The Fellowship Team will hosts its first “Greenforest Goes to the Movies” outing for the year in late February at Stonecrest Mall. Moviegoers will see the critically acclaimed movie “RISEN” that picks up where the 2004 blockbuster “Passion of Christ” left off in the biblical account of Jesus’ death, resurrection and ascension. This film will chronicle an unbelieving tribune, which is commanded by Pontius Pilate to locate the body of Jesus, dispel rumors of his

resurrection and prevent an uprising in Jerusalem. Please be on the lookout for the final selected movie date, time and price. All are invited to join us – members, friends and guests! The next Fire Drill will be conducted on Sunday, January 31, 2016 (after both services). This Fire Drill will replicate as 'close to a real fire evacuation' as possible. Meaning, instead of conducting a walk through, members will be expected to proceed directly to the 'actual' Safe Zones at the same time. Someone from the DeKalb County Fire Chief’s Office along with a Fire Truck will be present during the drill to help simulate the experience of going through a real fire. We are urging members to please be present at church on this Sunday to make sure we are able to go conduct the drill in a manner that helps us assess congregational readiness and safety fire evacuation.
