Dear youth and parents,
 
It's an exciting day for our Chi Rho youth as they prepare for a special lock-in tonight that will raise money and awareness for hunger.  Read on to learn more about their 30 Hour Famine experience and how you can support their efforts.  Also, be sure to read about the special First Sunday Lunch that's coming up on May 2 that will include a recognition and presentation of keepsakes for youth who are completing the Faith Development Class

And since many people are asking...Sarah and I do not have a baby just yet.  Her due date was Sunday, but Bell doesn't seem quite ready to join us on the outside.  We had a visit with the good folks at Maternal Observation, who used words like "excellent," "amazing," and "perfect" to describe the baby's health, so there's no need to be concerned that she's a little late.  I'll be sure to spread the news when she arrives!

Grace and Peace,
Russ
