St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge

Come join us for the 31st birding/eating celebration of the New Year at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge this January 1, 2016. Meet us there or join up at 8 a.m. in the Christ Church parking lot to form a caravan. We'll see the many ducks, wading birds, and bald eagles that winter at St. Marks. Bring food to share for a noon picnic. In mid-afternoon we'll head to Wakulla Springs for a boat tour and hope to see manatees along with the many birds and gators there. We'll end the day with a seafood dinner at Spring Creek Restaurant. Come for all or part of the day. Call Phyllis Hiers (244-5942) for more information. |
Wednesday, January 6, 2016 |
The Wednesday night ladies bible study will begin a new 5 week class on January 6. We will be studying Priscilla Shirer's book, Breathe: Making Room for Sabbath. This study will help women learn to cease from activities and busyness and build margin into your life for God. It's a great way to prepare for Lent. For more information, email Tammy Borders or call 229-560-5889. Books are $9.99 + tax and will be distributed by Christmas or they can be purchased at Lifeway.
