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.
