Fundraiser for Japanese earth quake and tsunami victims

So a suggestion was made on Sunday to have a fund raiser for Japanese earth quake and tsunami victims. In Sunday School we decided to hold a coffee house with all proceeds going to the victims.


So I was brain storming about what needs to be done.

1. Organization - we will need folks to help organize. I think this could be a big event for Skaneateles - if we want to are willing to put the work in!
2. Location - initially I thought of the parish hall, and then thought maybe a local business might be willing to host. We don't know until we ask! Right?
3. Food - bake sale "like" offerings from parishioners, possibly donations from local businesses? We don't know until we ask! Right?
4. Music - Our parish has lots of talented people, but maybe we can open this up to other local talent? We don't know until we ask! Right?
5. Set up and clean up crews, that's us! Plus more folks will be needed if because this is gonna get big!
6. We need to think about where we will send the fund, i.e. what organization will we choose to distribute the funds we raise.

More to come!

Video Project

Well seems like we are a bit slow getting things going 'round here on the blog. So here is an update:
St James HS Sunday School Video project topic: Moses!

Moses Striking the Rock GREBBER

Yep the decision came down to one vote, runner up was Joseph. Now I'm preferential to Joseph as I was once in a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. No, not on Broadway (but I do appreciate the nod to my awesome acting and vocal skillz.)  I was in a production at the church I grew up in, St Lukes Episcopal over in Camillus.

Now the hard work fun begins!

We will be deciding on which parts of Joseph's Moses' life we will be including in the video. Last week we took a very little bit of time looking at the Book of Exodus.  Hopefully we can get down to a reasonable number of events to include in the video this Sunday.

Sunday School 1/9/11

This morning we discussed which Bible story we would like to create our video of.

We also discussed some diocesan opportunities, and opportunities at St. James.

Please look out for a poll on the blog where you can vote on the story that we will use!
