Prayers & Help
Hold Tom Hull in the light of your prayers. Tom is in Arlington Hospital and will be undergoing a surgical procedure tomorrow related to kidney stones.

Given Tom's serious health care concerns right now we need extra help on our Rebuilding Together project. If you can give a bit of time Friday evening in loading up Tom's truck with supplies for Saturday, please let me know (revdocdee@gmail.com).
Thanks

Thanks to Don Hodgen for cleaning up after our brunch, and thanks to the choir for setting things up in Wilson Hall.

Still In an Earth Daze
Progressive ... Inclusive ... Diverse
April, 2010
Greetings!

Harry Knox
What a beautiful day! I hope that you are enjoying the beauty of God's good creation on this 40th anniversary of the first Earth Day.

We will focus a bit on creation care during worship this Sunday, so come and worship.

Speaking of creation and worship, many of us have noticed that our Sunday morning attendance has not recovered from the great snowpocalypse of January and February. We miss you when you are not with us, and while sometimes people find it a bit difficult to "come back" after being away for a while, remember that we really do worship a God of infinite grace and we try to behave that way. You are always welcome!(Hope you enjoy the earth day green font!)

There is so much going on at Clarendon right now and so many opportunities to get involved in our mission to the community. Worship remains the heart of it all. So come and worship.

peace,

David

Wii Kirk & Shower April 30

Hans WiiSay what?

First, come out and play!

Friday, April 30, we hold our next Wii Kirk evening of fun, food and fellowship.

The festivities begin at 6:30 p.m. and typically continue till about 9:00.

Our resident pizza chefs will be doing their thing. The Wii will be hooked up to the big screen. Games will be on the tables. Good conversation will flow, as will good drinks!

Come on out for an evening of simple fun.

Second, we're calling this one a "shower for the kirk." We've registered at Bed, Bath and Beyond under the names Clark Chesser and Cheryl Lederle-Ensign, and are looking to stock the kitchen.

Come and play, and bring along a wee gift for the kirk.
