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 schön!
