Keep, O Lord, your household the Church in your steadfast faith and love, that through your grace we may proclaim your truth with boldness, and minister your justice with compassion; for the sake of our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

10am: Holy Eucharist
This Eucharistic service is accompanied by our choir of mixed adult voices and organ, or on second Sundays of each month by Soul Purpose, our contemporary band. Nursery care is available during this service. A festival reception for kids and adults follows the service.

Upcoming Events

Sunday School's last session is this Sunday: Thanks to Shannon Mitchell and Alyse Russell for heading up Sunday School this year. And thank you to all who volunteered as teachers for our youth.

This Sunday we honor our graduating High School Seniors. Be sure to come and congratulate these fine young people on their accomplishment, and to wish them well on their next endeavor!

The annual CECoP Parish Picnic is July 12th. Mark your calendars now! The meal is potluck, but we need a dedicated team of grillers to organize and deploy grills and grillable food items. Would you like to help? Let us know. Also, anyone who has lawn games, beach balls, frisbees, or other picnic activity items is invited to bring them for the entertainment of all.

Tapestry Singers' rummage sale: Saturday, June 20th, during the Meeker Day celebration. The sale will be from 9 am until 2 pm in the Parish Hall. Come shop and help support our local 501 (c) 3 choir, which is part of Valley Arts United.

Knitting Ministry meets Monday, June 22nd at 6 pm at the Argus Manor where Helen Godwin lives, in the recreation building. The address is 204 9th Ave. SE., Puyallup. This is the complex right after the Regency Retirement Home, catty corner from Cattin's Restaurant. You may park on the street or in one of the Visitor's spaces. We look forward to seeing members as well as anyone else wishing to join us in this ministry.

Needed: more people to deliver the Sunday flowers after the 10 am service. If you have purchased the Sunday flowers, you are always welcome to take them home after the second service. If you would like to share the flowers, there are three people (Mac, Alyse, and Elsa) who take them to home bound  parishioners, folks in nursing or retirement homes, or to people who have been ill, in the hospital, or are recovering at home. It is a nice way to connect with them, and have them be part of the church family when they are unable to attend church.


General Announcements

May is 'bottled water, juice, and healthy snacks month' for the Food Bank.  Thank you for your generosity!

Feel like enjoying a bike ride in the nice weather this weekend? Join your fellow parishioner peddlers for the CECoP Parish Bike Ride. The Ride has its own email list now. Each Saturday's ride will be different. Some weeks we'll start early, ride out for coffee, and be back before lunch. Other weeks we'll ride in the afternoon and have a picnic somewhere along the trail. Or we might decide to drive to Orting and start there, heading further up the trail than we went last year. How will you know where and when we're riding this weekend? The CECoP Parish Bike Ride email, of course! Reply to this email or click here to get signed up for this weekly reminder of bicycling goodness. Let's ride!
