Relational Sponsorship
The Outreach Commission invites you to join them on Tuesday, September 14th at 7:00 p.m. in the library to learn about Relational Sponsorship. Darcy Bush, a case manager for Homeless Supportive Services (HSS) of the Lehigh County Conference of Churches will discuss how a small group from our parish can develop a supportive relationship with a chronically homeless man or woman who HSS has recently helped move into an apartment in the community. Darcy will discus the challenges that people used to living on the streets face when they are no longer homeless, and how we can help such a person with friendship, rides, household items (but not financial assistance) to create a home and community. This is an opportunity to be a part of a new outreach ministry so we hope you will come to learn and discern if this ministry might be for you. Refreshments will be served.

First Annual Talent / Silent
Auction and Dinner
Bring us your talents, skills, and connections and help us
successfully launch our 1st annual Talent/Silent Auction and Dinner on Saturday,
November 20th, 2010.
Chili and Pasta Dinner begins at 5:30 p.m.
We at Church of the Mediator are not unfamiliar with the dinner as we will be repeating the Chili Dinner we had last fall. There will be an additional choice for those that do not like Chili. The Talent/Silent Auction is new, but many of you have experienced one at other events. Items in a Talent/Silent Auction can consist of things that are made such as a quilt, specific foods like a dessert, or art work. Items could also be services that are provided after purchase like gardening assistance or beer brewing. Finally, items could be things acquired for the purpose of the auction such as tickets to a sporting event or entertainment, gift cards to restaurants, or vacation packages. We need your help in rounding up these items - so if you have a talent or a skill or just know people at a company that would be willing to donate it for the benefit of the Church of the Mediator, please contact Susan H. (Call the church office for contact information.)
