Contact Neal Foushee for information and/or to sign up nealfoushee@gmail.com
• NEW: Sunday Morning Group.  It is hard to get to know other couples when you are trying to watch your children while holding a conversation. That is why we thought that it would be a good idea to create a weekly opportunity for parents to gather before worship so we can enjoy each other’s company while our children enjoy childcare. We envision this to be a time when we can have fellowship, conversation based study, and the opportunity to pray for one another. We hope you will join us at 9:15 starting on January 22nd for some grown-up time. Please contact Lori Delange for more information: loridelange@hotmail.com
• Children’s Ministry Position.  We are currently searching for a part-time (15-20 hr pw) Children’s Ministry Coordinator.  Our Children’s Ministry is growing deep and wide and we are looking for someone who can coordinate curriculum, childcare, and volunteers as we seek to teach, nurture, and encourage our little ones to follow in the way of Jesus.  Please forward resumes and recommendations to Thomas@KairosAtlanta.org

Dear Kairos Friends:

I must say that I never expected that my introduction to the community of Kairos would be quite so dramatic; but life often takes unexpected turns, as mine did on December 22 when I was in a head-on automobile collision. I understand that word spread quickly through the Kairos community and that I have been well and frequently prayed for. I have experienced the power of your prayers and cannot imagine getting through this without a community of pray-ers behind me. I have also experienced your “extravagant generosity” in cards, emails, offers of transport and food (lots of really good food!). Paul’s opening words to the church at Philippi come to my mind when I think of you at Kairos: Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart (Phil 1:3-5, MSG).  I look forward to being back among you soon, where we will continue to “encourage one another daily to follow in the way of Jesus.”

With great thanksgiving for you,

Camille Josey

Something To Think About:

“We claim ‘Jesus is Lord’ and we say ‘Thy will be done’ - so why do we assume, even demand, control?”

• Kairos Christmas Market…kind of.  There are several people in our church who are artists of some kind and/or who sell items to benefit their charities.  It is probably too late to pull together a Christmas Market (?) – but let’s get word out about who offers what!  We can support each other, find unique items, and make our holiday gift buying even more meaningful this season.  There is pottery, paintings, jewelry, calligraphy services, cds, children’s books…etc etc in our midst.  Share your info via Facebook and we’ll create a go-to list.  And/or contact Beth@KairosAtlanta.org
