6 Caught...Dr. Harry Hill. Caught being a good friend. Dr. Hill took time to visit an old friend, Reed Williams, who had moved from his home to Bethel Gardens Assisted Living in Powder Springs. Dr. Hill is 96 years old, regularly attends 8:15 worship, teaches a Sunday School class, attends a weekly Bible study, gardens, shows horses and has a busy life. Yet he took time to visit an old friend who had made a difficult transition in his life. Thanks, Dr. Hill, for being the friend God made you to be! Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can. -John Wesley- Attendance WORSHIP (4/6/2014) 8: : : Transformation Spanish Nursery Faithbuilders Total DISCIPLESHIP (3/31/2014-4/6/2014) Studies Sunday School Total YTD through March 2014 Actual Income $ 1,482,562 Expense $ 1,522,565 Net ($ 40,003) Monthly Budget Summary April 2014 Received Expenses April 6 $ 37,805 $ 41,250 April 13 April 20 April 27 TOTAL $ 37,805 $ 41,250 Copies of the weekly prayer list are on the tables in the Narthex.
