Ascension Eucharist – Thursday, May 1, 7:00pm
Ascension is a major feast of the church like Christmas and Easter. Ascension is important because, “After his glorious resurrection Jesus openly appeared to his disciples, and in their sight ascended into heaven, to prepare a place for us; that where he is there we might also be, and reign with him in glory.” (BCP, page 379)
Celebrate with us.

How YOU can help – Coffee Hour
Duncan Sawyer, Rita Houghton and others prepare a beautiful Coffee Hour for us each Sunday. They need cookies, ginger ale, Welch’s Tropical Punch frozen drink mix, and cheese spreads. Please bring them to the church kitchen marked “Sunday Coffee Hour”. Please note: NO NUTS… we have parishioners who are extremely allergic to them!! Thank you. For more information, contact Duncan Sawyer at 388-1597.
