Parish Bazaar - 2 Weeks Away!!
|  Friday & Saturday, October 5 & 6
Mark your calendars now ... tell all your neighbors and friends about St. Columba's Fall Bazaar! There will be baked goods, jewelry, used furniture, books, crafts, Christmas gifts, and the good ole "Junk for Jesus" rummage sale. Other commercial vendors will have booths and displays set up as well. The weekend will be catered by Shane's Rib Shack (eat at the church or take to-go meals home with you). A recent addition will even have Kroger Pharmacy providing Flu vaccinations in one of the cottages if you'd like to get your flu shot conveniently while you're attending the bazaar.
If you have furniture or rummage sale items to drop off, a secure storage bin has been set up on site. Contact Father Tripp or Jim Lambert to schedule delivery (you can also bring it with you to Mass on Saturday evening or Sunday mornings).
WHEN Friday Evening - 4pm - 7pm
Saturday - 9am-6pm
---------------------------------------
Do you have a home-based business? Do you know someone who does? If so, we would love for YOU to join us! We are seeking Independent Consultants for vendors such as Thirty-One, Stella and Dot, Scenty, Pampered Chef, and Tupperware, to name a few. We also encourage vendors who create hand-made, hand-crafted products or artwork? For further information or to reserve a booth, please contact Dani Startt at danistartt@yahoo.com or 678-520-3703.

Evensong for Bishop Alexander
|  Sunday, September 30 at 4:00 pm
A Choral Evensong liturgy will be offered in thanksgiving for the ministry of the Rt. Rev. J. Neil Alexander at 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 30, at the Cathedral of St. Philip. All people of the diocese are invited to participate in the liturgy and a reception that follows in Child Hall. St. Columba's will be one of the parish choirs singing at this festive evensong.
Bishop Alexander steps down as our Diocesan Bishop in October after 11 years of service as the ninth bishop of the Diocese of Atlanta. The celebration will include a special guest preacher, the performance of a choral anthem commissioned for the event, and, during the reception, the unveiling of a portrait of Bishop Alexander.
