We will be using the funds to build our Community
Outdoor/Indoor Kitchen Greenhouse Shelter Pavillion with Rainwater Collection
System. Please share this with others on your email and social network lists
particularly as many of our neighbors do not have internet access here who use
our park at 6005 N. Johnstown Ave. Be a part of the continuous miracle of
renewal in our area. For all the reasons why our area so desperately needs our
Miracle Among The Ruins project, go to http://turleyok.blogspot.com/2012/09/here-is-why-we-at-athird-place.html
Next, Tomorrow Evening Tuesday Sept. 11 at 6 pm we
will have our first orientation session for the Turley area Disaster Response
Network block leaders open to all, with free dinner, at our Community Center,
5920 N. Owasso Ave. Other sessions will be held Sept. 18 and 25th at 6pm, the latter meeting at O'Brien Park.
Finally, this Saturday at the Center 5920 N. Owasso
Ave. is our big Northside/Turley FunFest Benefit Auction Fundraiser to raise the
funds for all of our community projects and partners. Charity Auctioner Jay
Litchfield will be conducting it beginning at 10 am. Great items, lots of office
furniture from law firms donated to us, along with home furnishing, appliances,
building materials, antiques, and a whole library of books and tapes
and Clothing Galore. We will be then transforming the major building housing all
the items into our new Community Kitchen Food Justice Meal Center and Event
Room. Volunteers needed for the auction and funfest on
Saturday.
This Tuesday and Friday our amazing Food Pantry will be serving the community from 9:30 am to Noon. And we have our spiritual counselor, and our Legal Aid Society counselors present as well.
This past Friday our Day of Caring was a huge success as we had volunteers from Hillcrest Hospital working all day in our community garden and orchard park; Legal Aid Society volunteers were organizing our items for the Auction and getting ready our new Community Room; and volunteers from Nordam cleaned the Community Center property. Thank you to them and the United Way.

our 74126 area renewal projects and history and issues; This Thursday at 11:30

will also be hosting a carpentry crew at our community park building a toolshed,
and I will be speaking this Saturday at Suburban Acres Library on 46th St. on
our sustainability and food justice programs and issues. And This Sunday, Sept.

for an ancient/future vision of missional church followed by communion service
and common meal. During the week at 8:30 am, at the Center, we have Morning
Prayer as we move toward building in contemplative worship as a part of the
daily missional life here.
