Closing Service to be Oct 22 at 1:00pm
Many have asked about the time of our closing service on Oct 22nd. We’re pleased to announce at long last that it will be at 1:00pm with a reception to follow in the Parish Hall. It took a while to determine the best time and to get a commitment from the Bishop’s office, but we just received the necessary confirmation and are, therefore, able to announce it “officially.” Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Please note that the 1:00pm service will replace our 8:00am and 10:30am services It will be the only service on Oct 22nd.
Inventory Has Been Completed!
As we announced Sunday, Sep 17th, our inventory of the contents of the church is largely complete. There’s a notebook with descriptions and pictures of everything we’ve counted sitting on the big table in the Parish Hall. It will remain there until Oct 8th. We know that some items in the church do not belong to the church. However, we don’t always know which items those are. Therefore, if you see something of yours in the book and did not intend for it to be a permanent gift to the church, simply make a note next to the picture in the notebook and we’ll make sure you get it back.
Next, if there’s anything in the church that you would like to have, please write your name and phone number next to the picture in the notebook. We’d like to equip other churches with what we have if possible, but not everything will be wanted by other churches. If anything would be a blessing to you and a nice reminder of St. Gabriel’s, please write your name and phone number next to the picture in the notebook. As soon as we’re able, we’ll contact you and let you know if you’re able to have it.
If you have questions, please contact Rich Roszel, Sr. Warden, through the church office at 770-503-7555. Thanks!
Food Pantry Volunteers Needed Sep 30th
Our next scheduled day to serve at the South Hall Community Food Pantry is Saturday, Sep 30, 2023 from 10am – noon. Each time we serve, we provide food to approximately 30 families. We welcome regular volunteers and folks who can only serve occasionally.

What should I expect?
Our worship services follow formats outlined in the Book of Common Prayer. The Holy Eucharist includes the celebration of Holy Communion. Rite I (8:00am) is more traditional, uses older language (thee, thine, etc.) and seldom uses music. Rite II (10:30am) uses more contemporary language (you, your, etc.) and usually is accompanied by hymns and other music from our Music Ministry.

Our Mission & Vision
At St. Gabriel’s, our vision and mission is Celebrate and Share the Love of God with EVERYONE … and that includes YOU!
Many people today won’t come through the doors of a church for fear of being judged or criticized. But that’s not the job of the church! There are no perfect people at St. Gabriel’s. If we had to be perfect to come here, the church would be empty week after week. Instead, God created each of us in His image and He wants to have a relationship with us. God, and God alone, is the One who can reform us and refine us and He does that while in relationship with Him. So our role is to celebrate His love and share His love with anyone and everyone and, in the process, introduce them to their loving Heavenly Father, God.

Creation . Redemption . Restoration .
Most of us want to figure out who we are, or what our identity is, yet our identity is found in the One who created us: God. Many of us feel our lives are broken, but our lives can be redeemed … by God. And some of us suffer from broken relationships with others and with God, yet restoration is possible, too … by God. Learn about our creative, redemptive and restorative God right here at St.Gabriel’s.
