Sunday, November 24 - All Ages Godly Play
Molly Graves will lead us in a Godly Play story as we wonder about the advent season we will soon be entering. As part of our work, we will create a craft to slip into the Emmaus House "Thanksgiving at Home" bags we have collected.
Sunday, December 1 - Intergenerational Advent Wreath Making Workshop - 9:30am in the Parish Hall
Individuals, families and people of all ages are invited to our annual workshop to create an Advent wreath to take home. The tradition of lighting the Advent wreath throughout the four weeks of Advent is a wonderful way to prepare for the coming of the Christ Child, and our wreath-making event is a fun and festive way to begin the Advent season with our St. Bede's family.
The cost for an Advent Wreath Kit including candles is $15.00. If you already have a kit from a previous year, bring your wreath form on Dec. 1st to refresh with new greens. Please bring decorative greens to share (if you have them in your yard) and your own clippers (if you have a pair). We will provide a booklet of prayers for use with your Advent wreath and we will also offer instruction about making your Advent wreath.
Adult Christian Formation Coming in December
St. Bede's has been and continues to be a wonderfully hospitable place, where people feel their belonging and know they can bring all they are into this space. In a two-week conversation on December 8 and 15, we will consider together how a shared, deeper understanding of gender and sexuality might expand our hospitality and enrich our experience of community.
Please join us -- your voice and your experience are an important strand in the St. Bede's tapestry! 9:30am in Room M-110

Nominations for Vestry for 2020
It's the time of year when nominations for next year's Vestry are sought. If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else, please let a committee member know by November 24. The nominating committee consist of the three off-going Vestry members (John Branan, Laura Martin, and Orisha Pasrons),
and two at large members who are being identified.
The Vestry has legal & fiscal responsibilities for St. Bede's and works in partnership with the Rector to discern what the parish is called to do and to have oversight of that work. We seek members who are intentional and reflective about what our church should be focused on at this time and who have the vision and energy to carry out this work. Members must be able to take into account the needs of all the people in our congregation. The individuals on the Vestry work together for form community, finding common ground, centered on the spiritual life of the individuals and of the vestry as a group, to lead and oversee the church's work.

If You Need a Name Tag ...
Please let the Parish Office know if you need a name tag. The procedure is simple. Just put a note on the Parish Administrator's desk in the office and by the next Sunday your new name tag will be on the "spinners".

Wednesday, November 20 has been established as a day to remember the names of transgender people whose lives have been lost to anti-trangender violence over the years. As we seek through our baptismal covenant to "seek and serve Christ in all persons" and "respect the dignity of every human being," you may choose to take a moment to honor these persons by praying for them and holding them in a moment of remembrance.
Names of those who have died since January 2017

Please join Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, Bishop Robert Wright,
and the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Atlanta for
ReviveATL: Love in Action
an Episcopal Church Revival
January 22, 2020 from 6-8 p.m.
Atlanta University Center
|
This past year, Presiding Bishop Curry has urged people of faith to follow The Way of Love, fostering a community of people who follow Jesus by forming loving, liberating and life-giving relationships with God, their neighbors, and the environment.
This Way of Love is reflected by the Diocese of Atlanta's purpose statement:
We challenge ourselves and the world to love like Jesus as we worship joyfully, serve compassionately, and grow spiritually.
What does Love in Action look like in a world that is hurting? ReviveATL invites us to live out our call to serve Jesus and love as he loves the unwelcome, the disenfranchised, the lost, and the found.
All are welcome. Come experience Love in Action.
Details: Prior to the Revival, food trucks will be available from 4:30-6 p.m. to allow for early arrivals. A more detailed program will be released this fall.
Early bird registration before Nov. 1 includes guaranteed seating. Registration will be opening soon.
