Happy June, everyone! Summer heat has arrived, schools are out, vacations are scheduled, and the church is active. We are always excited about summer because it gives us new opportunities to invest in our community. This summer, we will be serving in the Summer Lunch Program, hosting Faith Kids Summer Adventures, harvesting our community garden, and continuing the normal work of Faith Methodist.

I hope that you will all take time to volunteer for at least one thing this summer, continue to give generously, and keep growing in your discipleship! Some pastors and church leaders refer to the “summer slump” in the months of June and July. I don’t believe that Faith knows what that is, and I hope we keep it that way! I love the heart of this church, and I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us.

As always, pray for your church and its leaders. Encourage one another. Serve your community. Love your neighbor. Be the presence of Christ wherever you go.

In Him,

Pastor Scott

Wednesdays at Faith is our weekly Bible study for all— a welcoming space to grow deeper in God’s Word together. Each week, we gather for Scripture-centered teaching, meaningful discussion, and prayer as we seek to know Christ more and live out our faith in everyday life. Whether you’re new to the Bible or have studied it for years, you’re invited to come as you are and grow with us.

This summer, we’re grateful to partner with Cartersville City Schools to help serve families in our community through the Summer Lunch Program.

Families are welcome to bring children ages 18 and younger to enjoy a free takeaway lunch Monday–Friday, June 1 through July 17, from 11:00 AM–1:00 PM.

We look forward to welcoming and serving you this summer!

While the Depression Support Group is hosted at our church, it is primarily secular in nature. This simply means the focus is on providing a supportive, encouraging environment for one another, though faith and personal beliefs are always welcome to be shared. Please note, this is not group therapy, but a place to connect, be heard, and walk alongside others.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Eddie Cabaniss at platyfurmany@gmail.com.
