FAMILY COMMUNITY SERVICE EVENT

St. B's is going on a mission trip; and you don't need to pack a suitcase, carry your passport, or get any shots!

This trip is right in your own back yard!

Join St. B's for a tour of
MUST Ministries Marietta.

When: September 16, 2007

Where: Meet @ MUST Ministries Marietta (map)
Time: 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Email Courtney by September 14th if you'll be joining us.

You may remember MUST Ministries as the organization we made all those sandwiches for this summer. It's also who we collected underwear for on "Unday Sunday" and school supplies for at "Back to Hogwarts".

Now's your chance to see MUST in action! We will begin our tour of MUST at the Loaves & Fishes Community Kitchen where they serve a hot meal to those in need each day. Then we will tour the rest of the campus and find out other ways we can be involved with MUST.

This is a family event so parents are encouraged to attend as well.

*Youth will receive service hours for this event.*

Episcopal Life Online

The words on the blackboard in an open-air Port-au-Prince classroom for disabled children summarize the Episcopal Church of Haiti's vision of ministry: "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine." MORE

For Christmas this year, consider giving a goat. Or a flock of chickens. Or medical care for infants, or education for AIDS orphans, or a well to provide clean water for an entire village. MORE

Delegates attending the 26th annual convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth on November 15 overwhelmingly approved realignment with the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone. MORE
