Especially requested are Urban Hair shampoo and conditioner (Cantu, Shea Moisture), Vaseline, lotion, laundry detergent, and dish soap.

Confirmation Classes Begin March 23
Our next confirmation class will begin on March 23 in preparation for the confirmation service at the Cathedral of St Philip on June 1. Anyone who is interested in being baptised, confirmed, received, reaffirmed, and those that are just interested in learning more about the Episcopal Church are encouraged to attend. See Wade McGlamery or Mother Nikki to sign up.
Children's Christmas Eve Pageant
There will be a Christmas pageant led by the children at the Christmas Eve service on December 24 at 5:00 PM. Children interested in participating in the pageant are encouraged to join us for rehearsals during Children's church during the 10:30 Sunday services between now and then. Every year, some children join in the pageant at the last minute. For those interested in participating, the only rehearsal that is mandatory is the 4:00 PM rehearsal before the 5:00 Christmas Eve service itself. We have many roles available to choose from! The children are encouraged to invite a friend to participate with them. The pageant is a relaxed and fun occasion, and we welcome all who are interested.
With questions, please contact Kate Avinger's cell at 706-461-1089.
Band of Believers
Band of Believers! We practice for the Christmas pageant every Sunday in Advent from 9:45-10:30AM in the Children's Chapel. We accept all folks who have ever played an instrument. All means all! If you want to play with the Band of Believers let Vicky Tavernier know.
Vestry Candidates
Attention Parishioners! It's time to nominate candidates for next year's vestry. We have five positions opening up! If you know someone who is at least 18 years old and a communicant in good standing whom you think would make a good vestry member, please pass on their name to anyone on the vestry nominating committee: John Barrett, Stace Court, Gail Eilers, Karen Hankins, Kathryn Musholt, or Mark Richardson. You can also email your nomination to Mark Richardson. Nominations will remain open until the end of October. Thank you for helping us keep St Gregory's a great place to worship!
