Diocesan Youth Gathering
Filled To Be Emptied
Saturday, 29 August @ 10am - 5pm

     On August 29, a Diocesan Youth Day Retreat: Filled to be Emptied will be hosted at at All Saints' Church in A  tlanta (near Georgia Tech). The retreat will begins at 10am and ends at 5pm. The cost is only $5 per person and includes lunch. 

     We will join with teenagers from parishes around our diocese  as we take a deeper look into why we are called to serve in the name of Christ, and what it means for us to reach out into our communities.  

     There will be fellowship, guest speakers, music, 

lunch, a local service project, programming for young adults, and a special time for Youth Workers. Bishop Wright will also be with us for part of the day, and of course ... there everyone gets a t-shirt!

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!

Holy Oldies Summer Party
Saturday, 15 August @ 6:30 pm
      Mark your calendars for the next Holy Oldies Party which will be held at Aberdeen Clubhouse.  If you and/or your spouse are 50+ you're warmly invited to come for an evening of good food, fellowship, and fun.  Simply bring an appetizer to share and your preferred beverage.  There is a $5/person donation to cover the cost of the rental, soft drinks, and cake.  A sign up sheet is at the Welcome Table.
