Fifth Sunday of Lent
Thus says the Lord GOD: O my people, I will open your graves and have you rise from them, and bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and have you rise from them, O my people! I will put my spirit in you that you may live, and I will settle you upon your land; thus you shall know that I am the LORD. I have promised, and I will do it, says the LORD.

Volunteer News

Please consider volunteering as a buddy for the Miracle League. They are looking for buddies for all their special needs chil dren so they can play baseball.
Miracle League:
The Miracle League at Town & Country is a league for special needs children that allows them to play baseball. The Miracle League was started in Conyers, Georgia in 1998. The Miracle League at Town & Country began play in the Spring of 2006, and has had Spring and Fall seasons ever since!
Buddy:
Each player will have at least one "buddy" at each game. This buddy is there to protect the player from balls, assist the player in batting and running the bases and to be a friend on the field. Considering the availability and amount of Buddies, they will be assigned to the same team for the whole season. Buddies will be given a Miracle League shirt for their participation. They are required to arrive at games thirty minutes before the start of the game and to notify the Miracle League Buddy coordinator at least twenty-four hours prior to the game if they will not be able to make the game. Buddies start at age 12. We ask that each Buddy make the Miracle League a priority and comply with our Game Sign Up system.
Volunteer Opportunity!
