Dear friends,
We hope that many of you will be able to join us this week on Thursday for a special introduction and commissioning of our two new Metanoia Semester participants, Alicia and Youssef. At the Roundtable on Thursday evening, 6pm, we will formally welcome Youssef and Alicia into the GCW house community for the next four months and it is always a nice time to share with them a little about your experience in living/volunteering at the GCW, giving them advice, and blessing them for the months ahead. Join us if you can at 6pm on Thursday and please bring a dish to share if possible.
Thanks to the great students from Holy Faith Catholic Church’s confirmation class for hosting this past Sunday’s cafe. Jon Meinholz and his students have been coming regularly since we opened the house four years ago and they always are a wonderful group.
Look for more information below on the rest of this week’s activities.
