Other News 

ADVOCATE SURVEY!

Attached is a survey for our life and liturgy together. If you have
participated in the liturgy of the Advocate in the past season, please take
a few minutes to fill it out and send it back to John-Charles Duffy
<jcduffy at email.unc.edu> by email ‹ or print it out and fill it out and send
it to the Advocate PO Box (PO Box 9, Carrboro, 27510). By August 6.


ADVOCATE TABLE FELLOWSHIP ‹ A PARADIGM SHIFT

Attached are guidelines for our new paradigm for table fellowship ‹ set to
begin August 20. 
In the weeks ahead, all who participate regularly in the Table Fellowship
are asked to become part of a Table Group.
As of last Sunday, we have six groups formed. We¹re hoping for two more.
Each group will be responsible for one entire meal ‹ cooking, set-up and
clean-up ‹ one Sunday out of every 8 (or 9). If we have 8 or 9 groups, we
will have dinner every week.

Key to this model is that any one person will only serve once in a two month
period. If there is no group assigned to a given Sunday, we¹ll enjoy
fellowship, but not dinner. If an individual can¹t serve on the Sunday
assigned, she or he can work it out with others in the group, or arrange to
swap with someone in another group for that Sunday.

So get together with some others you know and form a group of five (or six).
Or sign up to be in a group of others you don¹t yet know. Washing forks
together is a great way to bond!
If you are able to particpate, please contact our intern, Sarah Woodard.

The blessing of God,
The eternal goodwill of God,
The shalom of God,
The wildness and the warmth of God,
Be among us and between us
Now and always. Amen.
