Homeless Prevention Council Forum
Mark your calendars to attend the HPC Forum after the 10 a.m. Choral Eucharist, in the Parish Hall on Sunday, May 31! Tricia Murray, HPC Director of Development and others from HPC will be on hand to discuss their work in our communities and answer your questions about the organization. There will also be information about signing up for and/or donating to HPC’s Walk for Home on June 20 as well.
Let’s Finish This
During Sunday worship you met Owena, who is in the 3rd grade at Goll Farm School. Owena and her 209 schoolmates are grateful for the support provided by St. Christopher’s. They yearn to learn. We are about $6,500 short of our $20,000 goal with our scholarship campaign window closing rapidly. Please consider making a significant difference by donating what you are able to keep our kids in school. Click here to make a secure online donation. With Gratitude, Peter Hughes, Chair, Together With Africans Committee

On behalf of our 18 pantry volunteers we thank you for your continued consideration as we aim to assist those experiencing food insecurity. Peter and Linda Hughes, Managers.
