|
This Sunday, March 17
@
5:30-7:30 pm
 We have had overwhelming response to the first parish St. Patrick's Day Dinner & Celebration. Many thanks to Todd Reid, Dale Humphries, Lorraine Ferguson, Easton Davis, and our entire Youth Group and their parents for all the hard work they have put into planning and preparing for this Sunday's dinner. As of yesterday, we have sold all available seats for the evening. However, if you'd like to be put on a waiting list in case any seats open up, please email Easton Davis (click here).
The evening will be filled with delicious Irish dishes, lots of fellowship, and musical offerings by members of our youth group. It will be an incredible night. All proceeds will benefit the youth group mission trip this summer. Click Here for more details on the dinner.

Experiencing the Mystery of God
Prayer, Worship, Silence, &Song
Wednesday Evenings at 6:30 pm
 This year our Wednesday program will take on a slightly different style. Instead of a class on spirituality or faith which has been the centerpiece of our Wednesday nights in previous years, we will instead have the opportunity to experience different ways of praying. Stations of the Cross will be a regular component of each Wednesday, but each week it will have another liturgy that will allow us to experience other types of prayer and devotion from the rich liturgical heritage of our Church.

Backpacks of Love - New Outreach Ministry
|
St. Columba's is starting participation in an additional food  outreach program, Backpacks of Love, which serves children and their families who are either homeless or in severe need - whose only meals are often the free or reduced cost breakfast and lunch they receive at school. In Forsyth county alone, this equates to 8,100 students, a 52% increase in the number of children in the free/reduced cost school lunch program since 2008! Backpacks of Love addresses these food insecurity issues by supplying food for the child and their family to have over the weekend through a backpack the child takes home from school. Backpack 'sponsors' shop for the food from a prepared list. Sponsors pick up empty backpacks from church on Saturday night or Sunday morning and then drop off filled backpacks back at church within the following 10 days. Please contact Ron & Kathleen Kraynick at (770) 888-5145 or via email more information or to sign up to participate as a backpack sponsor. There is also a sign-up sheet in the narthex. Thanks very much for your participation! |
Saturday, March 23
Our next parish workday will take place just before Palm Sunday. We'll spruce up the grounds for Easter and plant spring annuals. In addition, we will be working inside doing a spring cleaning for our Easter Masses. All are welcome. Join us for an hour or a morning as we prepare with joy for the Paschal Feast!
