Men's Ministry Re-Organization Gathering April 9 OR April 10 Larry Hutson and Bill Parkinson invite all men of the parish to help re-organize the Knights of Columba, our men's fellowship group and ministry. The purpose of the meeting is to re-group and build a strong faith-based social, community service and outreach-focused group. If you are a male member of the church above the age of 21, congratulations, you are already a member of the Knights of Columba, and we would like to see you here. Our goal for the meeting is to come up with social activities, community service projects and a focus for our outreach efforts. The proposed dates are Thursday, April 9th and Friday April 10th, at 7 PM at Bill Parkinson's home: 5685 Habersham Valley, Suwanee, GA (in Olde Atlanta Club). Please indicate which date would fit your schedule better by replying to this email. If you can't make either date but would like to be part of the re-organization, please let me know that as well. We will finalize on the date that is the best fit for the most people, and work to bring anyone who cannot attend up to speed via email. Snacks will be provided, but please feel free to bring your favorite beverage. We are excited to see everyone in April.

Maundy Thursday Vigil Watch
| |
|
Will You Stay and Watch Just One Hour?
April 3 & 4
  One of the most moving devotions during Holy Week is keeping watch at the Altar of Repose following Maundy Thursday's Mass. Around the world, Christians will keep watch throughout the night at their parish church's Altar of Repose from the conclusion of Maundy Thursday Mass until the start of the liturgy on Good Friday. Jesus asked his disciples, "Will you stay and watch with me, even one hour?" They did and their lives would never be the same. Consider signing up to keep watch for one hour at the Altar of Repose this year. It will make your Easter more than you ever thought it could be! You can sign up on the sign up sheet at the Welcome Table on Sunday morning, or by clicking the link below and signing up online. Our goal is to have each hour filled with at least one parishioner throughout the night (as many as would like can sign up for any of the time slots). A deputy sheriff will be on duty throughout the night.

Outreach Food Pantry

Help Support Our Local Food Pantries This Winter
Food pantry donations for 2015 in February were only 131 pounds - quite disappointing. We need to get back on track in March so we can continue to provide local families with the vital necessities they so desperately need. We will be providing March's donations of non-perishable food to The Place of Forsyth County, collecting food each week leading up to the 3rd Sunday of the month (March 15th - Breakfast Sunday), which is the official collection day for the month. Biggest needs are canned soups and vegetables, canned pasta (ravioli, Beefaroni, etc), canned fruit, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, and anything that can be stored for a long period of time. Donations can be placed in the tubs located next to the welcome table in the narthex - no glass bottles, please! Please begin or continue to help in this effort to assist local families in need - thank you!
