Prayers of the People-Parish Supported Ministries
Have you noticed that each week in the prayers of the people, a parish supported ministry is listed? What are these parish supported ministries? These are community organizations which are supported by your financial contributions to The Chapel of the Cross. One of the roles of the Outreach Ministry Committee (OMC) is to recommend to the vestry the disbursement of funds based on grants requested of our parish. This also includes money raised by the ABC sale. Another role of the OMC is to educate the parish regarding the needs of community. You can find a bit of information about this organization below. Watch for the blurb and pray with us!
Augustine Project
The mission of the Augustine Project is to improve the reading, writing and spelling abilities of low-income children and teens who struggle with literacy skills. The project trains and supports volunteer tutors who provide free, long term 1-to-1 instruction. The Augustine Project, based at Holy Family Episcopal Church in Chapel Hill, also offers teacher training opportunities. They welcome the applications of volunteers willing to assume this worthy commitment. A number of parishioners participate in this program, and the parish perennially participates in its funding.
Faith and Global Hunger
Tune in to a nationally-syndicated radio series in support of the UN Millennium Development Goals. Listen anytime at Day1.org. Copies of last week’s sermon by Bishop Curry are available on the Christian Formation bulletin board in the dining room.

Wave of Prayer
Our parish has supported the efforts of Sabeel, Jerusalem and Friends of Sabeel, North America over the years and hosted both directors, Rev. Naim Ateek and Rt. Rev. Ed Browning. Sabeel is an ecumenical grassroots liberation theology movement among Palestinian Christians. Inspired by the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, this liberation theology seeks to deepen the faith of Palestinian Christians and to promote unity among them toward social action. Sabeel strives to develop a spirituality based on love, justice, peace, nonviolence, liberation and reconciliation for the different national and faith communities. Each Thursday at noon, Sabeel, Jerusalem holds a communion service. You are invited to become a part of a prayer chain encircling the globe by joining in prayer at noon each Thursday asking for peace with justice in Israel-Palestine.
