CANTERBURY COMMUNITY EAGER TO WRITE UGANDA. Last week,
we had letters from three Ugandan kids who wanted
Oklahoma pen pals. All three now have pen pals from
our community. Thanks to Marlon Breaux, Debbie
VanWinkle and Tess Wright for their desire to
establish these new friendships. Others wrote in and
asked to be paired with a student. We will work on
getting some more West Ankole kids for you to write
to.

ARCHITECT TO PRESENT PRELIMINARY SKETCHES. Architect
and Episcopal priest, Phil Lawrence of Grove will be
in town on Thursday to present preliminary drawings on
the proposed addition of a multi-purpose room to St.
Anselm’s. Last fall, diocesan officials encouraged St.
Anselm’s to research enlarging its facilities due to
increased usage. Feel free to drop by around 10:30 and
join the discussion with Phil and Michael.

BINGO WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 11th at 2pm. St. Anselm’s
will call bingo for our friends at WHISPERING PINES on
this date. We could really use your help. So, come

outreach ministry of our community.
