neighbors from our local community to run and walk and carry on to promote health and wellness

Parish is putting together a team.  The church has paid the team fee.  Don't want to run?  Fine!
Come walk, crawl, skip, hobble, whatever, just come join us!  Registration forms are in the 
church office.
 
+Many thanks to all who contributed to help the homeless and needy in Chattanooga.

so much for your help!
