Our annual Advent Wreath-Making event is returning to the Sunday School hour (11:15 - 12:00) on the first Sunday of Advent. Please come join us as we begin the season of preparation for the birth of our Lord in this traditional, meaningful way.
Please contact Millie or sign up in the Parish Hall to let us know that your family is planning on making a wreath so that we have enough materials on hand.
We also need assistance gathering the fresh greenery used in making the wreaths. The traditional, and symbolic greenery used include evergreens (pine, cedar and fir), bay laurel, rosemary, ivy and holly. If you can provide any of these, please contact Millie Johnson. Advent candles will be available for purchase on this date to complete your wreath.

December 6 Deadline to sign up for trip
|
We have recently made a lot of progress in planning our 2017 DR Mission Trip. We bought a group ticket from Valdosta to Atlanta to Santo Domingo and made a down payment.
We have 11 confirmed members of the team now and can take as many as eighteen.
The deadline to join the team is Tuesday, December 6, 2016, when team members need to send in the $200 non-refundable deposit and a copy of the photo pages in their passport.
We plan to renovate and add on to a house for our longtime friend and interpreter Leidy Rosario and her husband and son. In addition, we will teach Vacation Bible School and host the splash party for the children as well as small projects around the school if we have enough money.

As in previous years, we will hold this gala event at the Cotton Corner in downtown Valdosta. Consider donating one or more items to be auctioned during the event. Please save that date!
