Ladies(Gail Adams, Judy Mailen, Katrina Kingsley, Miranda Chancey)

The goal of the Ladies Ministry is to increase the number of the ladies of the church involved in visiting, ministering, and outreach (both within our family and in the community).

The Ladies Ministry includes: • A Tuesday morning class from September through May • Food ministry for church family needs and funerals • Grading and mailing of Bible correspondence courses • Preparation of communion bread • Preparation and distribution of handouts for visitors • Conduct Wednesday evening Ladies’ Bible class (Fall Quarter) • Provide services to North Georgia Family Crisis Network • Secure and place floral arrangements in the building • Host a Ladies’ Day Program, March 16th • Conduct a Ladies’ Retreat • Other selected services as needed

Youth Education (Josh Chancey, Brandon Jones, Daniel Sisson, Tim Hall)

The Youth Education program is very important in the development of children’s Christian lives. • Teach children of all ages the importance of studying the Bible • Teach younger children Bible basics that will serve as building blocks as they grow older • Teach teens how to use their knowledge of the Bible to handle situations they face on a daily basis • Encourage parents to be involved daily in their children’s Christian education • Encourage parents to have their children involved in activities that are planned • Provide opportunities for children to fellowship with other young Christians • Promote an atmosphere of unity among the children, youth and senior adults • Encourage responsible personal social media use • Read and study the Bible daily

Proverbs 22:6 - “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Psalms 127:3 - “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.Ephesians 6:4 - “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.”

Lads to Leaders

Camp Wetoga(Barry Pritchett, Daniel Sisson, Tim Hall)

The Ellijay congregation has been involved in the organization and development of the North Georgia Bible Camp since 1969. It was later named Camp Wetoga in 1983. The camp continues to expand and offer additional activities and training for youth by the different congregations of the church in North Georgia. Some of the activities that have been accomplished by the camp are listed below: • In 2018, there were several baptisms and many young people asked for prayers • Over 2000 baptized into Christ since its beginning in 1969 • With recent donations from individuals and churches, the camp debt has been cut in half since 2013 • Due to the addition of the new pool, plans to pay the camp debt will be completed in 4-7 years, which will enable the camp to provide more spiritual opportunities and growth for our young people • Great environment for youth to find their inner-self away from worldly distractions • Thousands of life-long friendships established • Over 30 marriages from couples meeting at camp • Rekindles the fire in many young people who attend camp • A great place to be spiritually uplifted • Encourage more youth to participate and assist in serving at camp

GOALS: • Update Ellijay cabin by providing construction materials • Provide 20 youth scholarships for young people to attend camp • Build an outdoor pavilion for devotionals, Bible classes and other activities. Cost of this will be approximately $40,000 to $50,000. We plan to raise the money to build this and incur no debt. We may be able to use timber on the property for lumber • Finish the new swimming pool. The old one was 35-40 years old and was beyond repair • Schedule a minimum of 25 youth and a minimum of 10 adults as camp workers from Ellijay to attend at least one summer camp session • Encourage churches involved with the camp to make more use of the camp facilities • A fundraiser is planned at the camp in May 2019

(Brandon Jones, Daniel Sisson, Tim Hall)

Lads to Leaders is the oldest and largest leadership training program used by the churches of Christ. Beginning in 1968, the program has set out to create Christian leadership in the youth of the congregations of the Lord’s church. The program currently has over 20,000 participants nationwide, developing skills which will allow them to step forward and become the future leadership of the church. In addition, those congregations who utilize Lads to Leaders see a retention rate of 85% or higher in their youth after graduation, compared to the usual 50% or less of those congregations who do not use resources such as these. These are merely a few reasons as to why Lads to Leaders is an essential part of the development of the youth of the congregation.

• Develop young people’s abilities • Prepare youth for service in the Kingdom of God • Offer a variety of Bible-based materials for all ages • Youth can choose from around 40 events/projects to work on that cover a wide range of interests • Teach our youth to be leaders • Look at the talents developed with God’s help in our youth • Encourage all youth in the congregation to participate
