The Young Swedish Singers in Concert Wednesday, June 15, 2011 7:00 p.m. Holy Cross Lutheran Church 600 N Greenwich Road Wichita, Kansas
Make sure you have reserved June 15, 2011 when The Young Swedish Singers will present a concert at HOLY CROSS LUTHERAN CHURCH (600 N. Greenwich Road). This outstanding youth choir consisting of Swedish Lutheran Youth from southern Sweden, has raised not only their airfare but the cost of their charter bus in order that freewill offerings and income from CD’s can benefit Shepherd’s Canyon Retreat, a ministry providing counseling retreats for Protestant clergy (and spouses) who are experiencing personal and congregational conflicts.

We are looking for housing for the Captive Free team members for the week of VBS. They will arrive on Saturday July 16th and leave Friday after VBS or early Saturday morning.
Here is a brief description of what is involved in housing team members: 1) Housing for the nights they are in town; 2) Breakfast and dinner and 3) Possibly transportation to and from Grace.
We will need housing for 3 females (One has severe allergies to cats, dogs, cinnamon, and mushrooms) and 2 males. Host families will be invited to a dinner at church on Saturday July 16th.
If you will be able to help house 1 or more team members please let the church office know or contact Linda Freed (Freedlm@cox.net – 945-7657 – 253-2872)
We are also looking for an individual to coordinate the lunches for team members (and possibly youth helpers) each day after VBS. This would involve arranging for individuals or groups to provide 5 lunches.
