Unpack your Halloween costumes for the annual Stewardship Dinner on Sunday, October 23rd! Once again, children and adults alike are invited to attend in costume and to enjoy an evening of pumpkin carving and barbecue. Sides and desserts are to be provided by those attending.
The Stewardship Dinner is a congregational tradition – an evening of
fun and fellowship that kicks off our annual campaign to encourage members to
pledge their time and talents as well as their financial support for the church’s
ministry.
Our guest speaker, John Lienhard, will keep his topic in theme with the evening:
Frankenstein, Faust, and Pygmalion: In Which the Public Invents the Mad Scientist.
For those very few of us who do not find ourselves stuck in traffic, with only Dr. Lienhard’s entertaining broadcasts on PBS to keep us sane, he is the author and voice of The Engines of Our Ingenuity. Dr. Lienhard is M.D. Anderson Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering and History at the University of Houston, known for his research in the thermal sciences as well as in cultural history. He is an Honorary Member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.
For his work on Engines, Dr. Lienhard received the ASME Ralph Coates Roe Medal for contributions to the public understanding of technology, the 1991 Portrait Division Award from the American Women in Radio and Television, and the 1998 American Society of Mechanical Engineers Engineer-Historian Award. He was also named one of five finalists from among the 1,300 entrants in the 1993 New York Festival International Radio Competition.
With a wonderful speaker, wonderful food, and wonderful kickoff to our Stewardship Campaign, we need only the wonderful addition of your presence.
