Workshop:
Relationships 101 - Building
Healthy Relationships St. Edward's Church 9401 Nesbitt Avenue South Bloomington |
Back
in October, Karl Mulle, M.Div., M.A.C.P, spoke to us about "Why Women
are so Strange and Men so Weird". We received a lot of positive
feedback and asked Karl if he would speak to us again. This time the topic is Relationships 101 - Building Healthy Relationships. Karl will discuss communicating effectively, understanding relationship styles, working effectively with others, emotional intelligence, etc. There will be a lot more time for questions too. It will be like "Stump the Therapist". You can either ask them during the discussion or fill out a card anonymously in the back of the room and drop it into the question box. Although there will be a handout, we recommend bringing a pen with to take notes. Should be interesting again! Karl is a great speaker and we are sure that if you attend you will learn a thing or two and definitely laugh! You will also see some new faces since we anticipate 150+ people to attend. We ask that everyone bring food or personal hygiene items to donate to a local food shelf as the price of admission. SVTC is donating the food/hygiene products to VEAP which is an organization that runs a food shelf for low-income families in the South Metro area. SVTC will be picking up the cost of the workshop. We need about 15 - 20 volunteers to bring refreshments (bars, cookies, brownies, muffins, donuts, cartons of juice, bottles of cold pop, etc). We ask that you arrive at 8:30am so people have time to get some refreshments before Karl begins. If you can help out with this, please contact Cindy at cmcald@mninter.net Directions: From 494, go South on Normandale Blvd. At 94th Street take a right. Go down about 2 - 3 blocks and you will see the church (won't see a sign but you cannot miss the church). Take a left into the parking lot. Go in the center doors, go up the stairs, place donations to the left of stairs, and the social hall will be to the right of the stairs. We will start promptly at 9am so set your alarm clocks! Also, there may be road work on 494 (closure or detour near Penn Ave) so plan accordingly. If you need directions from other locations, please go to www.mapquest.com. If you have any questions that are not answered above, contact Nancy by Tuesday Jan 15th (away from email after that) at svnancy@aol.com Please send your RSVPs to Wendy at laxie@minn.net by Tuesday, January 15. |

Join us for the 3rd annual volunteer
appreciation event, featuring a short volunteer recognition program and dance
- with live
music by The Magpies and Lift. Admission: $10.00
The Magpies combine guitars, accordion, keyboards, bass and percussion with three part vocals, giving this arty trio access to some of the best music of the world. The Magpies musical flight will bring you echoes from the cafe accordions of Paris, the lush jungle rhythms of Brazil, the foot stomping cantina songs of Mexico as well as tie-dyed harmonies of Woodstock and the 1960's. They also invite us to lend our voices or a bit of percussion to the performances of musical gems from The Beatles, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Byrds and other timeless vocal groups. When the five-some, Lift, takes the stage, you can't help but get caught up in the energy and pulsating beat of those "I just gotta' dance" songs we all loved from the 80's - songs from John Cougar Mellencamp, the Go-Go's, the Romantics, Bonnie Raitt, Georgia Satellite, the Bodeans, Joan Jett, Marshall Tucker and others. Walk-ins are welcome! RSVP's are NOT necessary. However, if you want to RSVP :
