Sunday Worship – Thank you to all who helped us worship in the Parish Hall last Sunday. It is amazing how out of practice we have become with live streaming, although that isn’t a bad thing. Spread the news and invite friends to join us.
Sanctuary Rehabilitation – Dominion Traditional Building Group has begun work and is making good progress on repairs. They have started working in the crawl space this week and will continue working the exterior as weather permits. There will be opportunities to help monitor progress during their work.
Parish Hall roof repairs – Will be completed once the shingles are received.
Ukrainian Relief – The Episcopal Relief and Development is gathering and sending relief assistance to the Ukraine. Donations to Episcopal Relief & Development’s Ukraine Crisis Response Fund will help the organization and its partners continue to provide assistance to people displaced by the crisis in Ukraine. Please consider assisting with this call to minister.
Thought for the week – Generosity: God is no ordinary gardener. God is reckless with generosity, sowing love everywhere, not limited by investing only for the best results. Radically open, loving even in the face of rejection and impossibility: this is God’s way.
– Br. Luke Ditewig, SSJE
Society of St. John the Evangelist
