Parish Bazaar - Just 1 Week 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 |

Blessing of Animals
|  Wednesday, October 3 @ 6:30pm
Our annual blessing of animals will take place this coming Wednesday, October 3 at 6:30pm. Bring you cats, dogs, turtles, guinea pigs... whatever pet you have (leashed or crated, please) for the annual pet blessing and Mass. We'll gather outside in the quad between the church and Sunday school cottages. In the event of inclement weather, we'll meet in the church. This event is a delight every year and reminder of the grace of God that fills our lives in so many ways. |

We're especially excited for the November weekend, since it will be led by our own Caroline Lamb! Space is limited and we expect this weekend to fill up quickly; so register early. The deadline to register is November 4 at midnight. Scholarships are available. To learn more about the weekend, click here. |

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.

You can sign up on Sunday mornings using the form in the bulletin or on the Welcome Table. We're also asking all current acolytes to fill out a form as well so we can keep our lists up to date.
