EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES __________________
YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING, TODAY, MAY 4
The YAC will meet in the conference room following the service.
___________________________
PILGRIMAGE OF CAREGIVING: TODAY
Following the 8:15 and 10:15 services the Reverend Stephen Shepherd
will lead a discussion on caregiving covering both the practical
and the spiritual aspects. This would be a wonderful opportunity to
invite a friend to church who is currently dealing with caregiving
issues as a spouse, a child, or in any context. Reverend Shepherd
is currently the chair for the Committee on Aging in the Diocese of
Virginia.

MAY BOOKWORMS TO MEET MAY 9
Our selection for May 9th is "Love in the Time of Cholera" by
Gabriel Garcia Marquey. The time and place of this novel is the
"steamy backwater of coastal Colombia of nearly a century ago." It
is a love story of two people over a period of more than fifty
years. And yes, it is a major motion picture. We will meet as usual
the second Friday of the month, May 9th, at 1:30 PM in the
conference room nest to the office. See you then. Helen Vogel

TONGUES OF FIRE CHILI COOK-OFF, MAY 11!
It's time to bring out your favorite chili recipe or conjure up a
new concoction as we gear up for one of St. Dunstan's most beloved
culinary traditions, our annual Chili Cook-off. Prepare to meet
serious and tasty competition as you imagine the glory of winning
the coveted Chili-Cook-off-Champion tee shirt and joining the
hallowed ranks of St. Dunstan's winners from the past. May 11 is
also Mother's Day, so what better way to start celebrating than by
enjoying chili and all the "fixins'" with your St. Dunstan's
family? Look for a sign up sheet in the vestibule and be sure to
bring an index card naming your chili (be creative!) and don't
forget, bring a friend.
