  Cathedral calls new dean

kcarroll

The Cathedral parish of All Saints' in Milwaukee has called The Rev. Kevin Carroll to be its next dean.   He will begin serving at the Cathedral in September. 
 
Kevin was born in Janesville, Wisconsin and attended the University of Wisconsin, graduating with an engineering degree in 1984.  After 20 years in the construction business, he graduated from Nashotah House Seminary in 2003, and on All Saints' Day 2003 became the first priest to be ordained by Bishop Steven Miller.  He currently serves at St. James' in West Bend.
 
Kevin and his wife Jane have two children -- Madeline who is 13 and Patrick who is 10 -- and live in Wauwatosa.  Jane is a Wisconsin native hailing from Rice Lake, and is a judge in Milwaukee County.
 
Please remember in your prayers . . .

ONGlogoOur Next Generation  celebrates! 
 
ONGhwc
On Wednesday, May 26th, 2010 parents, students, other family members, volunteer tutors and mentors, staff and board members gathered in Our Next Generation's Neighborhood Center to celebrate the conclusion of another successful school term.  The evening showcased the continued partnerships with community organizations, the impact of positive academic mentors, the implementation of successful educational programs and the success of students of the High School Connection who achieved a 99% high school graduation rate. The latter is a remarkable success as fewer than 40% of students in this central city community graduate from high school.
 
 
 
JK&SSOn the road again . . .
 
( Thanks to The Rev. Scott Stoner for this welcome report on The Rev. Jim Kaestner's recovery and return to biking)
 
"My wife and I were in Door County last week and by coincidence so were the Kaestners. We met for lunch, and knowing it was just five weeks after his serious bike accident (a dislocated elbow that required surgery) I of course wanted to know how his recovery was going. With a gleam in his eye, he said, "I brought my bike with me-- let's go riding tomorrow!". And so we did, 30 miles along the shores of Green Bay. It was a joy to be part of his recovery process and I was just so happy that I was able to keep up with him!"
 
Root Beer Float Extravaganza
 at Christ Church WFB

 What's Red, White and Blue, Brown and has a foamy head and is served in a glass?  Why it's a 4th of July Root Beer float, of course, served by a fantastic team of volunteers from Christ Church.  We happily serve tasty Root Beer floats to 4th of July parade goers from our garden spot on our Church grounds and prime parade viewing location!  It is a fun and wonderful way to spend a few hours on the holiday.  Come and enjoy the Whitefish Bay 4th of July parade and have a Root Beer Float on Christ Church.  Parade begins at 11:30 am.
 Christ Church is located at 5655 N. Lake Drive in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin.

Red Door Clothes: Clothing and Caring for God's People
 
Red Door Clothes, a clothing ministry of St. James', Milwaukee and Trinity, Wauwatosa, is moving into summer time and seasonal clothing. Shorts and short-sleeve tops are welcome. But, as always, the biggest demand is for jeans (new, clean-used) in all sizes for men and women. Men's shoes are always in short supply, too. And if you have men's winter coats, we can put those into storage for next year. Most of our guests are men, but women and children are also visiting us regularly twice a month. If you can help with any of these or for more information, call Gust Olson (414-271-1340) or Jane Johnson (262-786-7737).

Community of Hope
Here is the ideal opportunity to deepen your personal faith and discern your path for living out that faith in the world.  The Community of Hope program creates a Christian community of lay volunteer pastoral care givers who are shaped by Benedictine spirituality, united in prayer, and equipped for and serving in pastoral care ministries.  Participants explore God's call in our lives through a 12-week training class where we practice a "rule of life" through silence and Christian meditation and  learn about pastoral care practices such as listening skills, confidentiality, discovering who you are, coping with grief and loss, and more. 
 
The second Madison-area Community of Hope will run on Mondays, September 13 through December 13 from 6:15-8:15 p.m. at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, located at 4011 Major Avenue off Monona Drive. Applications are available now; the modest registration fee is $100. If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact Diane Brown ([email protected] or 608-444-6707) or Karla Temple ([email protected]  or 513-8197).
