Ministry with Muhlenberg Students
We have been invited to partner with Muhlenberg
College in opportunities for worship, fellowship and ministry to the 60
Episcopal students at the college. The Chaplain, Peter Bredlau,
sees this as a way to help Episcopal students stay connected with their
Church while they are at college and to have some opportunities for
intergenerational community. I am looking for a few people who
have a heart for working with college students and would like to work
with a couple of Episcopal students to develop a ministry that might
involve some activities at the college as well as at the parish,
providing hospitality and building relationships. Please call me
at 610-434-0155 or e-mail me at revmariat@verison.net
to let me know if you feel called to be involved in this new
ministry.
