CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP SERIES
Next Monday night
at Christian Leadership, angie Helt
will share
details with us of the work she'll
be doing in Panama next fall and
we'll
talk some about the church in Central
and South America, as well as the
larger needs of the people there.
6 PM for dinner, 7 PM for discussion.
Choir at 8 PM.
WE MADE IT!
Thank all of you
who made our VOOM Sunday a success.
Last Sunday we celebrated our companion
relationship with St. Andrews Church
in West Ankole, Uganda, in prayer,
word, song and special giving. A
special thanks to Hugh Long, one
of the youth from our Diocese who
traveled to Uganda a couple of summers
ago, for his thumbnail sketch of
what Volunteer Oklahoma Outreach
Mission is all about. One thing
we learned is that the scholarship
amount to support an orphan student
has been raised from $300 to $350.
Thanks to all of you, we topped
THAT amount. Byamugisha (Milton)
does have our support for another
year. -Kay
WHISPERING PINES
LAST CHANCE FOR
WHISPERING PINES
Wednesday, April
20th (not this coming Wednesday,
but the next), will be our last
visit to Whispering Pines this semester.
Please put the date on your calendar
and try to come. Thanks! -Kay
UPDATED ESA NEWS
We have set a date for the retreat.
It will be April 23rd, which is
a Sat.
We will be back Sunday in time for
church. And now we have decided
which place to go. After talking
with Hugh, I decided that by going
to
his cabin it would probably be the
cheapest route and it would also
be a
great place to have a retreat. We
will be leaving from Canterbury
on Saturday
around 3:30 pm. Put this date in
your schedules! It's going to be
a blast!!
Also a huge thank you to Hugh for
opening his place up to us! Also,
If you
could reply to this to let me know
who all is going to be going to
the retreat,
it would be great!
AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES
Thursday April
21 at 7 PM Dr. John B. Cobb will
speak in the Angie
Smith Chapel on "Process Theological
Perspectives on Science and
Religion." Cobb is a pioneer
theologian in taking the philosophy
of Whitehead
as a basis for religious reflection,
resulting in a vision of God as
evolving along with the universe.
T-SHIRTS ARE HERE.
The t-shirts have arrived! Please
be sure to come pick yours up
as soon as you can!! The cost is
$9.00 and you can make checks
out to St. Anselm's of Canterbury.
URBAN IMMERSION EVENT IN AUSTIN
Urban Immersion
will take place from July 31 (travel
day) through
August 6th (travel back) at the
Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest
in
Austin.
If you think you
want to go and want your name on
the list, send it
back to us now. We can take a total
of 12 people. So we need to know
if
you're planning on going.
We'll spend five
days in Austin in hands-on ministry
among the poor and
dispossessed as well as sessions
designed to help us understand the
systemic issues and causes of poverty
and prejudice.We'll worship together
daily and have time for Austin's
delights as well.
We're seeking
grants at this time, so the cost
to participants will be
modest.
Again, let us
know now if you plan to come.
LAYREADERS AND EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS.
Liturgical ministry abounds at St.
Anselm's. If you are interested
in
