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. Questions? Contact
Coleman Graham
or
Fr. Jenkins.

RECTOR'S FORUM
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.

Creation Care Guided Tour of Heggie's Rock
Saturday, October 12, 9:30 AM
The Creation Care team invites you to another special guided tour of Heggie's Rock Saturday, October 12, 9:30
AM. Space is limited to 12 people, and RSVP required. Due to the popularity of our April excursion, we're offering another opportunity for those unable to attend previously.
RSVP and questions to Nancy Cercy.
Heggie's Rock is a spectacular granite outcrop spreading over 60 acres and rising 100 feet high, in Columbia County. Saint Paul's will have a private guided tour, which will last over two hours. This natural wonder is noted for its unusually high diversity of plant and animal life because it includes a dry outcrop, forests and beaver-impounded streams. The granite outcrop, Heggie's Rock, dominates. It is here you see exposed granite, lichen and moss covered rock, soil islands and the beautiful vernal pools, or dish gardens, which support rare and unusual plants. Heggie's Rock is owned, preserved and protected by The Nature Conservancy of Georgia.
Participants must be able to walk 2+ miles on uneven terrain, and bring your own water and hat, etc. There are no facilities. More info on the preserve here.
