Serve
The Templeton family takes a meal, once a month, to the men of The Extension. They invite anyone to serve with them by bringing a dish or visiting with the men after dinner. Go to the Sign Up Center to sign up to serve each month or send an email to info@branchesofChrist.com
The Extension of Marietta – “the right chance can transform lives. Another chance is what we offer at The Extension – a licensed residential recovery program serving homeless men and women of Cobb County who suffer from alcohol and other addictions.”
YAL3:16 came about from our ladies Bible study group studying the Priscilla Shirer book, “Jonah.” Priscilla encourages those in the study to do more than just DO a bible study. So YAL316 Ministries was created. Rather than asking our congregation for money, the ladies wanted to use their talents to create things to sell for the ministry. We sell these items at “Georgia Antiques & Treasures” in Canton and various craft shows. Then we take the profits and purchase top quality socks and tag them with “You Are Loved John 3:16” and send them to one of Georgia’s State Prisons and a local jail.
We have created various items, casserole carriers made from fabric that would be thrown away, aprons from men’s dress shirts that were discarded, etc. We re-purpose those things being discarded for His greater purpose! Just like those who are incarcerated.
We wholeheartedly believe that lives, and further generations, can be saved and healed by John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
