We're Having a 'Faith Alive' Weekend!

Where?
The Church of the Holy Trinity
Sweetwater Center, 160 Merovan Drive
North Augusta, South Carolina 29860

When?
May 11-12
Friday evening, beginning with supper at 6:00 pm
Saturday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
Saturday evening, beginning with supper at 6:00 pm

What?
It is a weekend in which approximately 16 visitors (including children and teenagers) will be coming into our parish to spend this time with us.  They are fellow Anglicans who are offering to tell us something of their faith journey and encourage us in ours.

There will be a strong emphasis on youth and teens, and we are all encouraged to invite quests, young and old, to come be a part of this weekend.

Why?
Faith Alive is an opportunity for us to grow together, find answers to Faith questions together, renew our Faith commitment to God together, and support each other in our mutual Faith journeys.  One of our parishioners here at Holy Trinity wrote this to me about Faith Alive:
As a new returnee to church after a period of more than 20, I was offered the opportunity to attend a Faith Alive weekend.  To be honest, it was the best weekend spent in a long, long time.  I recommend it no matter where you are in your Faith or  relationship with God.  It will change not only the way you understand your Faith, but also show you that Christians know how to have fun, laugh, learn, grow and become strong in their faith together.

How?
Sign up by calling or emailing Paula Wahl at 803-341-0512 or pawahl@mac.com, or by putting your name on the sign-up sheet on the table in the parish hall.  This weekend promises to be a significant milestone in teh life of this yet very young church family.  Guests are very welcome. This will be a good time to see, hear and experience what the Lord is doing among the folks of Holy Trinity.
