St Giles
National Mission Trip will be returning to work with West Virginia Ministry of
Advocacy and Workcamps (WVMAW) June 23 through 29. This year we will go to
Montgomery, WV, which is a similar area to where we have gone previously to Dry
Creek and Colcord. It is a small town environment rather than a rural setting,
but the needs are similar. Our focus will be home repair for those who have
been affected by storms and/or elderly people who cannot do repairs themselves
and cannot afford to hire others to help them.
Information
brochures are available at the back of the church. We are looking for
participants to go to WV, as well as prayer partners and others who can help in
the planning and preparation for the trip.
Please
prayerfully consider going with us as we both reach out and minister, but are
also ministered to by those we go to help.
Interest
forms should be returned by April 14 so that planning can proceed for the trip.
For further information please contact Bob Lindsay or Denise Stevenson. |

The
Ministry Teams of Young Adults and Families and Childrens are sponsoring an All
Church Retreat. Everyone (and we mean
everyone!) is invited to spend the weekend of Friday, May 10-Sunday, May 12 at
beautiful Camp Albemarle. This location
is perfect for all ages-young and young at heart, for all single people and all
families, and for anyone who wants to spend a weekend with the good people of St.
Giles. Here’s everything you will want to know about lodging and food.
Lodging Options-
The Lodge has rooms with 6 bunk beds and a bathroom. A
family or group of friends can reserve a room for $180 for the weekend. If
you’d like to come and not reserve a whole room, the cost is $50 per person to
stay in the lodge for the weekend.
Cabins have 8 bunk beds and a bathhouse shared by everyone
in the cabins. A family or group of friends can reserve a room for $120 for the
weekend. If you’d like to join in the fun without reserving a whole cabin, the
cost is $30 per person to stay in a cabin for the weekend.
Food-
Each participant will be asked to bring food to share for
Saturday’s breakfast and lunch, Sunday’s breakfast, and snacks. More
information about this will be shared in mid-April. Saturday night’s dinner
will be catered. The cost for this is $5 per person.
So, you’ve added the retreat to your calendar, what do you
do next?
1-Contact Susannah to get your room or cabin reserved.
2-Pay for your lodging plus $5 per person for dinner on
Saturday night.
3-Get ready to have a wonderful time!

The St. Giles choir and instrumentalists will share their Christmas Cantata with us, and also our confirmation class will be officially joining the church, so it'll be an extra special service. Afterwards, we invite you to join us in the Fellowship Hall for our annual Christmas reception. Please bring a "finger food" to share.
