Churches from across the Southeast Conference will join once again to march together in this year's Atlanta Pride parade. You are encouraged to wear UCC or UCC congregation t-shirts and carry signs showing our radical hospitality and inclusion.  If you are interested in participating in the parade please contact our volunteer coordinator from Kirkwood UCC - Erin Johnson -  or just show up at the parade organizing spot at Civic Center Marta station and look for UCC churches.  Kick off is at 1pm but if you run late just join in along the route down Peachtree to Piedmont Park at 10th street.

PICTORIAL DIRECTORY

Are you a new member who's trying to put faces with names?  Or a longtime member who's trying to put names with faces?  Either way, you'll be pleased to know that the Board of Deacons is making plans for a pictorial directory which we will publish ourselves.  Photos will be taken on Sundays in October; sign-up sheets are available.

Pre-school Sunday School

The preschool children can begin in Childcare during the early morning. They will be taken to Room 205 at 11:00 AM or you may take them to Room 205 any time between 11:00 AM and 12:10 PM. After 12:10 PM, the children will return to Childcare. Parents may pick up their children in Childcare at the end of church.

11:10 AM The Children are brought to Rm 207 for Godly Play.  

Children who arrive later than 11:10 AM will be brought to Room 207 by the Door Person when the story is finished. Because the story requires a focus of the storyteller and the children, we are requesting that children wait for the completion of the story before joining the others for the remainder of Godly Play time. Door Person will go to Room 201 after the story is told to invite other children to the class in Room 207. The children will return to Room 201 around 12:00-12:10pm. You may pick up your children in Room 201 following worship.

   YOUTH GATHERING    

WANTED: 

Retired men to attend monthly breakfast.

The Retired Men's Breakfast group meets in the fellowship hall every 3^rd Wednesday morning.  We offer a big country breakfast buffet, good fellowship, and a half hour entertaining or educational program.  Breakfast is served at 9:00 and the program starts at 9:30.  Our regulars are aging, and we have lost a significant number of them over the past few years while only a few younger, newly retired men have come on to take their place.  Consequently, the number of men attending and the number of helpers has dwindled to the point that the future of the activity is in jeopardy.   The next breakfast is on October 15.  Come and join us.  You will enjoy it, and you will be helping keep this 37 year traditional activity viable.

Sat., Oct. 11, 8:00 - 10:00pm;  

Doors open at 7:30 pm

8:00 :: Redwine Jam (Chris & Carol Moser)

9:00 :: Blackfoot Daisy (Don Sechelski, Wendy DuMond, Adam Sechelski) Find them on Facebook.

THCA gets a "Cool" grant from the Atlanta Community Food Bank

Toco Hill's Community Alliance has received a substantial grant from the Atlanta Community Food Bank.   These funds will be used to install a large walk in refrigerator and walk in freezer, similar in size to what a restaurant might use.  This will enable THCA to increase the amount of food distributed and the number of people served.  The focus will be on fresh food, such as fruits, vegetables and dairy. The additional freezer space gives the option of distributing large pieces of meat, such as turkeys at Thanksgiving, and freezing any excess food we might have for later use.  THCA continues to explore sources for fresh free food.  We offer free groceries to all who ask, so if you need food or know someone who does, come 1790 Lavista Rd, Monday-Thursday 1-4pm.  For more information, to volunteer or donate, contact  Mary Louise Wilson.
