Service About EQG History: Everybody's Quilt Guild began in October 1987 by a group of women who wanted to share their love of quilting. Guild members met in the individual homes of the members until they started growing. As the guild grew, it became a charter member of the National Quilting Association. Today, Everybody's Quilt Guild is still growing and has over eighty active members. Meetings & Membership: Everybody's Quilt Guild meets the first Wednesday of each month to conduct the business of the guild, engage in fellowship, and share quilting news and information. The meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. at St. John Portico on Monroe in Westminster, MD. Anyone interested in the guild is invited to attend a maximum of two meetings as a guest before becoming a member. Membership dues are $30.00 per year. A mid-month meeting is held on the third Wednesday of each month. This meeting is open to all who wish to participate in additional guild activities. Programs & Workshops: Our monthly meetings are designed to educate members in new as well as traditional quilting techniques and to promote the art of quilting in all of its forms. In addition to our regular monthly meetings, the guild sponsors several hands-on workshops throughout the year covering a variety of quilting techniques and related subjects. Events & Community Outreach: One of the big events that Everybody's Quilt Guild hosts is a Miniature Quilt Bingo held every year in the spring. It is a fun evening for guild members and guests. The guild also hosts a bi-annual quilt show. The quilt show, "Fall Harvest of Quilts" is held in the beginning of October during even numbered years.

Every three months a few names are announced and a stipend is given to those members to purchase fabric. The member then puts their fabric and directions into kits and lets other members of the guild take and put them together to make a block.

Name St. Stephen's Classical Christian Academy St. Stephen's Reformed Episcopal Church 2275 Liberty Road, Eldersburg, Maryland Mailing 2275 Liberty Road, Eldersburg, Maryland Phone Fax [email protected] Web 1 Office Hours Mon-Fri 8:30-3:30 Contact 1 Nancy McLaughlin Administrative Assistant voice fax Purpose SSCCA began with a common vision placed by God into the hearts of a few parents from St. Stephen's parish and the local Christian community. The intent was and still is to provide a quality education for children from Christian parents in an environment that acknowledges the Lordship of Jesus Christ over all things temporal and spiritual. The classical approach was chosen because it works best. A parish setting was chosen because it is God's means to train up His people.

381 SSCCA is a classical and Christian school, committed to the academic excellence promoted in the Trivium, teaching in the light of a Christian worldview, that is grounded in the Old and New Testament Scriptures. The ideals of SSCCA in the year 2000 are the same today. Where we have matured is in our ability to adapt classical Christian curriculum to the variety of students who attend the Academy. Our teachers are not only gifted to teach well but experienced to teach the curriculum so that every student reaches his or her potential. SSCCA holds membership with both the ACCS-Association of Classical and Christian Schools, and ACSI-Association of Christian Schools International. SSCCA remains centered on the essentials of offering a quality education within a God fearing environment. We are committed to continue the same until He returns. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto! Service SSCCA's goals are based on the principle of outreach as described by our Savior in Acts 1:8: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you: and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." To assist parents of St. Stephen's Reformed Episcopal Church in fulfilling their responsibility of training their children in accordance with Deuteronomy 6:4-12 and Ephesians 6:4. To assist Christian parents in the community to fulfill their responsibility under the same principles mentioned above. To educate unchurched children in the community that they and their families might know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Born out of these goals are the objectives SSCCA seeks to put into practice. Students will examine all truth learned through the lens of faith in God who has revealed Himself in the Holy Scriptures. Students will integrate subjects helping create a synthesis of knowledge which points to the Author of all truth. Students will be trained in the basic doctrines of the Historic Christian faith as they are articulated in the Apostle's and Nicene Creeds. A minor emphasis will be placed on the doctrines of the Reformed Episcopal Church as found in the Thirty Nine Articles of Religion. Students in the Grammar Stage will receive a foundation for future education which will emphasize the subjects of Mathematics, Reading and the English language. Students in the Logic Stage will be trained in proper research and introduced to formal and informal logic as they continue to build upon foundational subjects. An increase emphasis on the Sciences and History will be made. Students in the Rhetoric Stage will develop personal skills that will enable them to articulate and defend truth. Proper speech, writing techniques and etiquette will be placed upon the foundational subjects already described. Fees Vary Ages Served Serves students in junior kindergarten through 12.
