Pastors’ Networking Lunch - July 22
This Thursday, we will continue with our series of Pastors Networking Lunches. Anyone is welcome, especially those currently seeking employment. We will convene as usual over delicious food and thoughtful conversation around scripture in the Tree of Life Room at 12 noon. This month’s passage is Luke 12:13-21, The Parable of the Rich Fool. Contact Don in the church office to RSVP. There is no cost to you for this lunch.
Food Bank Volunteers Needed
Our Food Bank ministry offers a unique opportunity for you to get to know not only church members you serve with, but also neighbors who come as clients. Over time as a volunteer, you will become familiar with regular clients who come to your shift. You will watch their kids grow on the healthy food our Food Bank provides. They are almost always grateful, and it is such a joy to share this gift with visitors. If you are ready to embark on this journey of relationship for the glory of the Kingdom of God, please consider volunteering for one of these available shifts: the 3rd or 4th Tuesday afternoons of the month from 1-3pm, or the 3rd Thursday evening from 6-8pm. Contact the church office or Minister of Outreach Patrick Meagher if you are interested.
Immigration Reform Advocacy Training at PRLC
You may have heard President Obama’s recent speech on the need for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR). We have been working toward this goal for a long time at PRLC, but now may be the season of opportunity. To keep this momentum growing the Indonesian Lutheran Fellowship and PRLC will host a CIR advocacy training. Participants will learn about our immigration system from a faith perspective and partner with local immigration advocates. The training takes place Saturday July 31, 2010 from 9 am to 4 pm in the Tree of Life Room. This program is designed to equip church leaders with the necessary tools to return to their church and organize an advocacy effort. Please consider inviting along friends and associates from outside the PRLC circle. Lunch is provided so please sign up with Don Boelter at dboelter@prlc.org so we know how many to provide for. There is no cost for this training but a freewill offering will be collected for lunch.
