You are invited to join a rather large and diverse group of Peace friends and family for a monthly dinner. If you are interested in receiving an email about when and where we are going, please send an email to gerri.west@peaceaustin.org. You will be added to the list and can choose whether to attend or not on a monthly basis. You don’t need to be a Peace member to join the group. We usually meet at a local restaurant at 7 PM on the 3rd Friday for fun-filled conversation, dining and fellowship. Occasionally, we meet at a local home for a Potluck Dinner or we meet on a Saturday afternoon. On January 19, we’re either eating at Almarah (Mediterranean) or Carrabba’s (Italian). It will be finanlized by January 13, so sign up and list your preference if you want to attend. We’re looking forward to seeing you!

This first exchange will be on Jan.14th at 2 pm. Cindy will have 7 stations where people can prepare their recipes. Once cooked, the food will be packaged and each person will take home 7 different meals for the week! Please bring recipe, the required food to prepare, and containers for packaging the recipe.

As we near the annual celebration of the life of Martin Luther King Jr. we would like to honor him with a day of service. This year we have looked internally to members of our own congregation who could use some help. This may include:
1. housework,
2. maintenance, or
3. yard work.
