Our Holy Closing Service took place on Sunday, October 22, 2023 at 1:00pm at our campus on Landrum Education Drive.  114 people attended including past and present members of St. Gabriel’s.  Bishop Rob Wright presided, assisted by Fr. Bob Fessler and Deacon Sue Huff, along with Fr. Mike Freeman and Fr. Bill Combs, both former rectors of St. Gabriel’s, and clergy from Grace Episcopal Church in Gainesville, St. Anthony’s Episcopal Church in Winder, and Sts. Mary and Martha of Bethany in Buford.  We have posted pictures from the gathering as our final update to this site.  We have also posted a video of the closing service. You’ll find the video and a link to the Photos page below.

Thanks to our volunteers who have served our community on various Saturdays for many many years. As you may have heard, Sts. Mary and Martha in Buford has taken over St. Gabriel’s place on the board and as a sponsor of the South Hall Community Food Pantry. Nov 11 marked the first official service day under Mary and Martha and it went very well. 28 families were served by 10 volunteers. The next service day will be Dec 23. If you’d like more information or would like to sign up to help on that day or further into the future with Mary and Martha, please contact Debby Ollinger at anartlover@juno.com.
