Resurrection and Renewal at Swords UMC, (Athens-Elberton District, N. Ga. Conference)

To God be the glory!  After much prayer and study of the Word, the five remaining ative members of Swords UMC mailed a desperate plea to our community to help us save Swords Church from closing.  The response is heartening.  Our average attendance is up from 5 to 15 and out offering is up considerably.  Surely, God's promise of doing a new thing is happening.  Out congregation is slowly, but surely, coming to life.  Pray keep us in your prayers.  Thanks.  Anthony N. Gavalas, Pastor.
