Our present sacrifice secures the future.



For 40 years First Christian Church has had a partnership with nearby Woodland Christian Camp, in Temple Georgia. In 1968 when Woodland started construction First Christian was helping build the original cabins. Today we will soon bring to completion a newly built larger cabin in the Heritage section of the camp that will accomadate 16 guests for sleeping, restrooms, showers and a meeting room. Our commitment to the camp of $75,000.00 made just 3 years ago is helping secure a grand future for young people and growing beleivers around Georgia. We have collected slightly over half of our goal. $38,000.00 has already been paid. This Easter on March 23rd we shall turn our time of sacrifice into an offering to God. We call it "30 Pieces of Silver" offering. Bring your largest gift possible and we will finish our commitment to the construction early, save interest money on a camp loan and release the camp to move forward with other projects. This spring our congregation will gather at the camp for a dedication service and open house of the cabin we have built with God's help.
