WEAVING GOD'S PROMISES
Location: The First Classroom in CMC
Our bigger children will immerse themselves in an Episcopal formation experience rooted in the stories of our faith as presented in John's Gospel. In this second of a three-year cycle, our children focus on
stories of individual encounters with Jesus, transformation in God's love, and the saints of the church. Our theme in this curriculum year is "Once we were no people, but now we are God's people." Every session incorporates theology and history from our Episcopal-Anglican perspective.

GODLY PLAY
Location: The Godly Play Room
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.

HELP WANTED
Tuesday's Music Live Volunteers
Tuesday's Music Live, America's largest luncheon concert series, is celebrating its 32nd season. The free noon concerts regularly attract standing-room-only audiences and often more than 200 patrons stay to enjoy lunch in the River and Berlin Rooms. Corporations, foundations, and individuals pay for the cost of the musicians and the lunch receipts pay for the caterer and labor expenses. Julia Vagovic coordinates a team of volunteers who assist with the lunch operation. Some volunteers work for an hour (from 3-4 pm) on the Monday afternoon before the concert. All the tables are dressed with linens, crockery, and tableware. On the morning of the program volunteers begin arriving at 10:30 am to take the plated food to the tables. During the lunch the volunteers circulate among tables, often greeting patrons, many of whom have been coming for years. Georgia State Floral donates flowers and volunteers arrange them. Saint Paul's Church hosts the series which attracts almost 5,000 people annually. All of this makes possible a very successful program that brings thousands to Saint Paul's Church annually. If you'd like to learn more about becoming a Tuesday's Music Live volunteer please be in touch with Artistic Director, Keith Shafer,
(706) 724-2585 ext 215, or Food Service Coordinator, Julia Vagovic,
(706) 533-3619
