PARISH ANNOUNCEMENTS
Because of an unusually busy Advent and Christmas season at Good Sam, we have opted not to have a Burning of the Greens party this year. So, after the 11:00 AM service on January 7, we could use some help taking down the Christmas tree and other greenery from around the church. Thank you!
Hey Youth - are you already dreaming of summer camp, but it’s late December? Then Winter Camp is for you! If you have been to camp at Grace Point before, you know how meaningful and fun it is. And if you haven't been, now is the perfect time to check it out! Space is filling quickly, so hurry and register! 9-12th graders: Jan. 12-15; 6-8th graders: Feb. 2-4. If you need a scholarship, don't hesitate to ask. Register here: http://gracepoint.dioet.org/Camps/winter-sessions-2018.html. Questions? Contact Sinead at [email protected] .

The Weekly Cash from the Plate Offering
The cash plate this week will go to The Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley. The Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley (HSTV) is no-kill rescue and adoption facility located in Knoxville. HSTV is committed to its relationships with other shelters in the region, primarily by transferring some of their at-risk animals for adoption. HSTV believes that euthanasia is not the solution just because of lack of shelter space. The Humane Society of The Tennessee Valley offers a low cost spay/neuter/vaccination clinic, dog training, educational services and volunteer programs thanks to support of donations like today’s cash in the plate offering.
Last week’s offering of $1,575 has been designated for Remote Area Medical.
Thank you for your generosity.
