Tomorrow is the BIG Day!!

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to post one LAST post to the "Atlanta Encounter" blog (for a while anyways) just to make sure we get the word to you that our new blog community can be found at www.church4chicks.blogspot.com.

God is already bringing women from other cities into our new and growing family, so we wanted to provide a blog community for ALL women to be a part of, especially as we grow into the vision for reaching women that God has given us.

I hope you'll hop on over and become a "follower" of the new blog. Please tell your friends and help us spread the word.

The Atlanta Encounter Church 4 Chicks begins TOMORROW NIGHT!! If you can't be there in person, please be there in spirit through prayer. We are desperate for God to show up and show off--without Him, this whole thing is absolutely pointless.

We love you!!

The BIG Reveal....

A Word from one of our sponsors...

February 26, 2009

Dear Friend,

My name is Alan Scott, and I am the Lead Pastor at Cumberland Community Church in Smyrna, Georgia. A few months ago, I was able to connect with Shelley Hendrix and a few of the great people from Church 4 Chicks. In that initial meeting, I could see the vision and heart Shelley had for ministering to women and digging into the Word.

I was so impressed, I offered the use of our facility at CCC for Shelley and the birthing of her dynamic ministry. Additionally, the women of Cumberland also jumped on the Church 4 Chicks band wagon as a great and needed supplement to our women’s ministry.

As a result, Church 4 Chicks was born and approximately 100+ ladies are now enjoying community, worship, and Bible, expository teaching in a setting that values and elevates women.

I would challenge you to offer Church 4 Chicks to the women of your church. If you already have a women’s ministry, I believe this could be an excellent boost or supplement to what you are already doing. If the women of your church currently don’t gather for a focused time together, I definitely think you should check Shelley and Church 4 Chicks out. Maybe you could send a small contingency of your women to a Tuesday night gathering of Church 4 Chicks, and then evaluate the possibilities.

AND… just so you know. Shelley is not a member of Cumberland and this is NOT a Cumberland thing. However, I do really believe what I’m writing, and to prove this you should know I’ve had Shelley speak at CCC on two previous Sunday mornings. She did an outstanding job! Shelley is a gifted and engaging teacher.

Listen, I know you get a lot of mail across your desk and the events and opportunities seem endless. If the women in your church are fine and well taken care of, I think you can toss this letter in the pile with all the other junk. But… if the women in your church need a boost, and you’d like for them to feel extremely valued … you should take the time to investigate Church 4 Chicks.

Blessings!

Alan Scott
