3. “Episcopalian 101” (Can be substituted for Confirmation Class)
If you ever wondered why the bishop wears that funny hat, or for that matter why we even have bishops at all, this is the class for you. This twelve-week class will take you on an exploration into the history, theology, and liturgy of the Episcopal Church with all her marvelous and mysterious ways. This class is for you whether you are a so called “cradle” Episcopalian or someone who has not yet decided on their own Christian identity. Come and learn more about the beautiful Episcopal tradition. Fr. Tim Watts, along with occasional guest teachers, will lead us on what will most certainly be an interesting and informative experience. Class meets on Sundays at 9:15 a.m. downstairs. All you need is an inquisitive and hungry mind and spirit. Classes begin March 7, 2010. These classes are also for those who desire to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation to be offered at the Cathedral on Sunday May 23 at 4:00 P.M. If you are interested please inform Tara Cowen at the Church office at 770-271-4067 or

Karen Murphy introduced the attached questionnaire at a recent Faith Formation Teacher's meeting and all found it to be very interesting. They thought it might be interesting to the entire parish so you are invited to open the attachment and take the survey for yourself.
7. Donations Needed for Annual Easter Egg Hunt
We will need lots of individually wrapped candy and plastic eggs for our annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 4. Please leave these in the basket on the desk downstairs by March 28, so that EYC can stuff eggs and make a plan for the big hunt. Also, this year Sts. M&M will be sponsoring an Easter Bonnet Parade on Easter morning. Be thinking about your lovely creation. We will have prizes for different ages and categories.
