We Need Your Help!

Hey friends. As Ryan and I have sat down and worked on the schedule for the next couple of weeks... yowza. We need some help...
  1. A Party for St. Patrick - Our famous fish and chips fry. Big Sky Brewery has offered to host it (in the actually brewery, woo hoo) - but we're going to need some serious help w/ setup, w/ food prep, w/ cooking, w/ cleanup. If you're available Friday, March 18 and would like to help, could you please email Ryan so we can start building a list.

  2. Ash Wednesday - We'll be offering our yearly Ash Wednesday service next Wed from 7 - 7:30 AM at the Downtown Dance Collective. Small, intimate, reflective... it's a great way to mark the beginning of Lent. We could really use 2-3 people to hang fliers downtown / on campus by this Saturday - contact Christian (529-5568) ASAP.

  3. Woman w/ car trouble - we're trying to help a woman on disability get her car fixed. She has an estimate from a shop. I need someone who can meet w/ her, validate the need (eg. look at the estimate), and contact the shop to figure out how to get them the check from All Souls for repairs. Probably won't take more than an hour total - contact Christian (529-5568).

  4. Weekly updates - Amy's lack of internet connectivity is making it difficult for her to send out the weekly updates; she's looking for someone else to take over this task for a while. Takes about half an hour every week. It's not difficult, but it does take some decent writing ability and attention to detail. Want to help us out in this way - contact Amy / Shanequa (546-3158).

  5. Morning Prayers - we'll be starting up again during Lent! I'd like to find 2 additional houses to host these small, intimate prayers times (we'd like to offer them at 4 different locations this time, each on a different morning). Want to host - contact Christian (529-5568).

  6. Meals for Moms - Nina could really use some more help lining up meals for a brand new single mom - "We need more meals folks and she agreed, if we can, to let us get a bed (for her) and sheets, and a diaper pail, and some light bulbs. We also need folks who can run errands for her once in a while." Want to help out - contact Nina (546-4697).
Every single one of these things is a tangible way to love our city. If everyone pitches in it'll be a piece of cake. If not, it's going to be hard. Would you consider helping?

Thanks so much!
Christian
