June at the STL CW

We have a lot going on in June! Check out next month’s happenings below and plan on joining us for one of our regular get-togethers at 8617 Mora Ln!

Community Prayer
Wednesday June 4th, 6 PM
Join us for this welcoming and informal time of bringing our joys and concerns to the creator and community.

The Serviceberry - Clarification of Thought Book Club
Thursday June 12th, 6 PM
Read the book or just show up to hear the conversation. This month’s clarification of thought topic will center on Braiding Sweetgrass author Robin Wall Kimmerer’s The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World. From the cover:
The serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, ‘Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.’

Potluck
Sunday June 29th, 5 PM
You can bring a friend or a dish to share, we just hope to see you there.

Upcoming Work Days
June 15th and 29th, 1:30PM
We’ll be catching up on some projects around the community house next month and invite anyone with some extra energy to help us with tasks like building basement shelving and painting our porch. Our work days will start at 1:30 on Sundays June 15th and 29th. You may have noticed the 29th is also the date of our June potluck, we’ll be hanging out working on stuff up until then.

July updates and invites!

  Hi Friends! It's hot out there! You can help us help our friends on the street by donating bottled water, freezer pops, and single sized electrolyte or other drink mixes (such as propel or crystal light). Last summer we had a couple church/community groups run collections and we'd so love to see that again! Drop them by our house at 8617 Mora Ln. or drop us a line at   StLouisCatholicWorker@gmail.com   for pickups of bigger donations. Maybe you can help us keep our house cool too! To avoid running our stove for hours on our burrito service days, we're hoping to experiment with cooking our beans and rice in electric pressure cookers. We think it'll be energy efficient too! Our dream is that a couple of friends out there might have an Instant Pot that they don't often use and would be willing to share, either as a gift or as a long term loan. The bigger the better! Email us at   StLouisCatholicWorker@gmail.com   if you can to help. We also ho...

May 25th Potluck at Tower Grove Park!

The last Sunday of the month usually means StL CW potluck! May is one of the nice times of year to be outdoors in Missouri so we thought we’d gather at Tower Grove Park for this month’s shared meal.  Chrissy is providing the soccer ball! But you can bring a lawn chair or blanket along with your normal dish to share. (Or just come as you are!) We aren’t officially renting a pavilion or picnic site. Instead we're just going to grab a spot and set up some tables somewhere near the Kingshighway entrance to the park. We'll be somewhere west of the New Comfort Station ( here on Google Maps ). You should see us with a couple tables and chairs set up; we'll probably be somewhere in this orange square   Right now the weather can’t fully decide if we’ll be dry Sunday or not. No worries though! Our friend Olivia has offered her nearby apartment in the event of rain! If you think we might not be at the park because of the weather or if you just can’t locate us in the park, text or call...
