After worship, we'll gather for a Parish Potluck. Toward the end of the meal, Bishop Rafe will speak to us about Mission and Ministry. Everyone is invited to listen and learn as we discuss ministry among the GenX-ers and GenZ-ers.

Following worship on Sunday, we'll have a Family Potluck to officially welcome our newest members as well as Bishop Raphael, our Diocesan Bishop.  Fried chicken will be provided.  Folks are invited to bring a side-dish to share!

Scripture Readings for Sunday

Acts 2:42-47
Those who had been baptized devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, 
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

1 Peter 2:19-25
For you were going astray like sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

 So again Jesus said to them, "... I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
