Georgia Beer Company cannot host us for our chosen night for Pub Night, Thursday, March 17th. It's St. Patrick's Day and they will not have the space. Lenten schedule constraints will push us to Monday evening, March 28th at 7:00 p.m. Let's gather then at Georgia Beer Company in the pump house. We'll set the next date then. The topic for this gathering, chosen by the group--Evangelism.

I was born in Tampa, FL and grew up in central Florida. I was raised in the Presbyterian Church. My parents, my brother, and I attended church regularly and we were all actively involved in activities there. I moved to Valdosta in the early seventies and worked as a dental hygienist for forty-eight years. I visited Christ Church and was impressed with the friendliness I found here. I was confirmed in May of 1974 by Bishop Reeves.

In January of 1983 my husband, Buddy, and I felt called to help with the founding of St. Barnabas. We served there for thirteen years ad felt led by the Holy Spirit to return to Christ Church in 1996.

In returning we found the same feeling of family that led us here to begin with. The love and support of our Christ Church family was overwhelming. We enjoyed the fellowship of fellow believers. Our greatest friends are here and have been here for us through really great times and through some rougher ones.

I have served on the Vestry in the past. I have served on staff of several Cursillos. I have served on the cleanup committee for Grace Café dinners, and served on the hospitality committee in years gone by. I consider it an honor to serve on the Vestry now.
