A dinner in honor of Bishop Zebedee Masereka of Uganda will be hosted by Bishop Gray III at Chapel of the Cross in Madison in late October. The dinner will be held Saturday, October 30th, at 6:00 pm at the Chapel of the Cross and all are invited to attend .
Bishop Masereka is one of our fellow Anglican communicants, the former Bishop of Uganda, and the founder of the Bishop Masereka Christian Foundation (BMCF) located in Kasese, Uganda.
Bishop Masereka will be travelling in the US for a two month long fund-raising tour visiting the Dioceses that support BMCF and reaching out to other Parishes and Dioceses that might feel a call to mission.
The vision of BMCF is to work towards a region that is free of HIV/AIDS and where every orphaned and vulnerable child attains the best level of education, like any other child. The foundation's mission is to provide programs for HIV/AIDS prevention in the communities in Kasese District and the region, care for people infected by HIV/AIDS and to assist children orphaned by HIV/AIDS with school fees.
Dinner will be on the grounds and/or in the Parish Hall, depending on weather. The dinner costs $18.00 per person and other offerings to support the foundation will be gratefully accepted as well.
Please RSVP (by October 22nd) to insure an adequate number of meals are prepared and also to avoid waste. Proceeds of the dinner will be donated to BMCF. Please RSVP to Tori Lipscomb at 601-352-8377, or by email to reception@bejarch.com.

Chuck Barlow is a communicant at Chapel of the Cross, Madison.
