If you're driving by the corner

of Bernhard Road and Redwine Road, you'll notice a new church that has

just been built.

The Heritage Christian Church

is just three years old and has seen its worshipers grow from 75 to 410

persons.

It has gone from meeting in

two different schools to building its own facility, where it expects to

conduct Christmas services, according to its senior minister, Greg Marksberry.

Besides being busy with construction,

three different groups traveled to Mexico City, Cuba and the Ukraine this

summer as a part of its mission work.

New mission work within the

church consists of a care group, which assists those in divorce recovery

and those who are grieving due to the loss of a loved one.

In January, minister Jennifer

Dimbath will come on board to direct the children's ministry.

Beginning Jan. 31, a dinner

will be served each Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. with Bible studies for children

and adults from 7 - 8 p.m.

In February a new youth church

will be conducted each Sunday evening.

The new address will be 2130

Redwine Road and the new phone number will be 770-716-5768. You can also

check out its web site at www.heritagechristian.org .

Beginning Sunday, Jan. 7, new

worship hours will be at 9:45 a.m. and 11 a.m. Sunday School also will

be at those same times.
