Spring Break Service Trip Information Session January 31st at 11am: Join Rector Helen and Jenn Sanders in the Marriott Dining Room of Peirce Hall at 11am on Tuesday, January 31st to learn more about our short term mission trip. Harcourt Parish and the CCO Ministers are teaming up to offer a short term mission trip to St. Louis March 4th -10th. We hope that this will be an intergenerational trip and all are invited. We will be working with The Bridge homeless ministry as well as talking with the organizers of a new Magdalene Program St. Louis, a community for women with a history of prostitution and drug addiction, based on a program in Nashville. The cost of this trip is underwritten by a College Works grant from the Diocese of Ohio. We expect the cost for individuals to be around $50 per person. Please contact
