Completion of First Year of ARISE @ St. Paul

Dear Friends: We ended the first year of ARISE with an impromtu Pot Luck Dinner at the school hall. It was scheduled quickly to capture the enthusiasm of the ARISE program and bring us together with the sharing of a meal. About thirty people attended and it was enjoyed by all ... somuch so that a few asked about the next one! We started the Friday night dinner at 6 and were all cleaned up and out by 8:30. As Father Rafferty said in his recent bulletin, it is hoped other ministries will do the same. It is not a difficult thing to do with helpful and generous hands assisting.

I am posting the roster of our program this past year. You might have seen it at the back of the Church in poster format. We look forward to another season beginning in September. I will be delighted to answer any questions about ARISE and my email address is: williamwise@gmail.com. We'll plan to kick it off with another Pot Luck Dinner. And this time there will be an announcement in sufficient time for you to make plans to attend.

God Bless
Bill
