| Parents Night Out - TOMORROW |
 THIS Friday, October 14
6:30 - 9:30 pm
Beginning this Friday, October 14, our Youth Group resumes hosting Parents' Night Out for children ages 1 through 11. Our Middle and High School EYC provide all the activities for the evening. The movie we'll show will be ZOOTOPIA and so the theme will be "animals." Children are welcome to bring a favorite stuffed animal or toy and wear animal themed clothes or pajamas. There will be games, popcorn and snacks, crafts, and the movie. Adult chaperones are on hand to assist the Youth Group with supervision and setting up activities. This program was wonderfully successful last year and so we're excited for it to resume next week.
The cost is $25 for the first child and $10 each for additional children and covers the three hour program, and all proceeds go towards the Youth Mission Trip next summer.
Adults interested in helping as chaperones should contact Nathan Martin (click here). A sign up sheet is at the Welcome Table, or you can call the parish office to register. You can come at the last minute without registering, however pre-registration helps us prepare food and supplies for the correct number of children. |

| Family Promise Host Week |
October 30 - November 6
Our first host week for Family Promise is just two weeks away. We will set up dedicated spaces for the families who will be staying at St. Columba's each night during the week of October 30. Guests arrive around 5:00 pm each evening and leave by 7:00 am each morning. If you are interested in helping with this outreach ministry, please contact Missy Thompson or Kathleen Kraynick for more details (click here).
Volunteers provide a meal in the evening, continental breakfast in the morning, serve as an overnight host, and help set up/breakdown the living spaces at the beginning and end of the week.
We are so blessed to be one of the 12 sponsoring churches from Forsyth County of Family Promise. Thank you to Kathleen Kraynick and Missy Thompson for coordinating this life-giving ministry!
** The dedicated spaces we set up will be restricted for their use only during the week they are here. So other events and ministries may need to relocate to other areas that week. If you have any questions, please speak with Father Tripp.
