12 NOON- THE LORD’S PRAYER. As part of the Global Methodist Church, everyone is invited to stop at 12 Noon sharp, if possible, and take a moment to pray with all our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. The Lord’s prayer is the perfect prayer model, so if time permits, why not take a moment and ponder the different segments of the prayer and go deeper with God. May God bless the Global Methodist Church worldwide as we all devote this time of prayer to God.

REBECCA CIRCLE wants to thank the Atonement Church family for all who helped on their bake sale, which was a fundraiser for ministries. For those who supported it with their pur- chases, please know that $250.00 will be going to the Red Bird Mission in Appalachia.

VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: In the last several months there have been a number of people who have had allergic reactions to perfume, colognes, scented soaps and lotions. Reactions have been varied, but not insignificant. Did you know that fra- grance sensitivity and allergic reactions affect approximately one-third of the population, with nearly 10% of the population having allergic reactions? Because of the health issues at stake, would you be willing to consider God’s House a fragrance-free zone? Some of our church family are having to leave because of trouble breathing and headaches. Your cooper- ation is appreciated.

QR CODE – Atonement now has a QR Code that will make giving to the church easier. Aim your camera on your phone on the code and it will take you to Atonement’s Giving Page on our website. And then, continue to follow the prompts. No App necessary!

GRIEF SHARE – Meetings are now ongoing at 6:30pm in the SURGE Youth Room. Leaders are Bruce and Deborah Gayley. Call the church office or just show up. (302.798.8472) Even though the course has started, walk-in’s are welcome at any time.
