Elaine Mistele would be very grateful for donations for the Antique Show Gala coming up on Wednesday the 28th of May.
What or how much is entirely up to you. Even an entire table featuring your favorite food or join another group or help with the serving! Individual dishes or finger desserts, etc. will be much appreciated also. 
We want this to be a very memorable Gala with a huge variety of food and drink. Thank you so much!

With a few exceptions, Mo. Sarah will be out recovering from surgery until May 23. Mo. Paula is on vacation/renewal leave through May 24.

For pastoral emergencies on or after May 11, please first call Mo. Sarah at 310-408-0585 and she will respond as able, or arrange for the care of another priest if needed.

Mo. Sarah and Mike would love to thank the kind person who gave a Trader Joes' gift certificate for Sam's Baptism, which unfortunately became detached from its card. Please let Mo. Sarah know who you are so we can thank you properly!
And a great thank you to all who sent gifts and best wishes.
Mo. Sarah and Mike,
