Teachers Needed in Paraguay

Teachers needed in Paraguay. Looking for an opportunity to serve cross-culturally without having to learn another language?

One is a private Christian school for MKs and the other is a private secular school for Paraguayan children. Email Melody Istrati.

Photo Finish

The front page photo of yesterday's Inquirer (of a woman crossing the finishing line) was shot by Tenth member Abi Reimhold. Her Dad participates in triathlons, but she shoots them!

Prayer Clarification

I want to clarify what could have been misconstrued in my sermon about prayer. I noted how we as Christians can use prayer language loosely, to the point that we say "pray for me" and "I'll pray for you" as mere conversation starters and endings. Nevertheless, it is good to ask for prayer and to assure that we will pray. My point is that prayer is the activity we all assume is what we ought to be doing, so much so that we rarely admit to ourselves that we do little of it even as we make so much reference to it.

So, ask for prayer; say that you will pray; but be sure to pray!

Pop Up Garden

I am too late posting an invitation to the PHS Pop Up Garden opening, but you still can still visit this urban garden located on the empty lot of the 1900 block of Walnut. Click here for more info.

Dawn's Place

The Inquirer has an article about Dawn's Place, sort of a Philadelphian version of the work we support in Ghana that rehabilitates prostitutes.
