First through fifth graders

might want to join WAAM (What Adults Are Missing), or perhaps to worship

in a spirited, upbeat and celebrative way and decide to participate in

"The Grove."

These and other new programs

are on the agenda at North Fayette United Methodist Church.

There are new, smaller Sunday

School classes, three new groups for middle schoolers and high schoolers,

and a "North Fayette 101" membership class, which you must take

to join the church.

There is something for everyone

here and with four Sunday morning services and a myriad of things to do

throughout the week, this church might just be your cup of tea.

The Rev. Franklin "Zip"

Long has been with the church for three years. He was born in Atlanta

and reared in Augusta and is a 1984 graduate of the Candler School of

Theology at Emory University. He is a member of the North Georgia Annual

Conference and all the churches he has served have been in Georgia.

He and wife, Mary, are the

parents of Laura, 19, and Hannah, 17.

"We want everyone to know

that this is God's church and we want it to be your church too,"

said Long. "This is a fellowship of believers who worship Jesus Christ.

Our goal is to teach God's word and share God's love. We invite everyone

to join with us in that quest."

He added that the church has

upgraded its equipment, which includes laptop computers and three computers

with DVD capability.

A 30-hour famine will be conducted

Feb. 22-23 and is an international youth movement to fight hunger and

save kids' lives. Those wishing to participate or volunteer can call David

Cook at 770-461-2758.

The WAAM youngsters meet for

a fun-filled time in the activities center after Sunday School.

The Grove is the praise and

worship service that begins in the activities center at 9:45 a.m.

Those wishing a more traditional

service are invited to the 8:30 a.m. service, at which the Lord's Supper

is offered every week, or perhaps the 11 a.m. worship service with choir,

preaching and monthly Communion.

The church is at 847 New Hope

Road, Fayetteville. Phone 770-461-2409. Its Web address is [email protected] .
