Shooting for 30!


This Sunday is High Attendance Sunday, and our goal is to have 30 in attendance! New Location... New Time!... 
Room 318 at 9:15 am


Please make a serious effort to invite folks this Sunday as we shake things up a bit. Along with our new location and time, we will also have a special "Christian Apologetics" discussion lead by Billy as he shares a number of very interesting things that help defend the Bible and our faith in Christ! This will be a great discussion for believers AND those still searching spiritually. Hope to see EVERYBODY there this Sunday!

Additional Announcements
Easter Lilies: Sign up now to honor or remember a loved one on Easter Sunday, April 4th with a great symbol of the resurrection: an Easter Lily or Hydrangea which can be taken home after the second service on Easter Sunday. Plants are $14. Special seasonal flower envelopes are available at the various welcome desks and church office. Please indicate on the envelope if you'd like a lily or a hydrangea (if you do not indicate one, the plant will be a lily). The deadline to sign up is March 29th.
Buckets of Hope: The collection deadline for the Buckets of Hope project has been extended to March 6th for the Piedmont Baptist Association. If you thought you didn't have time to participate in this project, the extension gives your family or LJG more time to collect items and drop them off at the PBA office. With a cost of approximately $40/bucket, it is an easy way for your family of LJG to be involved in the relief effort and spreading God's love to those who need it most! If you are interested in this project, please see the additional information here.
