The Property Committee will meet again on Thursday, October 11 at 12:00. We need additional members to coordinate maintenance and repairs around the building and grounds. If you help take care of your own home you can help us take care of our second home – St. Thomas’s. We look forward to seeing you!
If you have questions, please contact Jerry Schultz at schultz@udel.edu or Amy Keach at iloveoregon@hotmail.com.
Blue Hen Bounty, ECM’s and St. Thomas’ food pantry for U of D students, is in need of food for the fall semester-especially instant food like Easy Mac, canned tuna, and other instant one-serve meals, snacks such as crackers and granola bars, and non-perishable breakfast foods. Please bring your contributions to the stage in the Great Hall.
It’s that time of the year when all ministries should re-submit their request for use of the building various spaces. Please fill out a “pink sheet” and put it in Wendy Campbell’s mailbox at your earliest convenience. Do it today so you will have the space you desire. Thank you to all ministries who have already submitted their pink sheets for the coming program year.

The first rehearsal of our Choir starts tonight, Thursday, Sep. 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the Choir Room. There is not an anthem scheduled for this coming Sunday, so this rehearsal will be a somewhat relaxed, get acquainted with new music time. If any of you would like to join the group just to see what it is like, I warmly invite you.
I will be in the Choir Room at 6:00 p.m. in case anyone wants to come a little early to do a little practice singing with me to get an idea what voice part he or she might be.
Rehearsals are usually over by 9:00.
Cheers!

Thank you. Sally Price <sallyeymanprice@gmail.com>
The Episcopal Campus Ministry (ECM), based at St. Thomas’s, Newark, would like to reach out to fellow Episcopalians who will be attending the University of Delaware this fall. Continuing ECM students, student advisors, and members of St. Thomas’s would like to invite them to Wednesday worship and meals, welcome them to prayer and reflection, and introduce them to a ministry of learning and service at the very edge of the university campus.
Come for a free supper, stay for the community!
Please send student names, contact information, and school-year addresses you may have to Ms. Denise Burgher, St. Thomas’s ECM Convening Advisor and to the Rev. Ed Godden, Interim Rector.
