Attention all Seniors! We are now accepting applications for the 2008-2009

community and transition away from college life. The perks aren't bad
either! Please submit a resume and a cover letter by the last day of
Winter quarter. Any questions? Contact Estella (cestella@stanford.edu).

professions. Please join us as we celebrate their service.
PRAYER PARTNERS
When good or bad news happens, the rest of the community
would really like to share your joy or support you in difficult
times. We would like to start putting in the bulletin the
names of those who would like us to pray for them and for
their families, for whatever reason. Simple e-mail Chaplain Nancy
Greenfield (nanccas@aol.com) with your information by
Wednesday mornings, and she will make sure it gets in the
bulletin the following Sunday. Let's journey together!
