 It Will Not Rain!
The Cathedral's Absolutely Terrific Rummage Sale will be held this year on Saturday, May 30, from 9:00 in the morning until 2:00 in the afternoon, unless, of course, everything is sold before that! At 1:00 commences the Bag Sale: whatever can be stuffed into a bag for five bucks.
As in previous years, it will take place in the garden, and will include a Bake Sale.
Donations for sale, edible and otherwise, will be immensely appreciated. Alas, the Cathedral has no storage space (it's full of books for the Hunger Book Sale in August) so items must be dropped off that morning, any time after 7:00.
Yummy goodies! Fantastic bargains! A beautiful day to be outside!
Y'all come!

 Camp Webb
a great formation experience
Sending your kids to Camp Webb is a great way for them to have a camping experience centered around God in God's creation. Each day at camp will have a theme, worship, small groups, fun and games and I'm sure they will make great memories.
Please know that we are committed to getting every child to camp who wants to come, so please don't let money stand in the way! Scholarships are available. It promises to be a great summer and we hope your child can join us! For more information contact The Rev. Shannon Kelly at kelly@diomil.org or go to www.campwebb.org . |

Education for Ministry (EFM) Education for Ministry (EFM) is a program of the School of Theology of the University of the South that provides theological education-at-a-distance for laity. Students sign up for one year at a time of this four-year program. It covers the basics of a theological education in the Old and New Testaments, church history, liturgy, and theology. Students meet regularly, usually once a week, in seminars under the guidance of trained mentors. The program grants a certificate at the completion of the four years and 18 Continuing Education Units for each year's work.
Members of an EFM group experience community, challenge themselves in study, and learn ways to become more intentional and articulate in the ministries to which they are called in their daily lives.The EFM group meeting at St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church is looking for new members to begin in September 2009. (The specific day and time will be determined later with input from participants.)
There are two information sessions being offered at St. Dunstan's: Thursday, May 21, from 7-8 pm, and Sunday, June 14, from 1-2 pm. Please come to one of these sessions to learn more about the program. Time commitment, costs, financial aid, and student experiences will be discussed. If you have any questions please contact Gloria Alt at 608-370-6113, altmode@charter.net. St. Dunstan's is located at 6205 University Avenue, Madison.

 Safeguarding God's Children Information We are planning on holding some Safeguarding God's Children Trainings this summer and Fall. If you or someone in your parish needs to attend the training, please let The Rev. Shannon Kelly know. We are also trying to find all the Safeguarding God's Children kits around the Diocese. If you have a Diocesan kit, can you please send The Rev. Shannon Kelly an email ( kelly@diomil.org) and let her know you have it? Or if your church owns a kit, and would be willing to lend it out to another church, please let her know that as well. FYI, The Diocese of Milwaukee has rewritten it's Misconduct Prevention Policy. Your parish should have received one, and if they did not, they can find it on our diocesan website. The Rev. Shannon Kelly Bishop's Assistant for Christian Formation |
