Rev. Danny Gulden  Senior Minister
From Danny -

Dear ,

Have you ever felt like you didn't belong?  I remember walking into the large classroom on the 3rd floor of Bishops Hall at the Candler School of Theology on my first day of seminary for my first class, OT 501. I spent most of those two hours wondering if I could cut it at Emory after being out of school for a few years. Could I make it in the church, did I have anything to offer the church that wasn't already being offered? (Continue reading)


On Sunday, we conclude the "Unsung Heroes" sermon series with Rev. Danny Gulden preaching "Unsung Heroes - An Unnamed Woman" Luke 7:36-50  
 
JOIN SSCC: You can join SSCC by a simple affirmation of faith. We hold regular New Member Sundays on which new members are welcomed into our congregation. Please contact Rev. Danny Gulden at [email protected] with questions about joining.
All Church Summer Worship - 10 AM Sundays in July
    

During the four Sundays in July, the entire church will have the opportunity to worship together in a relaxed casual way at one service at 10 AM each Sunday. We will incorporate the best of what each different service has to offer. Each service promises to be inspiring. The July sermon series is entitled "Stories that Changed the World" looking at some of Jesus' parables. Join us on July 5, 12,19, and 26 for an All Church Summer Worship Experience.

 Music Minister
Sunday's Music

People, like the unnamed woman in Luke 7, sometimes surprise us with a perception of us that goes beyond what we think of ourselves. It is humbling, and causes us to strive harder for those "eulogy values."  The Worship  Band, on its final presentation until August, will lead us in singing "One Spirit of Love", "Your Grace Is Enough", "Lord, Prepare Me" and closes us out with "They'll Know We Are Christians" in their own inimitable style.
 
We shall deeply miss Dashiell and Jonathan as they go off to college.  They have made a huge difference in the music at SSCC since they came to start our Worship Band. Please wish them well.
"Beginnings" Class      

 

"Beginnings" is for visitors and new members. The next session will be held on Sunday, June 28, 12:30-2:30 PM and includes a light lunch.  It is led by Rev. Danny Gulden and will meet in the Conference Room. If you haven't signed up and want come, just show up in the Conference Room at 12:30 on Sunday!
 Seek. Serve. Grow.

Adult Focus Sunday School  

June 28th  from 10:10 - 10:50 am  

 

 

Path Finders: The Problem of Evil - Rollin Mathis 

The problem of evil, more accurately described as creation's random cruelty toward the innocent, has been described as the atheists' best argument against a loving God. We will dissect this problem, explore the approach suggested by the Book of Job, and discuss some modern ideas. The focus will be a brutally honest look at the problem so that we avoid the counter-factual
clich�s of the "comforters" in Job.
