College Ministries Needs
  • Canterbury Club (Episcopal College Ministries) has started up for the fall semester.  We would like to provide dinner each Thursday night for around 25 college students starting at 7:00 p.m. If you are interested in helping provide a meal one Thursday night this can be done in a number of ways.  Food can be prepared and brought to Louttit Hall at 6:30 p.m., donate monetarily and food will be prepared at Louttit Hall, or donate food to be prepared.  Please sign-up in the parish hall, contact the church office or Brenda Keller
  • Contributions welcomed!  As our College Ministry grows, so does its needs.  They now have Bibles, Prayer Books, a t.v., a pool table and basket ball game.  Two new pressing needs are folding chairs and window blinds (there are no blinds or curtains in the house!)  If you would like to help make this happen, please give your contribution to Frances Guice, Brenda Keller, or the church office.  Thank you!
