Safeguarding God's Children Training: If you are a teacher, work with children or youth, are on vestry, or serve in other leadership positions in the church, you are required to take the Safeguarding Training.

SPARKS Meeting Tues., May 17, 10 a.m. AND 7:00 p.m. Room 8: We will enter, unarmed, into enemy territory - Medicare, with more parts than tere are notes in an octave, supplement plans, advantage plans, drug costs and enrollments.  We expect heavy casualties!  Being serious for a moment, this is a subject most important to us all for which the key time is year end. However, the requests for feedback on priorities put this one on the frontest burner. Discussion among friends will help set us up to understand what we see and read  on the subject and for some of us there may be moves we can make now.  Also, calling help lines and other research will be easier before the hectic enrollment period and set us up for that time of battle (sorry - just couldn't let go). Everyone will learn something from our various war stories and medals will be awarded. (the medals are of course round. They are also soft and soggy and have a hole in the middle) Be there or be square.  Foyers Groups: A new group is forming now and awaiting your participation. Please send an email to rankin@bellsouth.net or contact Diane at 404-277-5388 for additional information.
