Church Email Problems

The church email host made a change to their system at the first of the year, which has caused a problem with some emails not coming through to the @christchurchvaldosta.org accounts.  

 

If you continue to receive "bounced" email messages about emails being undelivered to any of the church email accounts (Dave, Kim, Amy or Angela), please forward the complete "bounced" email message to Julius Ariail.  He is in contact with our email host, and the data in a bounced message has code that our host can use to rectify our problem.  

 

If there is something that you need immediate assistance with, please contact the church office via telephone at 242-5115.

 

Thank you for your understanding and patience while we have this problem corrected.

It's time to get together to finish our Purple Cap project and to plan for our 2015 stitching.

 

Let's meet on Sunday, January 25th at 4 pm in the Parish Hall. 

 

Please bring any purple baby caps that you have finished so that we can have them blessed and then distributed to the SGMC Nursery. 

 

Prior to the meeting, be thinking about how you would like to see the Stitchers minister to our community through handmade woolies.   If you cannot make the meeting, just send me an email with your thoughts.

 

See you on the 25th....and bring a friend!  Remember, we have great knitting and crochet teachers!
