Where your treasure is...
By JOHN HATCHER

These next four columns, for the most part, won’t go down easy! Yet, I sincerely believe a prophetic word must be spoken to affluent Fayette County folks - particularly Christians - concerning the place of money in their devotion to the one and true living God. Most ministers these days hesitate almost to a halt in regard to speaking the Word of God about money for fear that their church will lose members and guests won’t return.

North Fayette UMC will celebrate 20th anniversary

Founding pastor Dee Shelnutt will be on hand to help members of North Fayette United Methodist Church celebrate the church’s 20th anniversary Nov. 14, 15 and 16. The church began as an unnamed congregation 20 years ago in Shelnutt’s home, with 10 members present. The first service was held at the old Kenwood school building with 36 in attendance. Shelnutt is now pastor of St. John’s Creek United Methodist in Duluth.
