE are the light of the world; WE are the salt of the earth. Along with serving at fourteen mission sites in Athens, we packed 20,000 Rise Against Hunger meals. Serving and missions is a huge part of the mission for CBF of Georgia.
Another exciting way to get involved is coming up this fall! The weekend of September 13-15, we will have a CBFGA Family Missions Weekend hosted by FBC Dalton, called “Serving Beyond.” This will be an intergenerational weekend, Friday evening through Sunday morning, with all ages invited to participate. We will go out and serve the Dalton community, along with worshipping and fellowshipping together. One of the projects offered during “Serving Beyond” will be building ramps for people’s homes. If you have a group of people in your congregation who want to learn how to build such ramps, you will have the opportunity to do that this weekend. If you have always wanted to get away and serve with your whole family, you can do that this weekend. I am so excited about this weekend!
If you have any questions about this weekend, please reach out to me. I am looking forward to serving alongside of you. Details will be available soon.
