Don't forget our field trip on July 20th! Meet at our church at 11:00 a.m., and we will travel downtown to Mt. Carmel Catholic Church for their 11:30 mass. Afterwards, we have been invited to a picnic at the home of Chuck and Nancy Phillipson--Chuck is Lolly Symcheck's brother. Lolly will be calling everyone's mentors with information about the picnic, so you will probably hear from your mentor soon.
I am looking forward to our retreat on August 8-10. Don't forget those permission forms! We need them into the church by the Monday before the retreat!

Retreat--We Have a Place to Stay!
Good news!
We have a place to stay for our retreat--it is local, very nice, and actually less expensive for us than Villa Maria would have been.
The place is called "Dream Horse Guest House" It is a bed and breakfast located in Kinsman. We will be occupying about three rooms, and one of them has a kitchen, so we'll be able to cook our breakfasts and lunches for ourselves.
Here's a link to their website: www.kinsmanbarncats.com
Don't forget to get those permission forms in to the church office!
And, don't forget our visit to Mt. Carmel Catholic Church on July 20 at 11:30 a.m.
C-U around,
Pastor D.

Change of Plans. . .
Well, we are still going on a retreat August 8-10, but it will not be at Villa Maria. It's a really nice place, though, and I think it would be a good place for a future event. But, they have a big event the weekend we wanted to be there, and it turns out they won't have space for us, after all. Sooooo. . . I am working on an alternate site. Don't worry-- we will have a place for our retreat! Watch this space.
Pray for a great location for our retreat, and for my sanity as I work out the details.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor D.

Field Trip Update and Retreat Details
Hi Everyone!
It seems like a long time since we visited Congregation Rodef Sholom together!
I hope you are all progressing in your sessions together. Remember, you need to have all five sessions done before Confirmation Sunday, on September 14th!
Our next field trip will be to visit Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church on July 20th--this is a Sunday, but the service at Mount Carmel starts at 11:30, which means that we will have just enough time for me to get out of our service and get over there. Meet at our church at 11:00 (immediately following worship), and we will go over together. We will also be having a meal together following--details to come later.
Retreat is fast approaching! We are scheduled (tentatively) with the Sisters of Humility at their Conference Center in Villa Maria, PA. I am taking a trip to the Center this afternoon to look over the facilities. After that, I will post details up on this blog page. Look in your confirmation books (appendix 7) for information on what to bring, and for your permission forms. We already have one form in-- way to go, Josephine! Get yours in by Monday August 4, or you will not be able to go.
Plan on leaving the church on August 8 in the early evening (5 or 6 p.m.), and arriving home on Sunday August 10 at 1:30 or 2 p.m. As part of our retreat, we will be attending a worship service at Centenary United Methodist Church in Youngstown. Please plan on bringing a nice outfit to wear to church.
Keep on meeting, and as always, Call the office at (330) 652-1439, or e-mail me at: davidmacdonald@mtsoalum.org if you have any questions.
In Christ,
Pastor D.
