Want to sing this summer?

Summer Singers is a pick-up choir that forms each Sunday during the summer to learn and sing special music for that morning’s worship. The group gathers in the music room at 9:45 am for a quick warm-up, and then prepares an offertory anthem to share at the 10:30 am nave service. Singers of all ages and skill levels are welcome to join the Summer Singers each Sunday continuing through the first week in September, or on any Sunday you are available!

Questions? Contact Anne Timpane.

Celebrate the 4th of July with the Refugee Response Ministry!
When: Monday, July 4th at 7 pm at the National Cathedral
 
This past Saturday more than a dozen volunteers welcomed the Afghan families we are sponsoring with a picnic in St. Columba’s courtyard. Look at all the smiling faces! 
 
Would you like to join our 4th of July celebration? We’ll be gathering with the Afghan families at 7 pm on the grounds of the National Cathedral to watch the fireworks. Fireworks begin at nine. You may want to bring a picnic blanket, some camp chairs, snacks, and non-alcoholic beverages. Catherine Bruno will stake out a spot for us. Contact Catherine Bruno (sheehanbruno@yahoo.com) for additional details.

The three Afghan families we are sponsoring continue to thrive and adjust to life in America. Finding employment is key to their success. Can you help?
 
One father has 13 years of IT experience. His English is proficient, he's legal to work, and intelligent. Do you have a connection to an IT department that might consider him? Do you know of an open position?

One mother has the cooking skills that could lead to a catering business. Can you help with this pursuit? Developing a brochure, getting the word out, and figuring out logistics will all be needed.

If you can help in these searches for employment please contact Keri Piester (keri.piester@gmail.com) or Shelly Gehshan (sgehshan@gmail.com) to offer your ideas. Working together will lead to success.

The playground will be open, so kids can explore while enjoying the music.
SCAP 2022 is underway!

Please keep our youth and leaders in your prayers for continued safety.
