Gathering about the former 9:30 service.
Sunday, October 26, 2014 at 12:00 p.m.

A gathering about the former 9:30 Service will be held on

Sunday, October 26, 2014. 

 

This will be an opportunity for any of you who are interested to gather with Father Dave and talk about the former 9:30 service.  We will meet in the Gabard Building at noon, right after our Adult Sunday School Class.
Foyer Groups (Supper Club)

Foyer Groups are being formed and will be starting up soon. For newcomers, or anyone not familiar with Foyer Groups - it is like a supper club.  The groups will meet every other month (six times a year) in a different member's home, or a restaurant, or even the parish hall.  This is a great way for newcomers to meet fellow parishioners.  It is open to singles and couples, young and old (adults only).  For more information or to sign up, contact Sallie Honeycutt or (417) 294-7796.

Oktoberfest
Thursday, October 30, 2014

For those of you who signed up for Oktoberfest, we've ordered the bratwurst and are looking forward to serving you on October 30th. And we could still use a few volunteers to bring potato salad (German or your regular family favorite) and sauerkraut--the sign-up sheet for that is still posted in the parish hall. Thanks!

Planning for the 2015 Mission Trip
Plus new photos from the school in El Peregal

Take a quick look at the Planning Page (link below) for our 2015 DR Mission Trip. Obviously, many of the pertinent details are not yet in place, but this will give our former missioners a link to send their interested friends. While these initial details may not be inspiring, your stories of what a previous trip meant to you are. Tell your story and help us recruit a really strong team!

 

Planning Page for 2015 Mission Trip

 

We recently received some new pictures from the school in El Pedregal. These are the first pictures that we have seen of every classroom and the active use of the playground we built in June 2014 in partnership with the Nebraska youth mission team.
