WOW is going to New Orleans this summer!
When? August 5 – 11, 2012
What will we do there? Download the WOW Mission Trip Application 2012 flyer, and visit the St. Bernard Project website, www.stbernardproject.org
How much will it cost? Good question! We are still calculating the costs. Figure around $400 for the week. This amount includes travel expenses, food and lodging in
New Orleans.
What else is required? Three things:
1. Complete the attached WOW Mission Trip Application 2012.
2. Help plan organize and execute fundraisers throughout the year to help defray some of the travel expenses associated with the trip.
3. Participate in a formational retreat and planning meetings before we leave.
A calendar for all events (fundraisers, retreat, planning meetings) will be forthcoming.

CHRISTIAN CHURCHES UNITED???
Diversity can be a good thing, but isn’t it sad that churches professing the same Prince of Peace can’t always get along? On WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18th, we are invited to a Bible Study with folks from neighboring Christian congregations at North Shore Baptist Church to commemorate our hope that Christians everywhere can overcome our denominational differences to proclaim one Church dedicated to the ministry of Jesus.
The program will run from 7 to 8:30pm. If you need a ride, or would like more information, contact Peter Buttitta at the rectory, 773.764.3621, 
.
That all may be One!
