| The difference it makes for me. |
The late patriarch of the local Scavullo family, Charles Sr., would carry a small notebook and pen with him everywhere. Throughout his day, when he encountered anything to pray for, he'd write it down. Each night, he'd ask God to bless, forgive, heal, grant peace, guide, give thanks... for up to 100 people, most of them strangers. Learning this made me realize I needed a disciplined prayer plan beyond the occasional "thank God" or a Jesus-take-the-wheel petition. Answered prayers aren't like winning lottery tickets but rather streetlamps on our journey to be closer to God. The support of my DoK sisters keeps me on the right path. I pray to do that for
them in return.
FHS,
Catherine

| Christian Formation This Sunday |
April 22 |
 Opening our Prayer Book - Adult Christian Formation,
Sunday, 9:30-10:30 AM, Berlin Room, Clergy led
The Book of Common Prayer is not just another book nor simply a collection of prayers...
it is a bold expression of how Episcopalians envision God and a means for shaping and renewing the entirety of our Christian lives. We will discuss the full range of resources in the BCP and how to use them. If you have your own BCP, bring it; if not, we will have copies for your use; in either event, bring your curiosity and the questions you always have wanted to ask about the BCP, our prayers, and liturgy.

My Faith - My Life -- grades 6-12
Youth Formation held in the Youth Room, Upstairs Parish House. But first, breakfast to get the morning going!
|
 SPARK -- Ages 8-10 or grades 3-5
Location: Room #1, Children's Ministries Center
Our older children will again immerse themselves in SPARK, where they will work with the same themes and Scripture that we all encounter in common worship. Every lesson follows a four-part pattern: Gather, Open the Bible, Activate Faith, and Send. Week after week, the children and their leaders gather together, explore the Scriptures, enjoy one another's company, pray, and discover God's presence in their midst. |
 Godly Play -- Ages 4-7
Location: Room #2 Children's Ministry Center
ALL children inherently know God, but it is up to us to give them the language of the Christian faith so they can grow to make meaning of our faith in their own lives. Godly Play is a profound method rooted in Montessori principles that forms child spirituality by attending to their natural gifts for wonder and discovery. |
Veterans' Ice Cream Social RESCHEDULED
Our quarterly ice cream social, originally scheduled for Sunday afternoon, has been rescheduled by the GA War Veterans Nursing Home. A new date will be confirmed.
