From Dave Neithamer and Aaron Orlowski (aka Willy Chili and Paco Taco):
Calling All Chili & Salsa Chefs!

The last four years we held a Chili Cook-Off at Midland’s Open Door and we are planning to hold this again on Wednesday, November 13 during the lunch hour (11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.). Open Door residents consider this event to be one of their favorite events of the year. Please let me know if you would also be willing to provide a crock pot of chili for this event. If you are not sure if you can, I will be sending out a separate request in late October for this outreach event. Thank you so much!

Our high-schoolers are invited to join other Christian youth groups across Midland for a fun skate night at Captain Dave’s Roll Arena. Details and registration are on Realm.

Connecting People to People invites everyone to this tasty event and taco bar taking place in Mayton Hall. CP2P is looking for 12–14 entries for each, and the top two in each win a prize. To enter, contact Dave.

From Dave Neithamer and Aaron Orlowski (aka Willy Chili and Paco Taco):
Calling All Chili & Salsa Chefs!

The Connecting People to People workgroup will be sponsoring the 7th Annual MPC Chili & Salsa Cook-Off to be held on Sunday, October 20 in Mayton Hall at 12:00 noon. We are looking for about 12–14 chilis and a similar number of salsas. As in the past, we are asking that you prepare a large crockpot of chili or large bowl of salsa so there is enough for everyone to taste. The entries will be judged by a distinquished panel of guest judges as well as the congregation, and prizes will be awarded to the top two chilis and salsas for both the People’s Choice and Judge’s Choice. As in the past, CP2P will also be serving a taco bar to supplement the chilis and provide an alternative for those who do not like chili or salsa.

If you would be willing to prepare an entry for this event, please let Dave Neithamer know as soon as possible! We will not have separate categories for spicy or mild chilis this year; we just ask for flavorful chilis. Please don’t make your chili too spicy. Some spice is fine, just no face vaporizer or fire and brimstone chilis please! As in the past, we will provide the small tasting cups (already numbered), spoons, napkins, salsa chips, cheese, etc. Even if you can’t help with an entry this year, we hope you will still come enjoy the event with us. Let’s try to fill Mayton Hall again!

From the PTS Organizers:
Join us at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary or online on October 11 and 12 for the WMI Conference and Don McClure Lecture. This year’s conference will be held under the theme “Mission in the Margins: Lessons and Practices from the Global Church” with Dr. Harvey Kwiyani as our keynote speaker. Dr. Kwiyani is a Malawian theologian currently serving as director of the ACTS 11 Project: Centre for Global Witness and Human Migration at Church Mission Society where he leads academic programs exploring World Christianity, especially in the context of migrations and diasporas. With Dr. Kwiyani’s expertise in the latest trends in mission, we hope this conference will inspire and equip mission leaders like you all to learn from our global partners in mission. In addition to the lecture on Friday evening, we will offer workshops such as “Being Faithful Amidst Suffering: Learning from Palestinian Christians,” “Equipping Unexpected Leaders for Frontline Ministry,” and “Lessons and Practices from Three Decades of Partnership,” global worship opportunities, and an insightful panel discussion on Saturday that will help us see the U.S. Church as some new immigrant pastors and evangelists do.
