As you know, we are in the middle of pledge season here at Christ Church. So far we are doing very well. Thanks so much to all of you who have already submitted your pledge! If you have not yet submitted a 2018 pledge, we hope you will and humbly ask that it be submitted by November 1st if possible. Each and every pledge is very helpful as we continue Christ Church's ministry and mission of receiving God's grace and sharing it with one another and the world. Pledge cards are available at the church, or if it's easier for you, you can also simply email your pledge amount to our bookkeeper,
Amy Creasy. Thanks so much!

All four teams will be featured in an exhibit at the upcoming convention of the Diocese of Georgia in downtown Valdosta from November 9-11, 2017, and descriptions of their projects and other accomplishments are included in the annual report of the Companion Diocese Commission which will be printed in the convention booklet and available to all delegates.
