Chase away winter chills!
January 29th

Playoffs, temperatures in the teens and short days mean wintertime is upon us. It also means it is time for some hot, tasty chili that comes with our Annual Chili Round Up. Hosted by our Unity Sunday School Class, the luncheon will be on Sunday, January 29th immediately following the 11 a.m. service. We will also have quart-sized Chili To Go ($8 for 32 oz). Vegetarian and children’s options too, plus homemade desserts for all! Proceeds benefit church charities.

Decatur First Has Talent
January 25

Last year’s first annual “Decatur First Has Talent” show was a smashing success, raising funds for ASP while providing an opportunity for the church community to see just how talented some of its members are. We saw such excellent acts as the song- and-dance styling's of Don Slaton, the comic relief of David Guy, and of course last year’s winner, British Invasion’s Christian Chalk.

This year’s show will be on Wednesday, January 25. Dinner begins at 5:45 p.m., and the show begins at 6:29 p.m. Come see the talented membership of Decatur First and vote on who will win the coveted title of “Decatur’s Most Talented,” and along with it the fabulous prize of a limousine ride to Waffle House! And, of course, all proceeds will once again benefit the Appalachian Service Project. There is still time to sign up! If you’d like to offer your talent and potentially win the top prize, simply contact John Cowden through the church office at 404-378-4541.
