Join us on May 18, 2008 as Bishop Frank Allan (Bishop of the Atlanta Diocese from 1989 - 2000) concludes our series New Church on an Old Rock that has focused on what it means to be an Episcopalian. Bishop Allan will discuss the Nicene Creed and God as the maker of all things visible and invisible.  He'll offer both theological and scientific perspectives as well as provide an opportunity to develop an understanding of its implications to our shared faith.

The Adult Education program is held in the Parent Resource Room in the main school building at 9:30 am.

Please join us and bring a friend on Sunday, May 18.  Come at 9:00 and enjoy breakfast and then join us at 9:30 a.m. for an insightful discussion.  Then, stick around for worship at 10:30 a.m.

 

St. Benedict's is currently worshiping in a temporary location: Campbell Middle School, Smyrna, GA. more details & directions...

 St. Benedict's Spirit Shines Through The Rain at The Smyrna Jonquil Festival

Despite the rain, St. Benedicts once again, made it's presence known at the Smyrna Jonquil Festival at the Village Green in Smyrna on April 26.  Unfortunately, we were rained out on Sunday. Never fear... once again we provided an opportunity to color lunch bags for MUST Ministries' Summer Lunch program and we raised money for Heifer International to go toward trees for gifts of trees to stop erosion and to provide shade for flocks.  Click here to see the photos.

Green Eggs and Ham were Just the Start of a Great Earth Day Sunday

Thanks to the Green Team for hosting a great breakfast, giving us a chance to recycle our used batteries, and helping us learn about using compact florescent lights.  $12 was raised through the Rent-A-Mug initiative where the money raised will be used for greening up and landscaping the new church property. 

We also said Goodbye and Thanks to Patty Jones (Photo here) and consecrated memorial gifts given by Ron Reagan (photo here)
