Bluegrass and VBS Sunday on June 14

You’re invited on Sunday, June 14th for a joyful morning of worship and celebration. We’ll welcome the toe‑tapping Druid Hills Billys Bluegrass Band and honor our amazing kids and volunteers with a special VBS celebration. After the 11am service, enjoy King of Pops, free for kids and adults wearing their VBS t‑shirt, with pops available for purchase for the rest of the congregation. It’s a Sunday filled with music, gratitude, and community. Hope to see you there!

Prayer Bead Practice

For many of us, prayer does not come easily - our minds wander, we get anxious, and we judge ourselves for not being good at it.  Practicing prayer with beads can be very helpful!  Beads can help with focus, serve as a physical reminder of God’s presence, and quiet the mind.  Let’s practice using them together! You’re invited to join Janice Watts Yates at the church on Monday, June 15 from 6 - 7:30pm for a brief introductory lesson followed by several opportunities to practice using beads for prayer.  Register at this link.  If you do not have your own prayer beads, you can purchase them for $8 when you register. For more information, contact Janice Yates at jyates@decaturfirst.org.  

Friends & Family Choir

The Friends and Family summer choir is back starting June 21st! Join us in the sanctuary for a brief devotional and a rehearsal of the morning's anthem from 10:30 to 10:50 a.m. We look forward to seeing you there!
