Summer Lunch Thank You! - We had a great week at St. Paul's preparing the summer lunches. We served a total of 150 lunches for the week.  I would like to thank you for all your support.  We had a full kitchen everyday, sharing stories and laughter while we prepared the lunches.  It wouldn't have been possible without all the food and money donations, thank you so much for your generosity.  The lunches were gratefully received each day by the Americorps volunteer and several of the children.  It was a great week and continues to be an important outreach to our community. Barb Coulter

 

Update from Geri Williams is recovering quite well from her fall. She visited her doctor on Monday and they found that screws had moved slightly. They told her this happens but take it a little easy for the next few days. They will check her shoulder again next Monday. She has requested our prayers during her recovery. Cards may be sent to: Geri Williams, c/o Dan Williams, 19 Grove Street, Arlington, MA 02476.

Alleluia! Open Golf Tournament - As we approach our 6th Alleluia! Open Golf Tournament on September 9 at the Basin Harbor Club in Vergennes, Vermont, we are grateful for the generosity of so many people and organizations who have made this tournament a huge success.  Thanks to you we have raised over $49,000 for children, those in need, the environment, and educational opportunities for youth and adults around our state and world.  Last year over $11,000 was given thanks to many businesses, parishes, and individuals.

 

Every dollar from sponsors and gifts and prizes goes directly to the AlleluiaFund ministries of the Episcopal Church in Vermont.  The gifts support The Rock Point Camp for youth and children, Global and Domestic outreach of many kinds, St. Paul’s Cathedral ministries of arts and education, and the care of our Rock Point property as a sanctuary of natural beauty, renewal, and education for thousands. Additional information about these various ministries can be found on our website at http://www.diovermont.org/alleluia-fund.php .

 

This year our goal for the Open is to raise $12,000 to support the overall goal of the AlleluiaFund of $40,000.  Please help us with a monetary gift or raffle items or prizes to help support these ministries in their service and witness.  Also, please join us on September 9 at the Basin Harbor Club for a fun golf outing with great food. To register to play in the Alleluia Open either as a team of four or as an individual who will be paired with others to form a team. http://www.jotformpro.com/71654955609973
