Come to TNT TOT @ The Draught House on Thursday!

This Thursday (November 16) at 7PM join me at the Draught House (4112 Medical Parkway) for 'Theology on Tap' (a chance to relax at a neighborhood pub). Seminarian Interns Margaret Ayers and Cindy Howard plan to join us. Remember to bring a lawn chair - the Draught House has plenty of space, but a shortage of chairs.

well this is sandy+ i just logged on and made it to the "blog" and am happy to be on my way to a bit more computer literacy! i hope you are all doing well and getting ready for the holiday (holy days!) and it is a hectic time of year. hope you can remember that christ is at the center of it all and can help with rest and reconciliation of the busy demands. please take the time to just sit with your lord without any demands or fuss. it does make a difference. i would love to teach a bit about this if anyone is interested. i have been a meditator for over 30 years and it can/does make a difference and it is easy. i am an extrovert and a busy person and yet somehow this time makes it all easier.

thanksgiving is a day i hope you will consider coming over at 3:00 if you are not engaged with family or traveling etc... so far we have about 11 i know of and counting. i want to do the turkeys and mashed potatoes and you can bring whatever you like to share.....your favorites! it would be good for me to have a rough idea of how many. casual is the name of the day and bring a friend if you wish. if you are so inclined! there is a eucharist at 10:45. i live in hyde park behind the hyde park gym and new world deli on ave a #4102. telephone 220-9592 or the church 476-3589.

let me know how you are doing and if there is anything i can do for you etc.... peace in christ, sandy+

[All Saints' Twentys and Thirties:34] This Saturday morning - TNT trip to the Micah 6 Food Pantry

Please join the Twenties and Thirties group on Saturday November 4 for a morning of service at the Micah 6 food pantry. We will meet in the All Saints parking lot at 9:00 am and will travel together (walk or carpool) to the Micah 6 food pantry at University Baptist Church on Guadalupe at 22nd street.

The pantry is like a very small grocery store - our work may include unloading food and stocking shelves, assisting recipients with shopping and bagging, and helping clean up and shut down after everyone is done shopping. Our service to Micah 6 is *very* important - the pantry is entirely dependent on volunteers. When we get to the pantry we will begin with a brief tour and orientation meeting, and we will work until the pantry closes at 11:30am.

I think this is an opportunity worthy of both our time and effort. I hope to see you there.

Joey

"The Micah 6 food pantry is a ministry that helps low-income individuals and families meet their most basic need for food and sustenance. Recipients of the food pantry come from many walks of life: some have mental and physical disabilities, some are burdened with addictions, some are undocumented immigrants with families who do not qualify for government assistance, and some have unexpectedly experienced unemployment or other crisis and are unable to provided food for their families. Our volunteers serve with a spirit of compassion and maintain a positive atmoshpere of fellowship, understanding, dignity, respect, and hope." - Micah 6 Website
