"For Faith" Bishop Wright's Weekly Devotional

Worship Schedule

    It's back!  The Knights of Columba will again this year be smoking Boston Pork Butts for the Super Bowl.
    Planning a Super Bowl party?  Want to eat on February 2 but just not want to cook?  No matter the occasion, the Knights have you covered!  You can order a 10-12lb Boston Pork Butt that will be smoked to perfection!  It will be securely packaged and ready for you to pick up between 10am and 2pm on Sunday, February 2.  The cost is $40 if you order before 1/27.  After the 27th, the cost increases to $45 and will be available for order as long as supplies last.  Each order comes with a choice of barbeque sauces.  All proceeds benefit the ministries of the Knights of Columba. 

  Back by popular demand, our EYC will once again be hosting a St. Paddy's celebration and dinner gala at the church!  It will be an evening of delicious traditional Irish food:  corned beef hash, brisket, cabbage, potato soup, and soda bread.  Of course there will be "traditional Irish beverages and lucky green solo cups!"  Members of the EYC will provide a wonderful assortment of music throughout the meal.  Space is limited - so register early!  The cost is $20 per person ($10 for children 10 and under) if you register by 3/9.  This is a fun evening but also a very important fundraiser for the EYC summer mission trip.

     Theology on Tap will meet on Friday, January 31 at 7pm at Quanto Basta (280 Buford Highway, Cumming, GA).  Theology on Tap is a fellowship group open to all adults in the parish and they meet at nearby restaurants generally on the last Friday of the month.  Contact Dani and Jason Startt for more information. 

      Looking to join a small group where you can develop close friendships and grow in your faith as you share a meal together? Then Feast Groups is for you. The spring/summer session sign ups begin in January. There will be a Social on Saturday, February 15, 6:30 pm at church to get acquainted with your group. Then from March till September you will get together with your group (about 6 times) to share a meal.
     The groups are limited to about 8 to 10 people, with both couples and singles included. You may choose to belong to a Home, Restaurant, or Family Group. Within each group everyone takes a turn being the host. With Home or Family Groups the host provides the menu and main dish. The Home or Family Group host coordinates with the others to bring the rest so no one has to prepare a complete meal! With Restaurant Groups, the host decides at which restaurant they will meet.
     The Groups will, as always, be shuffled again after this session. Next September, we will have sign ups for the fall/winter Feast Group session. Please sign up at the Welcome Table of email Sandra Sirmon at smsirmon@bellsouth.net.

      Did you get a new winter coat for Christmas this year?  Have an extra coat in your closet?  It's obvious to everyone that this is another very cold one.  Please help us bring warmth to those in need by bringing in new or gently used coats for donation to Emmaus House.  Coats for adults and children in all sizes are needed.  We will have a box for donations located in the narthex through 2/2. 
     Thanks very much for your generosity
