Charlotte Stembridge, now home.

David — Thu, 27 May 2010 00:16:09 +0000

For those of us that have a relationship with God, through Christ, the goal is to one day go home. My Mom, Charlotte Gresham Stembridge passed away into eternal presence of God on May 8th. It was unexpected, and sudden; but for her, it was quick, and didn’t linger. I still find myself wanting to call her, and often thinking about some of the things I thought I would have wanted to say; but honestly, they were said. She had some true struggles for many years after my parents divorce in 1983; yet she clung to the hope that God had a purpose for her life, and a plan for her to lead many to Himself. She was the primary caregiver for my Grandmother, Vera, who moved out of the family house in Hapeville in about 1993. Granny turned 100 this past year, and has been a handful. She has moved down to McDonough to live with my Uncle Kenny and Aunt Louise. We are so thankful and grateful to God for their willingness to do this. Mom was involved with Meals on Wheels for 10 years, and between that, and her roles as floor leader, and bright smiling face at Lanier Gardens in Athens, served God well, and took her roles very seriously. They were all about sharing the peace of Christ with other around her. She desired to make sure everyone knew the peace that had captivated her live – totally.

Ukraine Bound (again!)

David — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 23:46:37 +0000

This July of 2010, Lorretta, myself and an additional team of 8 will head to Kiev, Ukraine for the 2nd summer to lead an ESL Camp with 10 members of the Open Hearts Church in Kiev, and 30 Kiev University Students. The name of the ESL camp 2010 will be “Nations. Each day (topic and lessons) will be based upon the Nations that make up the world.

Here’s the2009 ESL Camp Video

The Ukraine is one of the many places that was “untouched by the reformation, and people there live with no real knowledge of what True Christianity really is. We hope that through our actions, and friendships, we will have opportunities to share the “hope that lies within us”

Sergey and Natasha Bochko lead the Open Hearts Church, and have been doing much of the ground work for us in the Ukraine. We however, have had the “exciting” task of preparing for the week long curriculum!

So, please keep us in prayer, we’ll have a camera, and hope to shoot some footage; but the real goal is sharing the Light of the World!

Burke County Promotional

David — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 01:26:29 +0000

We have just finished a promotional video produced for the Burke County Chamber of Commerce.

The video tells the story of just what makes Burke County Georgia such a great place to live! Having lived here for the past 7 years, we have experienced this, and have come to love this great little community that has so much to offer.

“the Gift” that welcomes Christmas!

David — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 23:55:56 +0000

This past weekend, Dylan and I drove up to Kennesaw (metro Atlanta)to videotape Praise in Motion’s annual performance of the Gift. The first time I saw this, my daughter Chelsea was 4 or 5, and I was working in Atlanta at Fox5 News. I was asked if I could help run a camera, and agreed.

We started working with Praise in Motion shortly after this, and have gone back to Atlanta twice a year ever since then. We love being able to support their ministry, and have seen God use this vibrant ministry to teach and nurture so many wonderfully biblically Christian men and ladies. I always love this performance, as it takes place early enough for us to really begin to keep Christmas in perspective. You can see some of Praise in Motion’s dances on our youtube page here.

It’s beginning to look a lot like CHRISTmas

This is a note by Ralph Green
SeniorPastor,Calvary BaptistChurch

Well the year has literally flown by, we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving which means that Christmas is right around the corner. On Sunday November 29th, we will have celebrated the first Sunday of Advent beginning the anticipation of the celebration of our Saviors birth. The Prophet Isaiah promised Gods people over 700 years before hand in 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Immanuel means God with us. God becoming man to be with us humans, for the express purpose of redeeming us back and providing a means for us to be in a right relationship with God through faith Jesus Christ. Contrary to our modern way of thinking of a first and last name, Jesus Christ is not the first and last name of our Savior. Jesus (Jehovah is Salvation) is the name God the Father named His Son born in the flesh who would be Gods provision for the salvation of mankind. Christ is his title from the Old Testament as the promised Messiah who would save His people from their sins. While the marketing agencies on Madison Avenue and retailers jockey for position to capitalize on gift buying dollars during this season of celebration, the politically correct crowd is going to do their best to shove Christ out of Christmas with the mantras of Seasons Greetings or Happy Holidays; for Christians, we know that its CHRISTmas and that Jesus really is the reason for the season. Regardless of what pop culture or the politically correct talking heads think, do not be ashamed to respond to people Merry Christmas when they tell you Happy Holidays. Put a big smile on your face and reply Merry Christmas to you too. Christ can only be removed from Christmas if we sit by and say nothing when we have opportunity. Just be sweet, show the love of Jesus and honor the Lord as you go.

This is an exciting time of year as we are preparing for a wonderful celebration of our Saviors birth. I want to remind you it is one of the two times a year people will respond and come to church if you invite them. Many people want to go to church at Christmas and have no idea where to go, but if you invite them, they’ll come. I need your help doing just that, inviting people. Saturday Dec.5th is our Christmas blitz where well walk through a neighborhood near church and place a bag on door handles with our schedule of events, info on Calvary, a bag of popcorn with an invitation to pop in and see us and of course the gospel. Well have hundreds of these to pass out and we need people who will walk to distribute these. Well feed you lunch but plan now to help us on Saturday, Dec. 5th at 11:00 a.m. If it pours the rain, well aim for Sat.12th. December 13 is our choir musical in both services, Ken and the choir have been working hard and I’ve heard pieces of their music and it is awesome. Invite people to come with you to hear this powerful musical. Well have Christmas carols in our worship services all through December and each service will be special.

We are also kicking off our Lottie Moon Christmas offering for international missions. Our church goal is $24,000.00 which is an incredible opportunity for us to invest in Gods kingdom. Our international mission board uses every dime of this money for missionary support on the field and we have missionaries who cannot go overseas because there is not enough money to support them. I made a determination with my family several years ago that we would not spend more on ourselves at Christmas than we would give to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering as a birthday present to Jesus. What this meant for the Greens is that instead of giving our 5 kids each four presents, we might give them each 2-3 and we took the difference and gave that money to Lottie Moon as a gift to our kids in their names. Even as youngsters, our children got excited they could be part of the Lottie Moon Christmas offering. Let me challenge you to not spend more on yourselves than what you give to Jesus for the Lottie Moon offering. If we all made that commitment, well not only meet our goal, well exceed that goal. Of course Im not living in a cave and I know its tough economically and theres much uncertainty financially, but I do know that we can never out give God. He gave us the very best He had in the person of Jesus Christ, what a thrill to give so that others may know Him personally.

On a personal note, Cheryl and I pray that this Christmas will be a wonderful Christmas for you and your family. We thank God for you, we love you and were excited to see what the Lord will do through each of us this Christmas. From my little corner of the world to yours, its beginning to look a lot like CHRISTmas
