Thanks to ALL who participated...it was a great day and great fun to do. We will do it again next year!!!! Some St Mary's Church kids participating in the Toccoa City Christmas Parade decorated, 'on their own, with their creative, magical, imaginative, whimsical, witty (and every other missing adjective)' minds and spirit, a true transformation of a utility trailer into a 'New York City Macy's Day Christmas float'!!!! Please come and cheer them on as they compete for the Grand Prize. This Saturday, December 2nd @ 4 pm along Doyle Street in downtown Toccoa!

UPDATE!!! thanks to ALL who came to the luncheon. We had twenty more attending than expected!...WE LOVE UNEXPECTED DROP-INS...ALL ARE WELCOME AT ST MARY'S...check out the photos in the photo tab.. Gaudete Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent, 'JOY'; the pink candle...the Parish Council will be hosting a Parish Community luncheon @ 2 pm in the Parish Hall. The PC will furnish the meats (spiral ham, chicken fingers and breads). Parishioners are asked to bring casseroles, desserts , beverages or other 'shareable' dish. We also need a head count...a signup sheet is in the narthex. Children can make a simple tree ornament for the Sanctuary tree (supplies will be furnished). We also are expecting Santa to to make an appearance.
