The Anglican Way: Exploring Our Faith
Each Sunday in February & March | 10:10-11:00 am
A JOURNEY THROUGH THEOLOGY, HISTORY & PRACTICE OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Beginning February 5, we'll embark on a ten week adult confirmation class for anyone who wishes to be baptized, confirmed, or received into The Episcopal Church. This class is designed for those who are new to the Episcopal Church as well as for long-time members who want a refresher in the way we worship and what our liturgy conveys about our ancient faith. The class provides an opportunity to get to know other parishioners and ways to become involved in the life of our parish. We will meet in the chapel. The class is open to all adults and youth in 9th grade and up.
For those desiring to be confirmed or received, Confirmation Mass will take place at the Cathedral of St. Philip on Sunday, April 2 at 4:00 pm.
** Realizing that this is spring break for many, we are exploring an additional date for confirmation for those who are not in town on April 2.

Pot Luck Dinner for
Men of the Parish
Saturday, 4 February @ 6pm
All men of the parish are invited to come to a Pot-Luck dinner as we prepare for our Butts for the Bowl. The main dish (meat) will be provided, just bring side dishes to share (slaw, beans, buns, chips, salads, desserts). If you can help with the Butts for the Bowl, you'd be most welcome; but come to the Pot Luck no matter if you can help with the Butts for the Bowl this weekend or not.

12:00 - 12:30 Praying the Rosary
12:30 - 1:30 Bible Study
1:30 - 2:00 English Tea
Join us on Thursdays to Grow in Faith and enjoy the fellowship of three different small groups! Come for one, some, or all of the Thursday opportunities.
If you're looking for a chance to grow your prayer life, Praying the Rosary is a good place to begin.
Mid-day Bible Study is a time to get more out of Scripture. Our
weekly Bible Study is a comprehensive exploration of the Bible as a whole and its meanings for life today. Each week we trace related stories and events through both Old and New Testaments.
Thursdays wrap up with a delightful English Tea and wonderful fellowship. Cucumber sandwiches, savory treats, and of course Earl Grey - please join us.
All are welcome!

Mah Jongg
Join the Mah Jongg group that meets every Tuesday from 1-3pm. All are welcome - no experience necessary. Contact Gail Koch for details, or call the parish office.
Food Pantry Ministry
As you do your weekly grocery shopping, don't forget our food pantry outreach ministry. We provide food for The Place in Forsyth and Emmaus House in Atlanta. Last year, we provided over 3,700 pounds of food to those in need. That brings our total up to 15,000 pounds since we began this ministry!
Drivers to help deliver to Emmaus House are needed - if you can deliver the food just once or twice a year, that would be a huge help. Contact Ron or Kathleen Kraynick for more information.
