What We Should All Know About PovertyEvery Monday in June 6:30-8:00 p.m. Larry Coulter teachingAs a church, we are heavily invested in ministry to the poor. It is the work to which Christ has called us. Starting tomorrow, the What Every Church Member Should Know About Poverty class will begin to stretch our thinking as we wrestle with the tough questions of “helping”. We will use the workbook of the same name, by Bill Ehlig and Ruby Payne, to guide our discussion. If you are trying to live out Christ’s call to be a light to the world this class will poke the hard questions and provide answers. I hope you will join us in the William Cannon library.

Our Next Refugee Family is On the WayWe will be sponsoring a new refugee family of seven, arriving in Austin from Egypt on June 10th.

We are in the midst of collecting furniture and household goods, and we still need the following:

• Dining room table and chairs• Dressers • End tables • Twin beds • Twin sheet sets• Maps• Desk items such as calendars• Gift cards to Wal-Mart or HEB

cleaning out closets and drawers right now, please check with us before you take that load to Goodwill!In addition to collecting items, we need folks to

• Help haul items to the apartment • Set-up the apartment,• Buy groceries, (you will be reimbursed)• Buy household goods, toiletries, etc.

(you will be reimbursed)• Meet them at the airport and drive to

the apartment that night…will need two or three parties to assist with this

occasionally, etc.Contact Cathy Beard. 512-589-5634, beardfamily@austin.rr.com.
