Julian Gatherings open to all 
A Julian Gathering is open to everyone and you are welcome at all times. We support each other in the practice of contemplative prayer and contemplative spirituality.
These gatherings are initiated and supported by the Order of Julian of Norwich (www.orderofjulian.org) and have the quintessentially Anglican writings of Blessed Mother Julian of Norwich at their core. They are for all who want to deepen their life of faith through the practice of contemplative prayer, for beginners as well as those already practicing. Each meeting includes time for contemplative prayer, fellowship, and reading/discussion of Bl. Julian's revelations. At the beginning of each meeting, brief instruction on the practice of contemplative prayer is offered.
We meet the second Wednesday of each month from 7:15 to 9 PM at St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church, 6205 University Ave., Madison, Wisconsin. Our next meeting is Wednesday, July 14. For additional information, contact Susan Fiore: (608) 845-2413 orlento@chorus.net .

Working in concert with the Outreach Ministry of the Central City Churches of Milwaukee, Sundries from The Avenue gathers and provides sundries at no cost to single adults and families living on low-incomes, on fixed-incomes or with no incomes.
The Sundries ministry of St. James', Milwaukee is asking for your help. When you travel this summer, save and collect your unused sundries from the hotels/motels in which you stay; these amenities are part of your hotel cost.
Please help support this ministry by collecting:Tooth Brushes, Toothpaste,Shampoo, Lotion,Facial Tissue,Deodorant, Soap, Disposable Razors, Mouthwash, Feminine Hygiene Products, Combs &Hair Brushes, Shaving Cream, Lip Balm, Dental Floss, Bandages.
This collection will run all summer, and end at the Diocesan Convention in October, where we will also have a table for drop off collected items. Collected items are distributed monthly at St. James' in cooperation with the meal ministry of The Gathering, and at other times through the Outreach Ministry of the Central City Churches of Milwaukee.
