College Ministries Meals
Thursday nights

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

Oktoberfest
Thursday, October 30, 2014 at 6:00 p.m.

Oktoberfest this year is Thursday, October 30th, with the biergarten opening at 6:00 p.m. and dinner served around 6:30. On the menu: Usinger's bratwurst from Milwaukee, potato salad and tossed salad, sauerkraut and other pickled things, rye bread, and beer and wine. Cost will be $10 per person. Please note that this is an adult gathering, so no nursery will be provided. Since Jane needs to know how many bratwurst to order, please sign up before October 15th. There is a sign-up sheet in the parish hall, or you can call the church office to leave your name. If you'd like to contribute by bringing potato salad (German or "regular") or sauerkraut, there's a sign-up sheet for that as well in the parish hall. Danke sch�n!

Playground and Ministries Fair

A Happy Sight: Children at Play in El Pedregal

A new Vineyard article features a set of photographs recently received from El Pedregal that shows children playing happily on the school playground that our mission team built in June 2014. The article is available below at this link: Vineyard DR Update.

 

Our mission team will be represented at Christ Church's Ministries Fair on Sunday, September 28th, with lots of information about our work over the past years and some very preliminary information about the 2015 trip. All members of the mission team, past and present, are invited to wear their team t-shirts and mission crosses and to help answer questions about this important ministry.
