THE STUDENTS ARE BACK! Vestry Member and Oberlin Weekday Community Meals Advisory Committee liaison Dave Giles joined Fr. Andy and sophomore Melaina Magnusson (campus Canterbury Club and Christ Church acolyte) at Oberlin College's Connections Fair on Friday, September 4. It was a great opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces after a long summer and meet new students, to let them know there is a warm and affirming congregation just steps from campus, and to make sure they're aware of the free meal schedule and volunteer opportunities at OWCM!
