DR Auction Thank You!
A Great Success
Thank you to all who participated in the Dominican Night Auction and Dinner Thursday evening at the Cotton Corner. As the "Home Team" you are fabulous supporters of our church's mission work in the Dominican Republic. While the final total of the funds we raised won't be available until next week, we are sure that we have many scholarships to offer the children of El Pedregal for the 2015-2016 academic year. The 20 members of the 2015 "Go Team" appreciate your support and enthusiasm for this outreach mission.

Julius Ariail in the DR
April 19-29, 2015
Julius leaves tomorrow for the DR to work with the Dominican diocesan staff on the development of a new website and to visit and photograph three work sites where other mission teams from the Diocese of Georgia are active. In his checked baggage, he will be taking a sewing machine designated for our team's work site at the Episcopal camp in El Pedregal. If this sewing machine transport is successful, then our team will take more machines this summer to add sewing to our traditional knitting/crocheting ministry. He will also spend several days with leaders of the Dominican Development Group and five veteran missioners from Michigan to learn more about strategies of project development as they visit several potential work sites in the Episcopal Diocese of the Dominican Republic.

Lunch Bunch

Lunch Bunch will meet this Saturday at 11:00 a.m. in the Parish Hall. There is a volunteer sign-up sheet located in the Parish Hall.  Please plan to join us on a Saturday.
Youth Events in Diocese
Spring Rally 
May 1 - May 3, 2015
Spring Rally is our next big event happening May 1-3 at Honey Creek.  This event is open to all 6th-12th graders.  Our theme is Heros, but this is not your ordinary superheroes weekend.  We will go deeper into the mission of the church and what we are called to do as young people in the church.  During the weekend, we will talk about what it takes to be a hero, what is our hero's code for following Christ, how to start a movement, and so much more. Participants will also get to share input into next years youth programs. Register for Spring Rally

Our Junior and Middle School EYC groups are collecting hotel/sample sized toiletries which they will bag and send to The Haven for their clients. There will be a collection bin in the Parish Hall. Thank you so much for helping our youth do God's work in our community!
