This morning, Monday, June 18, 2012, Georgetown Ministry Center opened it’s doors at 8 am to dozen happy faces.  This is two hours earlier than our previous time.  It allows more access.  Our new hours are from 8am to 5pm, 7 days a week.

We here at Georgetown Ministry Center have been eager to announce this year’s Spirit of Georgetown location, and now we finally can! Please join us this fall (date still TBD) at the lovely home of Amy and Mark Tercek!

We cannot thank the Terceks enough for graciously opening their doors to us and all of our friends. Please stay tuned for the announcement of the Spirit’s date by checking the Spirit of Georgetown 2012 page, and don’t forget to stay up to date on the progress of this year’s benefit and look fondly back on last year’s benefit on our Spirit Blog!

Help the homeless while sampling great dishes at this year’s Taste of Georgetown on June 2, 2012!

Georgetown Ministry Center will be kicking off this year’s Help the Homeless campaign with Taste tickets and a VIP lounge for those who register. Escape the heat and the crowds during the Taste when you register to participate in Help the Homeless and receive the following perks:

• VIP Lounge: enjoy your tastes in Georgetown Ministry Center with access to seating, refreshments, restrooms, air conditioning, and WiFi

• 3 Taste Tickets: every registrant will receive 3 Taste tickets, a $15 value!

• Skip the ticket line! We’ll be selling tickets at the regular prices, too.

• a Help the Homeless t-shirt

• the great feeling of doing good and helping those less fortunate in your community

Come kick back in our center with GMC staff and friends. All you need to do is register yourself and as many as you can from your party on the Help the Homeless website. Pick up your Taste tickets on June 2 starting at 10:30 am in Georgetown Ministry Center (map and directions). Early birds will beat the crowds and be first in line for the tastes they want!

If you can’t make it to the Taste, you can still register and be a virtual participant. We will be live tweeting the event (twitter.com/gmcgt), so you can still feel like you’re there!

Stay tuned for information about Spirit of Georgetown 2012– Georgetown’s Autumnal Welcome Back soirée! We are currently working on a new Spirit page for our website, but in the meantime, get excited for this year’s benefit by looking at pictures from last year’s!

Monday knitting class, Tuesday house meeting, Wednesday tai chi workshop… the usual programming is only the beginning of everything we have planned for this week. Here’s a little preview:

Wednesday evening, students fromThe Gathering ministry group at Georgetown University will be providing dinner for our guests again. (Click here to read about the last dinner.) This time, they’ll be bringing pizza along with their musical instruments, and they hope to have a jam session with our guests.

On Thursday, Georgetown Ministry Center will be closing at 2pm. We are repainting our walls a happy “Lemon Chiffon” color. Would you like to help? Feel free to drop by; we should be painting until 6 or 7pm. If you can, shoot Stephanie an email (stephanie@gmcgt.org) to let her know you’re coming.

Friday is when we usually show a movie using one of our small computer screens. This week, however, we are showing the movie on a big screen at Georgetown University, where students from The Corp will be providing a delicious, catered lunch.

Stay tuned for recaps and pictures of all these wonderful events!
