We are so excited for Stone River to partner with the efforts of JePau Outreach Ministries at Solomon Temple by supporting Hunger Relief Ministry every third Saturday.

The folks at Solomon Temple work at this ministry rain or shine every Saturday and have been for many years! They are thrilled to have us come along side and believe that we are all "better together"! Please feel free to go help any Saturday. We will be going as a group once a month every third Saturday to start. Our next Saturday to go together as a group from Stone River will be February 15.

Our be.come. Young Adult Class meets in the Wholistic Center Sundays at 11:15 studying Introduction to the Hebrew Bible by Dr. Tim Mackie led by Ethan Sharp.

Have you ever wondered where the Bible came from? This class is all about the origins of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and how to develop the skills necessary for reading it well. We'll explore the biblical and historical data about the production of the biblical scrolls, focusing on why and how these texts were formed into a unified collection. We'll also cover some of the most important skills for reading biblical narrative and poetry so that you can take your own study of the Bible to the next level.

Stone River has implemented a new way to stay connected in prayer with our church family. A page on the Echo prayer app has been created to easily share concerns and pray for our church! If you download the app, you will be able to follow The Church at Stone River Feed and see all of the concerns of our church members that we would like to lift up in prayer. You can interact with the prayers listed on the Feed or you can submit your own prayer requests by emailing them to THIS NEW EMAIL echoatstoneriver@gmail.com

As you share your prayer concerns, please…

- Have the direct party’s permission to share the situation with the church

- Specify if you would like to share with just the pastoral staff or the whole church

- Only share the information you feel comfortable spreading with others

We pray that by launching our Echo Prayer Ministry we may fulfill this image of our prayers being spread and echoed by our church family around us.

Next marketplace day at Stone River: February 2

Trade Fair Marketplace the first and only nonprofit fair trade enterprise in Alabama. Our retail store sells unique handcrafted items from more than 30 developing nations around the world. Each item is handmade by artisans (many are women who belong to fair trade cooperatives) using natural materials, reflecting the countries in which they were made. Fair living wages are paid directly to the artisans, allowing them to obtain basic needs for themselves and their families including food, healthcare and education. Our sole mission is to help eradicate poverty by promoting the economic progress of people in these developing countries. We give all profits from our sales back to organizations that share our same vision. Since our beginning, we have donated over $250,000 to 40 organizations such as Bead for Life, Living Waters, Dining for Women, Amazima, Ghana Relief, Women's Bean Project, The Fistula Foundation, Friends of Refugees and Kiva (micro-loan projects).
