5. Today begins the exhibit Sanctuary in the Glimpses of His Glory Gallery at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church. Sanctuary is the first exhibit of 2011. Sanctuary is defined as a sacred place, or a consecrated place where sacred things are kept.  A sanctuary can be a public venue or building where you go to worship God with others. A sanctuary can also be a quiet resting place where you spend time alone with the Lord. Public or private, we all visit these places to find sanctuary--to pray, to talk to God, to listen for His voice. Come enjoy this exhibit and the many places where we find sanctuary with our Lord. 955 Johnson Ferry Road. The gallery is located on the third floor of the church overlooking the beautiful Atrium area. The exhibit is open 9 a.m. - 10 p.m. For more information, call 770-973-6561.
