BILLY JOEL ACCIDENTALLY PREACHED THE GOSPEL

Billy Joel said something on Colbert recently that stuck with me.

When he plays a big arena, the lights are so bright he can't see past the first two rows.

And he got tired of seeing the same thing every night. People who dropped a thousand bucks to sit up front but didn't know the songs, didn't care, weren't even dancing.

So he started buying up the front row tickets himself.

Then he sent his staff back to the cheap seats to find the people who were actually enjoying themselves, and he moved them down to the front.

He didn't want to see the people who thought they'd earned their seat. He wanted to see the people who'd receive it as a gift.

That's exactly how Jesus moves. The last shall be first.

Some people think they've got God figured out, confined to their process, their way, their checklist. But God keeps moving toward the ones who'll just receive Him as a gift.

Coming up this week at Gainesville First!

There’s so much happening as we worship, connect, and grow together this week.

VBS Celebration Sunday
Our VBS kids are taking over worship this Sunday, June 7! Join us for one combined service at 11am in the Sanctuary as they share songs, stories, and highlights from an incredible week of Vacation Bible School.

Please note: There will be no 10:50am Modern Worship this Sunday. Lakeside Worship (8:30am) and Chapel Worship (9:30am) will meet as usual.

Reception for Pastor Justin Combs
Following the 11am worship service, join us in The Gathering Room as we celebrate Pastor Justin Combs and his family before they begin their next chapter in Social Circle. Stop by, share your encouragement, and help us thank Justin for his faithful ministry at Gainesville First.

Summer Reads Book Study
Summer book studies continue on June 10 at 6pm in the Courtyard (or S-01 if raining). This month's selection is The Measure by Nikki Erlick. Whether you've finished the book or are still reading, we'd love for you to join us for fellowship and discussion.

Sticky notes end up everywhere - on our desks, mirrors, refrigerators, and dashboards. What if God had a few reminders He wanted to leave for you?

📝 Starting this Sunday, June 7, join us for Post-It Notes from God, a new sermon series exploring the simple truths we need to remember most.

Because sometimes one reminder can change everything.

Tucked into 367 acres of North Georgia woods, just up the road in Dahlonega, sits Camp Glisson, our United Methodist camp surrounding Cane Creek. They just celebrated 100 years of ministry.

What Glisson does is help young people experience the Christian faith as something alive and meaningful. A community experience of small groups, cabin life, worship under the trees, the kind of friendships that have a way of lasting well past the bug spray running out. I've watched kids come home from a week there, different than when they left. More themselves. More open to God.

If you've got a child or grandchild who might be a fit, or if you know a family who's looking for a meaningful summer experience for their kids, I hope you take a closer look. And if cost is the thing standing in the way of your family, please reach out to me directly. We have people here who care about getting kids to camp, and I'd love to help you make it work.

For registration, full program details, and dates, visit glisson.org, email [email protected], or call (706) 864-6181.

Grace and Peace,
Pastor Jamey
