Do you feel like your marriage needs refreshing? Do you sometimes think you and your spouse are dancing to a different beat? Would you enjoy time with your spouse and others laughing and learning what the Lord wants in a Christian marriage? If you answered yes, maybe or no to any of these questions then you need to set aside Feb. 10th & 11th as a time for you and your spouse to reunite and reignite with us at the Amicalola Falls Lodge - just an hour from home. For only $180.00 a married couple you will receive: the conference, Fri. night dinner, a private room, breakfast and lunch on Sat., taxes and tip included, not to mention all the fun and fellowship! Many of us have found that it’s worth “taking time out to think about....” in fact it has sold out every year. There are only 25 spots so sign up at the Sign Up Center or online ($6 transaction fee). REGISTRATION DEADLINE – Jan. 22nd, after that it’s $200 and only if space and rooms are available. Call Katie with questions, 770-926-352

Your 2011 end of year giving records are available and can be picked up from Angie Thein at the Welcome Center. Your generosity has kept the ministry of Branches going for another year, thank you! Also, your consideration in picking up your record today saves us the extra postage. As you approach this New Year, it may help you to know that we are willing to keep track of your overall giving for tax write off purposes, but to do so require that you give by check, or cash that is in an envelope with an assigned number or your name. There are envelopes available above the offering boxes; just put your name and address on it before depositing.

Fusion is making a move
Starting Sunday, February 5th, Thursday Night Fusion will be on Sunday nights. I have found from many of you that this would work better and conflict less with school and other activities. The time will also change. We will meet from 6:00pm-8:00pm. If you have any question please contact DJ.
Thursday Night Fusion
Thursday Night Fusion is our 7th-12th grade program. Join us Thursday nights in the sanctuary at 7pm for fellowship, discipleship, discussions on what teens face today and how God’s Word applies to our lives. If you have any question please see DJ.
Unmasked
Unmasked is Fusion’s mid-week Bible study on Wednesday nights at 7pm. We meet in the sanctuary and join the adults in worship then split up guys/girls. Guys will meet downstairs in the Grapple room with DJ and girls in the communion room with Dianna. This Bible study is designed to be a real and safe place for students to come and talk about life and Scripture. Got questions? See DJ!
Awana
Awana is our Pre-School-6th Grade program that meets on Wednesday nights at 7pm. This life changing program is designed for children to experience God’s Word by worship, teaching, Scripture memorization, and activities. If you would like to register your child or if you have any questions, contact DJ or Julie.
Coming Soon...The Awana Store!
On Wednesday, January 8th, we will be having our second Awana store of the school year. For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, this is your clubbers chance to take all the stamps they have earned during Awana and spend them for awesome prizes. So make sure all you clubbers work hard this week to earn more stamps and then come out next week to trade them for cool stuff!
Branches’ leadership has long prayed for ministry to rise up from the Lord through the people. Once again we get to see this happening as Steve, Laurie, and Michael Hallock have been led to begin a ministry of getting the Word into people’s hands and hearts. They are willing to provide Bibles for any of us to give out while witnessing to others. One of the core principles we stand on is “Faith comes by hearing (and reading) the Word of Christ. Let them know when you need a Bible for a friend.
