Are you interested in with decorating the church or setting up for communion at STH?
The Worship Team is looking for a volunteer group to help! If you are interested in learning more, plan to come to Marsh Chapel after community lunch on
November 2 (1-2pm), for a hands-on demonstration by Carl Daw. We will learn and review helpful information about adorning the church with our beautiful paraments, as well as special considerations for setting up and putting away items on Communion weeks. All are welcome!

Keeping Private Information Private, Online and on Paper
| |
|
And you thought document shredding went out with Watergate.
Even in this electronic-communications age, lots of sensitive information is still kept on paper-especially numbers: Social Security, credit card, driver's license, and financial account, not to mention medical data. Any of that information that is no longer needed and could conceivably be used to get money or access to something of value needs to go away, and go away properly, says Quinn Shamblin, the University's executive director of information security.

| Sacred Worth Meeting | |
Tuesday, November 1, 2011
4:30pm.
All are welcome. For the meeting location please RSVP: sacred@bu.edu
Sacred Worth is the School of Theology's student group committed to the full inclusion of gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, and transgender (GLBT) persons in the church, academy, and wider society. Sacred Worth exists because GLBT persons, like other minorities, represent a population of God's beloved children historically marginalized by the church and society. Sacred Worth serves as a community of support for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities wishing to partake in God's creation and building community, as well as working for the full inclusion and recognition of its liturgical traditions and other ecclesial gifts in the academy and the parish.
