we came up with an idea for a "Parent's Night Out"....pooling
resources and purchasing local gift certificate(s) to restaurants and
theatres, my daughter and I would provide the childcare. If you
would like to contribute to the "Night Out" from the church school,
you can respond to this email and let me know what amount you would
like to contribute.....please keep in mind your participation is
completely optional. Donors will be listed on the item during the

Join Our Neighboring Congregations In Welcoming the Stranger - Organizational Meeting January 8, 2009
St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 4 Ocean St., Beverly 7:30-9:00
Asylum seekers are people who have left home because of war, famine, religious or political persecution. RIM offers them community support which is aimed at helping them become productive members of our community. The results of this process are amazing. As one client stated: “You took me from nowhere to somewhere.” Another client insists she would not have survived without her Cluster. RIM also helps resettle refugees who are, like asylum seekers, seeking a safe place to live. Our Cluster assists them from the air port until they are independent.
The North Shore Cluster is expanding and you are invited to become a part of this very exciting ministry. You will work on an interfaith basis with persons from other congregations to offer support services (housing, educational, medical, transportation, acculturation and employment) to asylum seekers until they achieve a durable self-sufficiency.
Please join us on January 8th to learn more!
