RETURN TO ANGEL AND BEYOND
“…whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it for me”
In prayerful surrender and obedience to the ongoing call of “the still small voice”, we are returning to Queen of Angels Monastery in Mt. Angel, for two weeks at Christmas. We leave on Amtrak on December 19, and return on January 3, 2009. We will spend two weeks in community, prayer and labor with the Benedictine sisters as they continue their 100+ years of faithful service to the migrant farm-worker families in the area. Their ministry includes short-term housing and meals for homeless families, a men’s dormitory for singles, a clothing and food pantry, retreat center, and spiritual direction. We will gratefully accept your generous donations to take with us to assist the sisters in their mission outreach in the Willamette Valley of Central Oregon. We also solicit your continuing prayers as we are currently in conversation with the ELCA World Mission Board about a possible eight week mission placement next summer in Latin America.
