The Twin Cities MCC Relief Sale is almost here and many people have been working tirelessly on the sale on behalf of other around the world. The signature "House" quilt has spawned some wonderful ideas including one by our own Lily. It is a wildly creative half-an-hour auction blitz called "Tents to Houses". The goal is to raise enough money to build 12 houses for the victims of cyclone Sidr that hit land in Bangladesh on November 15, 2007.

In the hope of raising even more interest in this cause the Education Commission of Emmanuel Mennonite Church is latching on to this theme and has planned an Intergenerational Bangladesh Sunday School for October 26. One of Emmanuel's strengths is its relationships between youth and adults and this event will give us another opportunity to have fun together while learning about Bangladesh and the gifts this country gives to the world.
There will be a number of centers for a range of interest. Some centers include a video, a computer game, a craft, and yummy food. The refreshment time will be combined with the Sunday School hour to give more time for the activities.
We are looking forward to a fun pack morning with the entire congregation enjoying the spirit of the day!!
