The Amazing Faiths Project invites you to
participant in the Houston Dinner Dialogues on
Thursday, November 15, from 7:00 p.m. to

movement that brings people of diverse faith
traditions, and cultural backgrounds together to

conversation, and fellowship; to create an
atmosphere of understanding, respect, and
reconciliation; and to stand as witnesses against
the climate of intolerance, religious bigotry, and
hatred that abounds in the world today.

| Pumpkin Storytellers |
|
Imagine sitting in the pumpkin patch on a bright sunny day (cooler than today, of course) and reading a story to a group of bright, cheery children who are thrilled to be out of school for an hour and enjoying St. Andrew's Pumpkin Patch.
If this sounds like fun to you, we're looking for a few storytellers to volunteer for a couple of shifts during the month of October. No special skills required other than willingness to talk to children, tell them a little bit about our pumpkin patch and read them a couple of stories.
We need people who would be available at least one hour one weekday next month to join our storytelling team. We provide the stories, coloring sheets and stickers for the kids, you provide the love.
If you are interested, please contact Debbie Allensworth at debbie@standrewspearland.org or 281-485-3843. Thank you!

and Parents |

Here it is. We have two choices. At this time, we
will only do one. Please read carefully.
Let me know by return email the following
(remember we will only go to one place.) The
question is NOT which do you prefer, it is
"Which, Oklahoma, North Carolina, both,
or neither, are you willing to commit to right
now to go to Work Camp?"
I need names of both adults and youth who will
go from your family. Note that the two are on
different weeks.
To preview NC - go to North Carolina
To Preview OK - go to Oklahoma
