All Together Now

The September issue of Together was mailed last week. We hope you like the new three-column format, and find the cleaner design  easier to read, especially for those with visual challenges. 


As always, if you'd like to read Together online, you can find it at the Church of the Holy Spirit website.  You'll find it under the heading Newslettter/Calendars.

Tanzania Mission Talk Rescheduled!

Please note:  

the program on 

Cheryl Kyle's mission in Tanzania 

has been changed to  

Wednesday, September 8, 2010.

Due to logistical changes, the program, which was originally planned for this Wednesday, August 25, at  4:00 p.m., has been rescheduled. We hope you'll join us on  September 8, to hear about the work the church is doing with our brothers and sisters in Christ in Tanzania.

For the last 18 years, Cheryl Kyle, a summer parishioner at the Church of the Holy Spirit, has worked as a long-term missionary, living in Tanzania for three years, and for the last 12 years as a short-term missionary to the Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro, Arusha, Tanzania. Her work focuses on clean water and education.

Cheryl will share her thoughts on her journey and the work she is doing.  Currently, she works with the Maasai in a remote village which is a bumpy two-hour ride in the bush outside of Arusha. Cheryl's  presentation includes a short DVD about the primary school where more than 200 children are now receiving an education.

We're rummaging around for donations!

Does the end of summer give you an  itching to clean out your garages,your attic...or even just your closets?

If so, please keep the CHS Fall Rummage Sale in mind;  set your items aside for the big event on October 15 and 16. This is a valuable fund-raising event for the Parish -- and it's lots of fun, too!

Please remember, we are only able to accept clean items, including:

Clothing (all seasons, for both adult and children)

White Elephant finds

Small appliances in working order

Small furniture pieces

Toys and Books

Unfortunately, we cannot accept televisions, computer equipment, luggage, golf and ski equipment, LP records, food or live plants.

We are grateful for your kind donations. Remember,  if you need to have your items picked up or stored, we can help! Just call Sue Sasso before September 30. You can reach Sue at 508-255-1732.
