A Reading of the Scriptures
When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What is Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?” . . . But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he assured them and spoke kindly to them.
–NIV, Genesis 50:15, 19-21

We will meet here, drive to St. Nicks in Germantown on Friday, October 25th for pizza at 6:00. St. Nicks is right on the way to Markoff's. We will then caravan right up the road to Markoff's.
Tickets and dinner (pizza & salad) are $33/person. Money and permission forms
must be received by Oct. 13. Contact Mother Meg at meg@transfig.org
for information or to sign up.
Chaperones are needed and will pay their own way.
A word about Markoff's. it is intense. I would not encourage the very young or the very squeamish to attend. That being said, there is a huge central bonfire, food and activities area if anyone should get cold feet and not want to go into the forest. We will be sure to have some chaperones who are willing to stay back at the bonfire, for the faint of heart. So, no pressure to do anything that frightens anyone. All that being said, we haven't lost a kid (or chaperone) yet!
