Special Announcements from our friends:    

Generation Excellent is excited to introduce our new program for 2025:  
“The Promised Seed: Discovering Jesus in the Story of Genesis”

One of the best ways to understand our salvation and our Savior is by looking at the creation account. Realize that a plan of redemption was in place even before the words, “Let there be light” were uttered. Discover the world was created as a setting with tools for this redemption plan. Rejoice in the fact that nothing can alter or disrupt God’s plans. See how the book of Genesis demonstrates that Jesus can take all the evil we create and make something good.  And He does so not because He has to, or not because He should, but because he makes a gracious promise that He would. Marvel at the One Genesis is all about…Jesus, “The Promised Seed”! 

{Also new for this year, when we do a program at your church, we would like to invite your youth/children to participate in a small portion of the opening song of our program.  If this is something your church would like to do, we would practice with them the Friday or Saturday before (whichever works best) and prepare them for performance on Sunday. This will give us all the chance to connect and give them the opportunity to be part of the service on Sunday. Of course this is completely optional. If you choose to participate, more details will be provided. Should you decide this would not work for your youth/kids, we would absolutely respect your wishes.}  

We would love to share this program with your congregation/community and it is our hope and prayer that everyone will see God’s redemption plan like never before.  We are now booking for dates in May through November. Dates are limited so please call and schedule TODAY! Call or email Pam Miller at 336-877-3440/millerpam0217@gmail.com.  

Ashe Pregnancy Care Center is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 to 5.  We are here to help with any pregnancy needs. Zella Gaeta, Executive Director Ashe Pregnancy Care Center 336-846-4100. 

Ashe Pregnancy Care Center has begun planning the Walk for Life on September 27th.  Registration will begin at 09:30 and the walk will start at 10:00.  We have changed locations this year to the Ashe Park...this will allow for more parking, a safer environment for the walkers and seating for the elderly.
