Dear friend in Christ,

We previously sent out an e-mail for an upcoming event, but this mailing effort resulted in many not receiving this message. So this is a re-try. IF YOU ALREADY GOT OUR MESSAGE EARLIER, please pardon our sending you a "duplicate". The purpose of this more recent effort is to help ensure that EVERYONE on our list gets this invitation. Thank you for your understanding (to keep things simple, we are providing a text-only edition here).

Please read the REVISED invitation BELOW to a reception for Fred and Carol Schaeffer who have a ministry to Aboriginal communities in Australia and Asia. The event is on September 21st at 3:00pm (please note the DATE AND TIME CHANGE from the 17th at 4:00pm) at Brad's home, to enjoy some river activities/fun and an update from their ministry to support their programs.

Please rsvp via email: frs@pray4acts.org or cell: 781-460-3667

If you cannot attend and would like to send a gift, please send to the corrected address: A.C.T.S., @ Barbara Parsons, 1067 Washington Street, Gloucester, MA 01930
