Holy Week Observances
Three Sign Up Sheets in the Narthex: Maundy Thursday this year will take a different form. We will gather for a meal that begins as Jesus' Last Supper did--blessing the bread--then we will share a meal and conclude with blessing the cup. In between we will have some of the traditional food that they would have shared. Please sign up...see the sheet for food options to contribute. Second sign up sheet: all night vigil following the Maundy Thursday service into the following morning. Third sign up: to participate in the Great Vigil of Easter. We need acolytes and readers.

Mission: Malawi
Joshua and I want to thank everyone who has sponsored us for our Malawi Mission trip so far. It is an amazing feeling to be so loved by our community. We enjoyed sharing our plans and the Malawian cuisine with the folks who made Coffee Hour last Sunday. Most everyone, kids and adults alike, were "brave" to try some new foods. If you haven't heard about our endeavor please click here to learn more. We are still seeking support in the form of prayers, books and financial contributions.
In peace,
Karen Hirsh

Wish List
We are in need of three items. If any parishioners would like to donate said item or make a contribution toward the purchase of same, the church would be extremely grateful.
- Automatic Coffee Maker (commercial type- similar to the Curtis Alfa model in the kitchen)
- 2 Baby Swings for the Nursery
- A tent with side flaps (10' x 20' or larger)
Our present coffee machine is on its last legs and when it fails we will all be in deep trouble. The tent is much needed for future fundraisers and will help to generate revenue and finally the swings would alleviate a growing need in the Nursery.
