Let's Take A Walk
Join CCA’s Parish Life Administrator, Valerie Hanks as she invites you on a behind the scenes tour of an afternoon in our very busy, church office!
Baby Jack oversees all activities; Angela cutting bookmarks for Women’s Renew coming up on Saturday, January 14; Sunday's Order of Worship is being copied; Erin gets water; Joan wraps up the 2022 books, Debbie is busy working her magic on the computer and much much more! Keep an eye out for someone sleeping thru all of it…little Hazel.
As you can hopefully tell, we have serious FUN here in the office!
Loads of upcoming reminders are highlighted, including Women’s Renew: A Seat at the Table on Saturday, Jan. 14 at the Whitefield Center. This year we have been looking at the subject of Hospitality and in particular, paying attention to the times that Jesus hosted or was hosted by people in scripture (hence the title for this year’s theme "A Seat at The Table"). Our table discussions have been intimate, informative, challenging, and extremely thought provoking. So ladies, join us if you can!
Childcare will be available for this meeting! Please contact Erin to make arrangements ASAP.
Meeting Details: Saturday, 14th January @ 9:30am-11:30am at the Whitefield Center (106 E 37th St, Savannah, GA 31401)
