Manna Pantry

Saturday, September 19, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Manna Pantry is a ministry that provides food to 130 families and individuals throughout the year. Friday volunteers help unload the truck, arrange tables, assemble boxes, open and sort items, and box food for persons who will need special assistance the next day. Saturday volunteers will greet and check in guests, then fill their boxes as they move them along the tables cafeteria-style. Some volunteers are needed to assist persons by carrying their loaded boxes to their cars. This is a good ministry for adults, teens, and older children with parents. For more information contact Anita Tanner or by telephone (706) 993-5720.

The Adult Forum
"The Episcopal Church - General Convention - & Me" located in the Chapel
Led by The Reverend George Muir, this class will discuss the actions of the 78th General Convention, and its implications for the Episcopal Church and us individually. (The General Convention is the governing body of The Episcopal Church that meets every three years.)
Family Foundation (parents)
"Who do you say that I am?" - located in the Children's Ministry Center
Do we really need Jesus today when we have Google? Doesn't Google have the answer for everything? Join us on Sunday morning as we seek to know this person called Jesus. Who is the Messiah? What was he like? Who was the first to recognize Jesus when he began his ministry? Did Jesus ever turn away anyone who sought to be a disciple? Family Foundations is a Sunday morning Bible study for parents focusing on the Gospel lessons of the current lectionary cycle. This sequential study places the weekly readings from our Sunday worship into a full narrative of the core teachings of Jesus. The class provides a background and context for the beginning of a personal faith journey and a "foundation" for our families' faith, while connecting parents at Saint Paul's.
Youth (Grades 9-12)
The Parlor
We are excited about the changes in the Youth Christian Formation Program. This year The Reverend John Jenkins is leading a class for high school students.
Youth (Grades 6-8)
Upstairs parish house - Room A
Our youth will begin a new curriculum which focuses on BEING Christian rather than just talking ABOUT Christianity, and at the end of the multi-year program the youth themselves decide whether they are ready for the Rite of Confirmation.
(Grades 3-5)
F.I.S.H. room in the Children's Ministry Center
Children (Grades 1-2)
Kids of the Kingdom room in the Children's Ministry Center
Children (Age 3-K) -
First Steps in Faith room (across from the nursery) in Children's Ministry Center
All three classes use a curriculum called Spark which follows our Sunday Lectionary Lessons. The program is designed to help families and children make connections between Sunday school, church, and home. Classes are separated by age with age appropriate lessons and activities.
Parents are provided a Family Connection Sheet each week with ideas to talk about during the week. Children's worship bulletins for readers and early readers are also available.

Dear Saint Paul's family,
Next weekend we will welcome 3,000 athletes from all over the world and their family and friends to our church neighborhood. The Augusta Ironman 70.3 kicks off next door to Saint Paul's and gives us a unique opportunity to open our doors and show others the love and hospitality that we have in our church home.
Our Saint Paul's Ironman events will begin on Saturday night with our annual Saint Paul's/TriAugusta Pasta dinner at 5:30 PM. If you would like to volunteer as a server or to greet and welcome guests, we welcome your participation. Our church doors will be opened at 5 AM on race day, Sunday, September 27, to provide hospitality to athletes and race spectators. Please make plans to come to church a little early and enjoy the fun. Come by the River Room and give our guests a warm Saint Paul's welcome!
After the 11 AM service, we invite you to walk over to Broad Street and join us at our Saint Paul's Cheer Station (exact location to be announced). We will be there throughout the afternoon cheering on the athletes as they complete the last leg of their event, the run. We have a number of athletes from Saint Paul's participating in the race so this is your chance to help encourage your fellow parishioners and the other athletes as they head toward the finish line!
We look forward to seeing you next weekend! If you would like additional information about how you can be involved, please contact Kim Butler or (706)833-8541. |
