Faith Based Outreach Meeting

Mark your calendars and please RSVP! Our FBO group will be meeting in two weeks at 11:30am on Friday, February 20, at The Mission, 2525 East Lindsey. Thank you to Dr. Mike Butler for the invitation and for providing lunch. If you are planning to attend, please notify Heather Bedle or Judith Coker by Tuesday, February 17

In addition to hearing about The Mission's plans for expanding their campus and helping even more people, Dan Straughn, retired (sort of)  Executive Director of Oklahoma City's Homeless Alliance, and Lynne Miller will be with us to talk about the Home Together Norman campaign to pass the bond issue for a new permanent homeless shelter. The vote will be on April 7 and getting the "yes" vote out will be critical and we can all help.

Last, please take a minute to look at the list of people receiving this email and let me know of any corrections so we can keep it updated and accurate. Are there churches or organizations engaged in helping people in need who should be invited to our meetings? Have there been staff or ministry changes that we can update? Please let me know! We went to a BCC list a year or so ago, which I totally supported, but there is so much good information to share that I wonder if anyone objects to returning to a displayed list of names and emails, at least during the next few months. 

Thank you all for your devotion to serving all of God's children,

In the light of Christ,

Lisa Schmidt,filling in temporarily for the great Andrea Marler
