Flower Guild - vases needed

Each week our Flower Guild visits and delivers flowers to shut-ins, or members who are sick or in the hospital. The flowers they deliver are from our Sunday Altar arrangement.
The Flower Guild needs some medium size vases (no bud vases).
If you would like to donate some medium size vases to the Flower Guild, they can be dropped off at the church office, or brought to church on Sunday morning and placed on the counter in the kitchen. Thank you for your support of this important ministry. |

Planning Page for 2017 DR Trip
|
|
A webpage with planning information about our 2017 Dominican Republic mission team is now available at the link below. We are thinking about making a major change in our flights. Rather than flying from Orlando on JetBlue, there is a possibility that we might fly from Valdosta to Atlanta and then on to Santo Domingo. Details are in the flight section on the planning page. No decision has been made yet, and do not purchase flight tickets now. More detailed information will be available by November 1.
The deadline to join the 2017 "Go Team" is December 1, 2016. If you are interested in applying, contact Julia or Julius Ariail at juliacariail@gmail.com.

| February 23, 2017 - Save the Date! |

For more information, contact Julia Ariail at juliacariail@gmail.com.

Dear Christ Church Family,
Thank you for the beautiful altar flowers that Ann brought to our home after the death of Jerry's precious sister, Emily.
Emily was a bright shining star in our family and her light reflected from our Lord Jesus Christ. She is with HIM now.
Our church family has always been with us in our sad and joyful times. We are so blessed by you and by God's love.
Many thanks with love,
Judy and Jerry DeMott
