       If you or your spouse are over 50+, please join us for an evening of good food, fellowship and fun on Saturday, November 21 at 6:30 pm at the Aberdeen Clubhouse.  Bring an appetizer to share and your preferred beverage.  There is a $5.00 per person charge to cover the clubhouse rental, soft drinks, and cake.  A sign up sheet is at the Welcome Table.  For more information, contact Linda Sammons at 678-513-5046.  

We all enjoy our Krispy Kreme and coffee each Sunday.  There are currently 3 teams that work together to make sure those treats are there and are served with a smile and conversation.  Unfortunately we do not have enough to fill up each of the teams we need to cover the full month of Sunday coffee hour.  Volunteers serve only once a month and before or after the Mass you ordinarily attend each week.  Krispy Kreme donuts are provided, and the team members divide up the other items to provide (juice, coffee cream, fruit, or other goodie).  We are especially short handed on the 4th Sunday of each month, but all teams would welcome additional volunteers.

     If you have any questions or if you would like to join a coffee host team, contact Wendy Lambert via email or at church any Sunday morning.  

     We're taking the children of Rainbow Village on a shopping trip to Walmart on Monday, December 12 from 2:00-3:30 pm, to purchase Christmas presents for their moms.  Please help with this wonderful outreach!  Pick up a Rainbow Village Envelope from the Golden Tree in the Narthex.  Return the envelope to the Church by November 22 with a $25 gift Walmart Gift Card (or cash/check for $25 "Checks payable to St. Columba's earmarked "RV Children Shopping" on the memo line).

    To help with the actual shopping, sign up on the sheet beside the Golden Tree and meet us at the Walmart located at 2395 Peachtree Parkway, on December 12 at 2:00 pm.  You will volunteer to either guide a child around and help them shop or you will be stationed in a department.  The children come with a prepared shopping list, so you simply help them get the item(s) on their list.  

      For more information or if you have any questions, contact Linda Reid (via email).

     Want to help feed a child whose family does not have enough money to buy food on the weekends when children are out of school?  You can make a difference in the lives of the increasing number of people who live in the what is now called a "life of food insecurity."  These families are right in our community.  In Forsyth County alone, estimates are that over 8,100 children live lives of food insecurity.  

     This Sunday there will be a special insert in the bulletin about how you can help by providing a backpack of love, filled with simple food items that help families feed their children through the weekend.  Please join our group of volunteers and help eliminate food insecurity in our community!
