Oasis of
Amazing Grace...where we explore our spirituality together. This series
of workshops focuses on deepening our spiritual lives through a wide array of
spiritual practices, disciplines and ways of being spiritual. We meet
Thursday evenings at 7pm in the Spicer Chapel with contemplative worship
followed by one of six informal workshops featuring food, conversation and
support for those searching for a deeper relationship to God, family,
friends, co-workers and the world. Workshop themes will be: Making Space
for God, Bumping into God, Praying the Magnificat, Labyrinth Prayer,
Benedictine Rule for Presbyterians and Other Monastics, and Healing
Touch and Other Complementary Therapies. Plan to attend all the
workshops or select the ones that ignite your interest, imagination, passion
and/or curiosity!

Ecumenical
Relationships have been encouraged by our ecumenically-minded
congregation! We have enjoyed numerous joint worship services during Lent,
Pentecost, Reformation Sunday and Advent. Our Women's Associations meet
regularly with area churches for luncheons and fellowships. We do not
believe in "4-wall" Christianity and live this out in our rich
relationships with others.

Bible
Study groups are held weekly and the groups are growing and
enthusiastic. The mid-week Horizon's Brown Bag Bible Study group meets
on Tuesdays at Noon. Participants are encouraged to bring their lunch.

Working
Together to Create a Healthy Community continues to be our focus as we
move forward with our new ministries: Healthy Families, Mom's Coffee Club,
Literacy Program and Summer Camp. Our Healthy Families ministry planted a
Community Garden this past summer with the assistance of many friends and
neighbors; and continues to move forward on the computer lab project. Our
Adult Literacy Program is training new tutors with the help of Literacy of
Fulton County and our Summer Camp Program in 2006 was a successful,
ecumenical Vacation Bible School with Gospel lessons, crafts, music, story
telling - planning for 2007 is underway.

The
Fidelis Friends Circle is the combined group of the The Semper
Fidelis Class which began as a Sunday school class back in 1932! They
chose the name Semper Fidelis (always faithful) at that time and have been
regularly meeting every since. Through their dedication, study and service
they have made a tremendous contribution to our church and the Friendship
Circle was formed in 1955 (originally as Mothers' Circle) to serve a
need for mothers with small children. Their activities include mission
programs and various fund raisers. They meet monthly from September to June
and new members are always welcome.

Sanctuary
Guild provides floral arrangements to grace our Sanctuary throughout the
year with emphasis on seasonal decorations such as poinsettias at Christmas
and lilies at Easter.
