Friday Morning Update
We are asking volunteers across our region to meet at 8:00 AM on Saturday, February 2nd at Adairsville Church of God located at 297 Old Dixie Hwy in Adairsville. This is above Adairsville right off of Hwy 41. If you go north on 41 from Adairsville you cannot miss the church, it is on the left.
We will be clearing debris and removing trees. This means we will have chainsaw work. If you have equipment or a good strong back to help remove debris, you are needed. Bring good gloves, write your name on the equipment you bring with a phone number. Wear warm clothing as it will be chilly tomorrow. Everyone will get their assignments at the meeting.
Thank you all for your help in this matter.

Morning after the Storm
Morning Brothers and Sisters, as we begin the first full day of recovery, let me ask each of you to start at the appropriate place – and that is in prayer. Pray that God would help every person impacted by this storm and all of those who trying to respond. May God give us grace, wisdom, and the necessary provision to meet every person’s need.
