Some

churches have already moved, some are in the process and

some realize they will have to in another couple of

years.

The

Fayetteville Church of Christ is in the middle category.

It sold its property almost two years ago on Ga. Highway

85 north, where Barnes and Noble is about to open.

"Until

we are able to build a whole new complex," said

minister Scott Harp, "we are meeting in the office

buildings behind the IHOP in Fayetteville." He is

celebrating his fifth year with the church today.

Plans for

the new church show that available seats for worship will

increase by 200 and the entire facility will contain

40,000 square feet.

The church

supports a number of missions, with the Fayette

Samaritans being one of those. Others include The Atlanta

Inner-City Ministry, Raintree Village for Children, three

churches in Georgia and one in Scotland, Southern

Christian University for Mission Studies, Brown Trail

School of Preaching and the Churches of Christ Disaster

Relief Effort.

Upcoming

events include a ladies' night out with bowling in Newnan

May 12, a mother-daughter brunch at the Joseph Sams

School May 13, and that same day there will be a Christ

Golf Outing for women and men. The Silver Wings will make

a tour of the CNN Center May 20.

Lads to

Leaders/Leaderettes is a church mission devoted to

providing an atmosphere of leadership programs that can

equip third graders through college with the knowledge

and skills to become Bible school teachers, effective

speakers and church leaders so that they can take these

talents into communities in need of Christ, even before

they graduate from high school.

The program

boasts a 90 percent retention rate for young people and

is a program that goes beyond helping churches keep their

youth faithful.

This group

attended a weekend of Bible reading, song leading, etc.

with several thousand other youth participating in the

contest, and the Fayetteville group came back with 93

awards.

This

summer, a group of the adults will be traveling to the

Fiji Islands on a mission trip and expect to be gone for

several weeks.

The

Vacation Bible School will be a little different than

most; it will be Saturday, June 24, and be an all-day

event.

Services

are at 207 Jeff Davis Place, Fayetteville with Sunday

morning worship services at 8:30 a.m. and 10:45 a.m.,

Bible classes at 9:45 a.m., Sunday evening services at 6

p.m. and Wednesday evening Bible studies at 7:15 p.m.

address is www.fcoc.com and the various sites come complete

with hymns playing in the background
