Blessed Are The Peacemakers
Bring Food! Sunday, June 30
On Sunday, June 30, St. Anne is hosting teens and families from the U
lster Project.
The Ulster Project of East Tennessee brings 30 teenagers from Northern Ireland to America each summer. Spread across Knoxville, Oak Ridge, and everywhere in between, the teens live with host families so they can learn about American culture and work to break down barriers between participants of different religions.
The project dates back to the 1970s and has been an important part of the transformation of that land into a place of growing peace. A number of families at St. Anne have participated.
This year, we host them on their very first Sunday. There will be a fellowship meal following the service (the tent will be set up for this). Meat will be provided. However, we need families to bring other dishes in order to complete the meal. There will be a total of around 70 from the Project as well as our own congregation. There is a sign-up sheet in the Narthex with a specific list of needed foods:
Green Beans
Macaroni and Cheese
Potato Salad (or Potato Dish)
Slaw
Green Salad
Chips
Drinks-Fanta (No orange)- Lemonade- Tea
Cookies
Cupcakes
Remember to sign-up this Sunday so that we can be sure we are making proper preparations. But even if you can't sign up - bring a dish to share! Thank you!
