(2) TEEN SOYO PANCAKE FEED: Our teens have been active this summer, recently visiting Reconciliation Services in KC and volunteering to help them set up their new location. Before that, they visited Oceans/Worlds of Fun. We want them to be able to continue these types of enriching activities, which requires them to occasionally host fundraisers. One such fundraiser will be the Pancake Feed on Sunday, August 25, at Coffee Hour. A free-will donation will be taken. Please be generous with your support of our teens!
(3) ARCHIEPISCOPAL VICAR VISIT: Our new Archiepiscopal Vicar, Fr Calinic Berger, will make an official visit to our parish for our festal weekend. He plans to be with us on Saturday, September 7, for Great Vespers, followed by a meeting with the Parish Council. He will then be with us on Sunday, September 8, for Matins and Divine Liturgy, followed by our festal picnic at Edgemoor Park. Please mark your calendars for this festal weekend now–more details will be coming soon.
(4) PLAYROOM MANAGER POSITION: available at The Treehouse. Needs: bilingual (English and Spanish) individual, available 15 to 20 hours a week, Monday – Thursday, 2 years childcare experience. Please email references and resume to jaleen@wichitatreehouse.org.
