Annual Banquet Raises More Than $65,000

By: Ali Metcalf

On Tuesday, April 17, 2018, over 450 people from various communities gathered together to celebrate The Joy House at its annual banquet. Founded by Pickens County native Steve Lowe, The Joy House is a local non-profit that has provided Christ-centered restorative care for struggling teens, families, and individuals since 2001.

The weather was perfect as guests made their way to SharpTop Cove—a Young Life Camp to enjoy hors d-oeuvres on the grounds prior to the program’s beginning inside The Mill at 6:30 p.m.  Entertained by beautiful piano music played by a talented Joy House resident, Christina, guests enjoyed a delicious spread served by Joy House residents and local high school volunteers.

Counselor's Corner - What's in Your Center?

By: Bill Wattenbarger, PhD

If Scripture were to be reduced to a single sentence, I would choose, “God is real and does stuff.”

Because God is real he must be taken seriously. While jewelry in a box is real, God is not jewelry nor is He in a box. God is alive and well, everywhere and always.  His reality is not something we decide. He does not exist because we say so. God exists even if we do not.  And if God does not exist, neither do we.

Now, that sounds so very philosophical but it is fundamental. What makes the reality of God so compelling is that He is endlessly busy, everywhere and always. God knows what is happening and chooses to be involved by His own rules.
