Homeschool Ministry
We will begin our school year on Friday, September 1st, with Mass and potluck following Mass in La Salette Hall! Please contact Tiffany Gokey at 678-918-
0566 or
tyffyny56@gmail.com
with the dish you plan on sharing. We are looking forward to the start of the school year!
Please join us this fall as we study the Book of Acts. We will learn of the trials and tribulations of our earliest church founders. In our previous studies we have made new friends, laughed, cried, and learned from the scriptures. This has been a journey to deepen our faith with the love, support, and wisdom of others. I hope you will join us as I know your life will be enriched by it as mine has been. There will be 3 different times you may choose from: Tuesday mornings at 9:30 am, Friday night at 7:00 pm and Sunday night at 5:00 pm. The studies will begin the middle of September. For more information please call Paul Eberhard at 770-881-0132 or Peggy Fritz at 404-444-5017.
