Saturday, October 20, 8:00-10:00 AM

Now that fall is arriving it's time to dig up the summer annuals in the triangle between the church and chapel and replace them with pansies and dianthus for the upcoming cold season. We also need to install pine straw after the planting has been completed. Are you available to help from 8-10 AM on Saturday, October 20? If so, please email Keith Shafer  or call him at (706) 724-2485 x 215. The work on the 20th will dress up the triangle just in time for the 125th anniversary celebration of the Augusta Town Committee of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Georgia which is being held at Saint Paul's on Thursday, October 25. They are coming to dedicate the Franklinia Altamaha that was planted several weeks ago that replaces the previous tree that died.

CHILDREN

WEAVING GOD'S PROMISES -- Ages 8-11 or Grades 3 - 5

Leader: Coleman Graham and company

Location: Blue Room, Children's Ministries Center

Our bigger children will immerse themselves in an Episcopal formation experience rooted in the stories of our faith as presented in Matthew's Gospel. In this first of a three-year cycle, our children encounter the story of our salvation from the fall to our redemption and how we fit into the story. Our theme in this curriculum year is "God loves us and stays with us-no matter what." Every session incorporates theology and history from our Episcopal-Anglican perspective. Questions??? Contact Coleman Graham or Fr. John.

GODLY PLAY -- 4s to 8, Kindergarten thru 2nd grade

Location: Godly Play Room, Children's Ministry Center

We take children and their relationship with God seriously and seek to provide both space to foster encounters with God and the language necessary to make meaning of those experiences. Within the Godly Play classroom, the Biblical narrative is lovingly presented to children using beautiful materials with an invitation to step into each story with awe and wonder. Children are then allowed time to respond to and reflect on their experience of the story.
