Food Pantry Outreach
| |
Don't forget to help stock the food pantries for those in need
June collections totaled 283 pounds, which was delivered to The Place in Forsyth County. Thank you for continuing your efforts in this critical outreach area. Continued strong donations during the summer months are appreciated because children being out of school during this time and not receiving meals at school place a heavier burden on their families. July's donations will be delivered to Emmaus House, our mission in Atlanta. Biggest needs are for canned soups and vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, and spaghetti sauce. Donation bins are located by the welcome table. Thank you for helping those in need who live in our community!

Meet & Mingle Update
|  Host Needed for 30 August Event
We are currently looking for a host for our Sunday, 30 August event. "Meet & Mingle" (formerly know as FEAST Group) is a gathering of 10-12 parishioners for a meal and fellowship. Those coming usually help by bringing one of the side-dishes or appetizers and the hosts usually provide the main dish. Of course it's always acceptable to attend even if you won't have time to prepare a dish to share. The fellowship is always the best part of the evening!
If you would like to host or co-host the dinner, or if you have questions regarding "Meet & Mingle" fellowship dinners, contact Sandra Sirmon (770) 844-4494 or Linda Williams (email link).
