Ministry with Muhlenberg Students
We have been invited to partner with Muhlenberg College in opportunities for worship, fellowship and ministry to the 60 Episcopal students at the college. The Chaplain, Peter Bredlau, sees this as a way to help Episcopal students stay connected with their Church while they are at college and to have some opportunities for intergenerational community. I am looking for a few people who have a heart for working with college students and would like to work with a couple of Episcopal students to develop a ministry that might involve some activities at the college as well as at the parish, providing hospitality and building relationships. Please call me at 610-434-0155 or e-mail me atrevmariat@verison.net to let me know if you feel called to be involved in this new ministry. Maria Tjeltveit
