Living With Purpose Program to Take a Hiatus
By the Rev'd Duane Nettles
For the coming year, the program will take a hiatus to redesign it. The needs of our communities are still as great as ever and direct service fellowships are in high demand, in particular as AmeriCorps moves more funding away from direct service positions towards capacity building positions. At the same time, skilled young adults are finding an ever-improving economy and more employment opportunities. The great challenge to young adults is crushing student debt. While it can be deferred for one year, it looms over their financial future and pressures them to take full employment when available over a year of service. This is difficult to hear because young adults, more than ever, want to serve their communities and give back. The challenge then for the Church is to embrace our diaconal side and answer the question: How do we translate that desire of service into a reality for our communities?

Duane will now work full time at Church of the Annunciation, serving as the administrator. Upon his ordination to the priesthood this fall, he will serve as priest-in-charge.
Thank you, Duane, for your service to the Living With Purpose Program for this past year.

Deacon Jay Albert Appointed to Represent the Diocese with the Province IV Network of AIDS Ministries of the Episcopal Church
 Bishop Morris K. Thompson, Jr. has appointed Deacon Jay Albert as the representative from the Diocese of Louisiana to serve with the Province IV Network of AIDS Ministries of the Episcopal Church.
The Province IV Network of AIDS Ministries of the Episcopal Church exists to work collaboratively among member diocese to build opportunities for people with HIV/AIDS, their families, friends, caregivers, and people involved in AIDS ministries to come together for spiritual and emotional renewal, expressed within the traditions of the Episcopal Church. This manifests itself through the annual HIV/AIDS Retreat, held at the Kanuga Conference Center annually since 1992. The Network also builds bridges so that people involved in AIDS ministries can share information and support across diocesan lines, foster dialogue and share information that impacts the Church on the issues of HIV/AIDS.
Over 1.1 million people are living with HIV in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control, Baton Rouge ranks second and New Orleans ranks third in the metropolitan areas in U.S. in the rate of new HIV diagnosis.
More information on the ministry can be found here: http://www.provinceiv.org/Content/HIV_AID_Ministries.asp or contact Deacon Jay Albert at [email protected].

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Bayou Dularge, Celebrates 100 Years
On Sunday, July 27, the people of St. Andrew's, Bayou Dularge, celebrated their 100th year of ministry and mission. It was standing room only in the church for Holy Eucharist as parishioners, neighbors, friends, and descendants of the founders of St. Andrew's were in attendance. Bishop Thompson preached and celebrated. After the service there was a grand feast of fish, beans, jambalaya, and kettle popcorn.
Over 100 years ago the rector of St. Matthew's in Houma, the Rev. Gardiner L. Tucker, D.D., began traveling to minister to the people and families living at the lower end of Bayou Dularge, one of the most inaccessible areas of Terrebonne Parish at that time. In 1914, Dr. Gardiner began holding regular services. Since that time a church building was built (destroyed by Hurricane Hilda and rebuilt), roads were constructed and the people of Bayou Dularge steadfastly continued to do God's work and show His love in their community.
More pictures from the centennial celebration can be found on Facebook here.

Cooking Matters with Jericho Road
 by Holly Heine, Jericho Road Episcopal Housing Initiative
Second Harvest Food Bank Cooking Matters Program awarded Jericho Road an in-kind grant valued at $5,000 in order to share practical nutrition information, hands-on food preparation, and food budgeting and shopping knowledge with Central City residents. Participants receive recipes and educational materials from the lessons, and they get to take home a bag of groceries to practice what they've learned in class at home.
Cooking Matters provides at risk families the skills, knowledge and confidence to make healthy and affordable meals through a hands-on six week series of classes. The classes are taught by volunteer culinary and nutrition experts that teach participants how to select and prepare nutritious low-cost ingredients.
Jericho Road is thrilled to have just finished our second in the six classes last weekend. Classes are held in the very efficient kitchen at Christ Church Cathedral. We've seen a great turn-out and it's exciting to bring the use of such resources to our neighbors!!

The Kairos 58 team will be specially prepared for the ministry during 5 team formation meetings.
Please pray for the ministry. You can sign up for specific prayer times during the weekend at http://www.3dayol.org/Vigil/GetVigil.phtml?pvid=9504&commid=1462.
