SUMMARY:Christmas Eve Special Collection for Catholic Worker House
DESCRIPTION:Our traditional Christmas Eve collection will be for the Des Moines Catholic Worker House again thisyear. The collection will help fund remodeling of the Dingman House bathroom. This is the bathroom that guests use and where they can take showers.  In a kitchen sized for a single family\, the staff and volunteers prepare roughly 600-750 pounds of hot food each week. The guests also have access to canned and packaged food\, blankets\, clothing\, and personal hygiene items. \nChecks can be written either to “DMIEC” with “Dingman House bathroom” in the memo line or to “Catholic Worker House Fund” with “Dingman House bathroom” in the memo line. The Catholic Worker House Fund is a 501(c)(3) foundation. If you are not attending the Christmas Eve Service\, please mail checks to DMIEC\, PO Box 30065\, Des Moines\, Iowa 50310. We would prefer that all checks be mailed to DMIEC. If you mail your check directly to the organization\, please inform Susan Barnes of the amount\, if you feel comfortable\, so the Social Justice Committee can get an accurate count of donations.

SUMMARY:Winter Solstice Gathering
DESCRIPTION:(Gathering music begins at 6:45 p.m.) \nAs we approach the Winter Solstice (on December 21)\, we are invited to gather in the stillness\, in the darkness\, among sacred reminders of the rhythms and cycles\, the call and wisdom of all Creation.  There will be music\, poetry\, silence\, an invitation to dance in body or spirit—all\, to honor the darkness\, the light\, the loss\, the cold\, the quiet\, the beckoning of the winter season. \nHosts for the Winter Solstice Gathering are Kay Kopatich\, Morgan Rivers\, and Carmen Lampe Zeitler.  Please let Carmen (carmen.lampezeitler@gmail.com) know by December 14 if you plan to join the gathering.

SUMMARY:First Sunday Collection – Sister Water Project

It helps supply safe water to people of Tanzania and Honduras. Sister Water Project has built more than 450 wells in Tanzania and more than 45 water systems in Honduras. All work is done by volunteers from the villages. The sisters do not charge for administration\, so 100% of donations are designated for the projects. First Sunday donations will be used to build a well in Tanzania. The cost of a well is $5\,500. Wouldn’t it be grand to have a well in Tanzania with “DMIEC” written on it? \nFor more information\, visit  https://osfdbq.org/sisterwaterproject/\nWrite checks either to “Sisters of St Francis” or to “DMIEC” with “First Sunday” in the memo line. \nWrite checks either to “Sisters of St. Francis” or “DMIEC” with “First Sunday” in the memo line.   \nCHECKS SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE December 8th COLLECTION BASKET OR MAILED TO : DMIEC\, P.O.

SUMMARY:Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, November 24 we will have a members Community Conversation (CC) after our prayer service to discuss the feasibility of sharing space with another worshiping community\, such as Downtown Disciples.  Please plan to stay\, whether online or in-person\, to help us work through this issue. \nThe Council would like to thank the members of the Space Sharing committee\, which was borne out of our retreat held in August 2023:  Kathy Eastman\, Martha Gelhaus\, Jean Minahan\, Kathy Olah\, Lars Peterson\, Donna Richard-Langer\, Kathi Sircy\, Ivan Webber\, and Kris Wells.  They have spent countless hours in discussion and research\, with the final report and their recommendation provided in a position paper presented at the Community Conversation on 10/27/2024 and posted on our website\, as part of the notes from that October 27th CC. \nWe need to hear from members about your thoughts\, questions\, and ideas.  At the conclusion of this CC\, we will decide whether to proceed with an online vote.  That vote would allow DMIEC members to proceed with discussions with the Downtown Disciples community for sharing our space. \nIn advance of the CC\, the council is preparing a list of frequently asked questions\, which will be emailed to the membership for study.  Other questions will arise during the CC\, but some questions can be addressed in that FAQ email.

SUMMARY:DMARC Emergency Food Pantries Sunday Special Collection
DESCRIPTION:Our DMIEC community works to address food insecurity issues in the Des Moines metro area via a special collection for the DMARC Emergency Food Pantries on the fourth Sunday of every month. \nThe need is real.  In 2023\, over 65\,000 individuals were assisted\, more than a third of whom were 17 years old or younger.  Nearly one in four City of Des Moines residents used a DMARC pantry.  The daily record for most visits on a day was broken 23 times last year. \nAnd that need has not subsided. The combination of inflated food prices\, an end to COVID benefits\, and lingering pandemic hardships is driving more people to seek assistance at the pantry. \nFor more information\, please visit the DMARC Food Pantries website https://www.dmarcunited.org/food/\nRead DMARC’s most recent quarterly newsletter here. \nHere are two ways to donate: \n\nVia special envelopes available at DMIEC on in-person fourth Sundays. Please write checks to “DMARC\,” include a note with/on your check indicating that you are part of the DMIEC community\, put the check in the envelope\, and put the envelope in the collection basket.\nSend donation checks directly to DMARC. Please write checks to “DMARC” and mail to DMARC at its *new address\,* 100 Army Post Road\, Des Moines\, IA 50315. Please include a note with your check indicating that you are part of the DMIEC community.

SUMMARY:Fall Equinox Gathering
DESCRIPTION:As we approach the Autumn Equinox on September 22\, we are invited to gather to notice again the changing light and shifting energy of the turning of yet another season.  Among sacred reminders of the rhythms and cycles of all Creation\, there will be music\, poetry\, silence\, an invitation to dance in body or spirit—all to honor both the fullness of the season of harvest and the emptiness the harvest opens up for what is to come. \nGathering music begins at 6:45 in advance of the event’s 7:00 p.m. start.  Hosts are Kay Kopatich\, Morgan Rivers\, and Carmen Lampe Zeitler.  Please let Carmen (carmen.lampezeitler@gmail.com) know by September 15 if you plan to join the gathering.
