Vanderbilt vs UT Baseball this Friday, May 15th
by Amy Lynch
We are looking forward to a great time at the ball park this Friday, Vandy vs UT at 6 pm, Hawkins Field. Tickets are $5 and I will be at the outfield gate from 5:30 on, waiting for you all to arrive. If you signed up for tickets, your name and number of tickets is on the list below. Please confirm with me that you want the listed number of tickets (lynchamy@comcast.net) Any extras will be up for grabs so email me if you did not sign up, but now realize it is too good an opportunity to miss. I should have plenty for everyone. As requested, there will be a separate seating area for those partaking of the Frito-Chili-Pie dinner option at the concession stand.

Afghanistan discussion follow up
By Trey Harrell
If anyone has any interest in “reading more about it” after today’s discussion on Afghanistan, I wanted to provide a few links that may be interesting and help folks think about how to get involved.
The Central Asia Institute, founded by the man who wrote “Three Cups of Tea” is here: https://www.ikat.org/
The United Methodist Church seems to be primarily involved on the ground in Afghanistan through the International Assistance Mission: http://www.iam-afghanistan.org/main.htm
They primarily do work related to providing medical care to women and children. You can contribute to to an IAM project through the United Methodist Advance program: http://new.gbgm-umc.org/Advance/projects/search/index.cfm?action=details&id=3020839&code=13352A
But easily the most remarkable website I found is a more general discussion about the importance of young women in the developing world (thanks to the Mortensen website above). Click on this, answer the question, sit back, and watch. http://www.girleffect.org/#/splash/
Hope you find something inspiring!
George Lynch this Sunday
George Lynch leads the discussion this week based on the Faithlink series. There will be a continental brunch as well - feel free to bring light brunch - type items.
