NEW Sale Idea of the Week:

Puzzles, games, and toys. This includes baby rattles, crib mobiles, cars, trucks, stuffed animals, dolls etc. Legos will always be the first thing to sell. Puzzles of all varieties are good. 8 piece wooden ones for the toddler up to 1,000 pieces for people who love the challenge. Games are great sellers, but if they don’t have all their pieces, please put a note in the box. We can either sell with a note saying what is missing or re-package them as parts for someone to buy who has a game at home with missing parts. The rummage sale donation box would be happy to receive them all. Remember the outside toys as well, like a tricycle as the child now uses a two wheeler. A bike would probably be too big for the donation box, but consider making a note to donate it in August.

Delegates and visitors join for ministry, fun, fellowship, worship, and governmental duties in “Joyous in Discipleship” 

The theme “Joyous in Discipleship” echoed throughout the two-day Diocesan Convention at St. James’ in Midvale. The business of the church occupied the first day as both resolutions before the body passed unanimously. One resolution offers a small monthly stipend to Deacons of the Diocese in order to qualify the clerics for access to the Church Pension Fund. That fund offers considerable assistance to church employees-both working and retired. The second resolution lowered the percentage of clergy (retired and working) needing to be present to constitute a quorum for convention business and for the election of a bishop.

The Bishop of the Diocese of Atlanta, The Rt. Rev. Robert Wright furthered the “Joyous in Discipleship” theme with an inspirational keynote address. That address is found the above webpage. He then held an interactive workshop with convention delegates and visitors. Other workshops also took on aspects of the Joyous in Discipleship theme. Links to those workshops are also in this website (soon).
