Announcements: Week of January 8

Pastor Brooks will be sharing greetings and the purpose at the Connecting Couples Marriage Ministry virtual meeting on Tuesday, January 17, at 7 pm. We are asking ALL couples to join Ken $ Vernita Griffith in this first meeting of the year, where the focus will be on discovering the wants and needs of the couples. The ministry is a connection for successful couples (who need inspiration), couples who desire marriage maintenance, and couples who want to have fun and fellowship. Please attend if only one spouse is available. We want to hear from you and serve you appropriately. Check the church calendar for meeting login information.

The New Generation Choir will rehearse on January 14 and 28 at 2:00 pm. 

WE’RE BACK! The Annie B. Davis Fellowship Ministry will resume Wednesday, January 18, 10:30 am – 1:00 pm.  Please call the Church if you need transportation.

We care for you and would like to help you with the tools to maneuver through the maze of grief from denial to acceptance. The first grief support group (Pathway) will start Thursday, January 26 at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom. Please register by contacting Senitra Pryor (Poplar Springs Counseling Ministry) at 919-696-0998.  This program is sponsored by the Counseling, Caregivers, First Aide, and Health Ministries.

Please donate portable heaters for families in need. The Abraham Sunday School class needs your help with donations of portable heaters to help families in need for the upcoming winter months.  Distribution will be first to those in our church family, then to those in the community.

Habitat for Humanity Fall Build:  We are in need of volunteers (ages 16+) to help build homes at Old Poole Place.  The kickoff is on January 28, and we need about five (5) volunteers that day.  I also challenge Poplar Springs ministries, sororities, fraternities, and other community groups to sign up and volunteer for two additional days!  We would like Poplar Springs to help on March 25th and  April 15th with at least ten volunteers.  All volunteers must register through your coalition hub link: http://vhub.at/fallapostlesbuild.  For more information, contact the Church Administrator at administrator@poplar-springs.org.
