Building Usage
We have a number of people who use or buildings for reunion groups, bible studies, preparing for Sunday School.  If you or your group move furniture around, or adjust the thermostats; please make sure that these items are placed back in their original positions. We want to be good stewards with our time and funds.  Here in South Georgia we do not want our A/C running at 68 degrees when there is no one in the building.  Also before you leave please make sure that ALL doors are locked. Thank You!
Lowndes Area Crisis Care (LACC)
Lowndes Area Crisis Care (LACC) is organized by area churches to provide short-term financial help for those in emergency need. Individuals seeking assistance from churches and other community organizations may be referred to LACC to determine the best way to help during financial crises. Several people from Christ Church are involved in this endeavor, and LACC is seeking additional donations and volunteers. LACC's office is at the Lowndes County Social Services Building, 601 N. Lee St. and LACC will reopen in early September. Contact Diane Holliman or (229-560-8645) for more information.
