SCHOOL FOOD PANTRY UPDATE
Starting in September, the United Way, Second Harvest Food Bank and St. John's (with the help of the Diocesan grant from ECS, Episcopal Community Services, and hopefully other organizations will join us) will hold a monthly Food Pantry at Taft School on the South Side. Plans for a pantry at Williamson School have been put on hold due to the resignation of the school principal, whose replacement has not yet been named.
As part of our sponsorship of the pantry, we have been asked to supply four to six volunteers each month, to register families and help them transport food boxes to their car.
The pantry will take place on the
third Tuesday of each month during the school year, beginning
September 20. The food will be delivered at 2:30 PM and families can pick it up between
3 and 5 PM.
Please let Liz Wrona
([email protected])
or Gayle+ know if you can help with the pantry. And let us know if you have questions too!

SEPTEMBER 4 CHRIST CHURCH, WARREN
Join us as we welcome back recording artist Bobby Jo Valentine for a free Labor Day weekend concert!
You are invited to a FREE Concert at Christ Church Warren, Sunday September 4, 2016 at 7:00pm! Christ Church Warren, is located at 2627 Atlantic ST NE Warren, Ohio 44483.
Bobby Jo Valentine is a singer/songwriter who chases after this particular kind of music. He writes songs that travel light, but that "grow deeper and deeper with each further listen", the music publication Soundtrack to My Day describes. The poetic nature and focus of his stories and songs is something that, along with notable awards, has resulted in an incredibly loyal following of true patrons to his art, supporting Bobby in every way as he seeks to write more music that means something good, and sounds like the beautiful, terrifying world that we live in.
Hope-folk. Soul-pop. Poetic rock. Bobby Jo Valentine's music exists outside the lines of any genre, but the music's thoughtful lyrics and catchy melodies reach listeners on all paths of life. The authentic, universal, uncanny nature of his songs have won him Songwriter of the Year at West Coast Songwriter's Association twice - in 2011 and 2015. He's sold 16,000 albums and performed more than 500 concerts-all without a record label-and all because of devoted groups of fans and friends who grow in number after every concert.
His wide range of expression has made it hard for the industry to package, but it's the same reason his songs are gaining a loyal following around the nation. A few songs have broken through the static. Bobby's music has appeared on radio and television, including a commercial for the recent Ford Fusion ©, ABC's The Morning Blend, and the award winning film The Groom's Cake. His music has received airplay from KGO, KRSH, and other radio stations nationwide.
Born into a Baptist church of strict lines and sharp edges, and coming out of that culture to discover who he really is, Bobby is now a believer of a different sort: a believer in the wild, strange, beautiful nature of the world. Faith has come to mean something much deeper, wider, and less cut-and-dried than when he started.
