Youth Group Field Trip -
September is Hunger Action Month at the Greater Chicago Food Depository!
Youth Group kicks the year off by offering a field trip to the Greater Chicago Food Depository ( www.chicagosfoodbank.org ). Our scheduled time for Kids Day is Saturday, September 18th from 1:30-3:30pm. The facility requires that one adult accompany each child, so this will be a field trip WITH your child!
It should be a lot of fun and interesting for the kids. A little background: all food donated to the CFD is inspected, sorted, repacked and labeled for distribution to agencies by volunteers and employees who operate out of the CFD’s food bank. Kids Day is a “food repack” during which volunteers repack bulk products to individual/family sizes, assemble boxes with assorted food, check expirations dates, and label products.
If you’d like to be included in the St. Matthew’s Youth Group trip to CFD, please reply to laurel2322@comcast.net. I need to confirm the group size by Wednesday, September 8th. Please contact me if you and your child plan to attend or if you have any questions. We’ll try to organize a carpool. I have directions if you’d like to meet us there.
A note to parents of 5th graders: Due to restructuring of the children’s formation program, this year 5th graders will be included in the 6th/7th/8th middle school group.
Search Committee Update - July 18, 2010
A quick note to let the community know that the search committee has received many applications for the position of Rector here at St. Matthew’s. Our search has brought in candidates from all over the country and we are very happy with the pool of candidates. However – we are seeking to increase our pool of applicants and have been contacting additional individuals and institutions in the Episcopal world to help bolster our application count.
