Outreach Bookmarks to Benefit Family Promise Do you need a quick gift?  Please check out the  bookmarks  for sale in the church entryway that benefit St. Columba's efforts with Family Promise.  They are only $5 each and make wonderful Mother's Day or End of Year Teacher gifts. They are packaged on a sturdy card that shares with the gift recipient why this is a "gift that gives back."  >> Our next host week for Family Promise is May 7-13

Food Pantry Outreach Ministry Thanks to all who continue each month with essential food pantry donations!  We provided 312 pounds of food to The Place of Forsyth County from our February collection.  They were extremely grateful as they were completely out of peanut butter.  We will provide March donations to The Place as well.  Food is collected every Sunday leading up to the 3rd Sunday of the Month which is the official "ingathering."  Hearty soups, canned or boxed milk, canned pasta are the items most needed.  Other needs include canned vegetables and fruit, spaghetti sauce and peanut butter.  Place donations in the bins at the main entrance to the church.  Many thanks for your ongoing support!

BRace for a Cure 5k Fun Run Cancer is something that has affected all of us in one way or another, and childhood cancer is among the most heart-breaking.  Phelan-Dempsey Orthodontics (parishioner Meredith Dempsey is owner) has put together their 3rd annual 5K road race with a 1 mile fun run to help raise money for children's cancer awareness and to help find a cure.  The race is Saturday, April 29 at 7:30 am at Bogan Park.  All proceeds benefit CURE Childhood Cancer in Atlanta, a nonprofit cancer research foundation dedicated to finding cures for childhood cancer. >> CLICK HERE to donate or register online.
