*Note: Childcare will not be provided but we will provide activity pages. This is a special service for the whole family!

Each November, thousands of events will echo across America and around the globe, all sharing a single goal, that God’s great love for the orphan will find place in our lives as well.
Join us on November 16th as we focus on God's heart for the orphan and are equipped for the task of connecting to and providing for orphans in need. We have a global orphan crisis.
We will also be giving away our Joy Adoption Grant. We are honored to play our small part in helping a child find their ‘forever family. Invite a family you know to join us for this special service!
We need your help to deck the halls at Joy. This has become a fun church family tradition and we want you to be a part of it!
Come at 6pm on Thursday November 13th to help put some Christmas cheer on our walls.
We will provide grab-and-go dinner plates starting at 5:30 for those available to attend.
Join us for an interactive 12-week journey through Henry Blackaby’s Experiencing God, a life-changing study that helps believers know and do the will of God. Each week includes small group discussion, prayer, and video teaching from Richard and Mike Blackaby. You’ll learn to recognize God’s activity in your life, respond to His invitation, and walk with Him one day at a time.
Experiencing God is a Weekly Commitment:
Plan to spend 30 minutes a day, on five daily lessons. This preparation allows our group time to focus on sharing, encouraging one another, and applying the truths to our lives.
Wednesdays:
We’ll review highlights from the week’s workbook lessons, sharing meaningful scriptures, truths, experiences, and how we saw God working during the week. Each week also includes a video teaching.
This year, God has provided an opportunity to partner with the Moore Elementary school in Griffin to help provide gifts for families. See Josh for the individual lists.
Please wrap all gifts
No to/from gift tags
Place wrapped gifts together in a large bag, or tape temporary tags to the gifts with family/child info (to help with sorting). If you’re helping more than one child, please use more than one bag to keep gifts separate.
We need all gifts at Joy no later than Wednesday Night, December 17th.
Life South will be hosting a blood drive here at Joy on November 6th. There is a continued shortage of blood due to cancelled drives. We need your help!

This November our Young Adults groups will be partnering with Envision Atlanta to minister in the community of Clarkston GA.
“The world, contained within one square mile”. Clarkeston is a hub for refugees since the 1980s. 60 languages spoken and 150 people groups represented in this area.
Recently, an apartment fire has left over 50 people displaced and without belongings.
With autumn approaching, Envision Atlanta has asked for helping collecting coats and warm socks. Consider partnering with us to meet this need, and pray for our Young Adult missions team that will go serve in Clarkeston, handing out these items and sharing the gospel.
