Cursillo is a way to deepen your faith with others on a spirit-filled weekend. The Diocese of Crookston is sponsoring a Women’s Cursillo on the weekend of October 1-4, 2015 at Sand Hill Lake Bible Camp south of Fosston.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program begins in the Fall. Do you want to join the Church, or do you know someone who does? Are you a cradle Catholic who wants to learn more about your Faith? RCIA can help. To learn more, contact Deacon Dean at [email protected] or (701) 630-2547.

Bright Sky Garden is currently in its sixth week and is progressing very nicely. Volunteers, community members, and residents of Churches United shelter come to the garden once a week to nurture it. We meet every Thursday from 3:00-6:00 on our 34th St. property. We would very much enjoy seeing you at the community garden on Thursdays! The tools are all provided and there is always a job for everyone. Refreshments are shared shortly after 4:00. If you have any questions please email Akira at [email protected].

Dorothy Day House is in need of people to plan and prepare family-style evening meals for 15 people at the shelter; dinner is served at 6 pm all 7 days of the week! Meals must be made on-site or at a location with a commercial kitchen (i.e. church, business, etc.). Volunteers are welcome to join us for dinner, and we ask that groups be no more than 4-5, as we have limited space in our home. We have a stove/oven, grill, pots/pans/utensils, condiments, and beverages to supply. If you are not able to prepare something on-site, you could bring a bag of groceries and your favorite recipe, and the staff/guests can prepare the meal.

Coming together for dinner is so important to us! We have the following days available: July 14-15, 17, 23-24, 26-27, and 31; August 2-7, 9, 11-12, 14, 22-24, 27-31. Contact Sonja at 233-5763 or [email protected] to get on the schedule or for more information. Thank you!
