Roadside Clean-Up
| This Saturday, November 17 at 11:30 am
The Middle School EYC is challenging the rest of the parish to join them for a clean-up of our portion of James Burgess Road that we've adopted through the Keep Forsyth Beautiful Program. While the Senior High EYC is away at Camp Mikell for their retreat, the Middle school EYC invites everyone in the parish to meet at the church for our clean up outing. We'll gather at 11:30 and then clean the portion of James Burgess from Old Atlanta Road to the Turnberry subdivision. Give a few hours of your time for this community service outreach project! |

Angel Tree Ministry for Christmas
| Now Through December 9
This year we will be supporting 5 families in need in our local community, through the ministry of Faith House, by providing gifts and clothing for Christmas. We will also provide toys for the children of Emmaus House in downtown Atlanta. Everyone's support is greatly needed for these two wonderful Christmas outreach projects. All gifts should be returned no later than 12n on Sunday, December 9.
As you pick an ornament off the Angel Tree in the lobby by the main entrance of the church, be sure to follow carefully the instructions for signing up and wrapping and labeling your gifts as you return them. If you have any questions, contact Betsy Skalet at skalle@att.net |
