Mission Awareness Sunday!
Special worship service
January 30th, 2010 was a special day at Avondale Pattillo. The worship service centered around missions -- helping others. Rev. Dalton Rushing of Johns Creek UMC was our guest preacher. Rev. Rushing oversees "SERVE" at Johns Creek.
Mission Fair
Then after the service, people flooded the sanctuary building hallway and entry area, which was filled with displays about our mission efforts as well as local community outreach programs.
Members of the Missions Work Area (aka Committee) were on hand at our displays and many of the local community organizations sent a representative to be at their displays.
Light refreshments were available during the Mission Fair to help "tide people over" until the fair ended at 1pm.
