Current News/Announcements

This Sunday we will conclude our sermon and worship series on That They May All Be One with a focus on unity. In John 17:20-21, Christ prayed for his disciples then and for those who would follow later. He prayed, “I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” We must strive for unity because that is Christ’s will for us. But it is also the way that the world will know Christ.

Many thanks to the Crosbys for a beautiful program on Sunday. We raised almost $1200 for the “Unto the Least of His” ministry with people in Africa. These funds will go directly to providing water and health care for those in need. Thank you for your support!

We will have our annual chili cook-off on November 17 at 6 p.m. to benefit missions. We are calling all of Liberty’s chili chefs to break out your best recipes and get ready to share them with everyone as we welcome cooler weather and raise support for our church’s mission causes. Bring along those good desserts, too.

We will be having our monthly Liberty Fun Night on November 19th from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. This is for children ages 4 years to 5th grade.  Our theme for this month is: Be Thankful. We will have a light supper, games, music, crafts, story, and a short movie. All children invited. Contact Pam Creech (478-788-5941) with any questions.

Our District Superintendent will be with us in a called Church Conference meeting on November 28 at 4:00 p.m. to hold an official vote on disaffiliation from the South Georgia Conference of The United Methodist Church. This vote is open to full professing members of Liberty and members are required to be present in order to vote. A 2/3 majority vote is required by the Book of Discipline to approve the disaffiliation. There will be a final congregational meeting for questions and answers on the week BEFORE the vote on November 21 at 4:00 p.m.

We apologize for failing to make an announcement for the congregation to welcome Elizabeth Remick as a member of Liberty. Elizabeth joined on reaffirmation of faith on August 15. Send her a welcome at pelizremick@gmail.com or at 109 Wendy Court, Macon, GA 31216.

The CREW Youth Ministry thanks everyone for supporting our fifth Annual Youth Golf Tournament. With the $2700.00+ raised this year, we will be able to do a good bit of mission work this coming summer with our Summer Serving Sundays, get some new merchandise, go on a couple of trips, finish our updates in the youth area, as well as so much more. We greatly appreciate your support whether through sponsoring, donations of snacks, drinks, time, as well as playing. We want to ensure you know how important your commitment is to our youth not only at Liberty but in our community. Please accept our heartfelt thanks for your generosity!
