Announcements, upcoming events and thoughts from our Pastor, all in one place
Please keep Barry Leithead in your prayers. Barry is the 28-year old son of a former coworker and friend of mine. Barry suffered a stroke on December 21st and is in the neuro ICU at Emory Hospital. His parents have been told he should recover but the recovery time will take months. Please pray for the medical team taking care of Barry and also his parents, Tad and Sue, as this has been a great shock to them. Pray for comfort and complete healing. Thank you.

Update and message from Pastor April…….
Hello, Hollydale Family! Thank you for praying for Miss Nita. The doctors discovered a UTI and are working to get her hydrated enough to recieve the antiobiotics she needs interveniously. She is in Green Tower, Room 763. Please, whether you know her or not, stop in to see her to share the love and hope of Christ not only with our dear sister Miss Hilt but with her room mate as well. There is no better way for folks to see who Christ is than through the love and hope that shines through each one of you!I recommend visits of 15 minutes or less as Miss Nita is tired and needs to rest. Please take a card of encouragement to Miss Nita so she and her family will remember you visited. Please take a card of encouragement for her room mate as well as God leads you.Thank you for your compassionate heart for Christ and the deep walk of being His disciple. It is a joy to see!In His Service Pastor April 678.571.7818

MESSAGE FROM PASTOR APRIL......
Due to the weather conditions and possible road hazards tomorrow morning on many of the side roads, Hollydale will not meet for services but suggest you have church at home with your loved ones. The Peace of Christ comes into our lives when we are still and know that God is mighty. Meditate upon Psalm 27:14. Tomorrow morning be still and look outside and see God's power and work. Be still and know that it is in Christ that we rest.
Open your Bible together and share some time in the scriptures. Have a BLESSED Sunday!
Please join us at Hollydale United Methodist Church on Saturday, December 2nd 9:00 am–11:30 am. We will have pancakes, visit and pictures with Santa, and a special Kid’s Secret Santa Shop where the children will be able to "shop" (no money needed) for small gifts for family, and have them wrapped and ready to give at Christmas!
HOW CAN YOU HELP and BE BLESSED………
We need pancake mix (the kind you only add water) and syrup for our Breakfast with Santa. If you are able to help, please bring it to the kitchen and leave on the counter.
We need volunteers to help make the pancakes and serve the community.
We need volunteers to help with the Secret Santa Shop. Gail Draper is coordinating the shop, so please let her know you can help with set up, helping the kids pick out gifts, wrapping, etc.

Spread the word so folks are buying their pumpkins from our Hollydale UMC Patch!
Share that all the money is split between the church & the Navajo Indian Reservation in NM.
Share there is face painting, pumpkin carving, story time, & pumpkin painting on sight.
Share that on Fridays from 2-4pm there will be Pamper the Pets where the kids can come interact with animals (rabbit, turtle, dog) and help raise money for the Girl Scouts.
The pumpkins are reminding us of our most powerful weapon/tool for living well. Challenge your friends, coworkers, and people you don't know standing next to you in line at the checkout to stop by and see if they can figure out what the pumpkins are reminding them to do.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED THIS SATURDAY! If anyone can help us unload the pumpkins at Hollydale UMC this Saturday (9/30), we need EVERYONE who can help for ANY AMOUNT OF TIME this SATURDAY @ 8AM. We will have donuts and fresh coffee!
I just found out that Pastor Roberto has secured a whole truck load of food from Atlanta Food Bank! Praise the Lord! AFB is donating it to the Houston area. This Sunday after the 11am service, the Powder Springs Hispanic community is hosting a luncheon to raise money to pay a truck driver to drive the food to Houston. All are invited.
Additionally, if anyone wants to go to help the community of Houston, there is a group going from Thursday to Sunday of next week. Contact Pastor April if you want to go.
If you want to help with supplies for those going, bring any of the following to Hollydale UMC this Sunday and place them under the altar. We are collecting scrub brushes, buckets, garbage bags, gloves, soap-Dawn, Clorox bleach, shovels, paint brushes/rollers, paint pans, paint, and most of all prayers!
Pray for those suffering and families who have lost loved ones in Mexico. Pray for those facing devastation in Puerto Rico. May all lean upon the Savior and draw close to God.
Blessings!

Please reserve Sept. 3rd for Tiffany Evans’ “Down payment & needed household items Fundraiser”. Tiffany will serve Chicken Alfredo, salad, and bread that Sunday after our worship services. She welcomes any support you can provide.
Her goal is $3,000 which will give Tiffany her down payment, pick out a new washer, dryer, beds, couch, and other needed items. If you want to give Tiffany something towards this, it is not tax deductible, and the check should be given directly to her, not the church.
Also, any Saturday before August 26th that anyone 18 or older wants to help with building the Habitat house can now just text Tiffany at 404.883.4916 the week before and plan to be there on Saturday. Any amount of time will make a big difference! Come out and show the Hollydale UMC love - bring your friends & family with you! Let them know you are from Hollydale UMC when you show up for the build!
