We have lots going on! Please make a note of the following dates:
The Sunday School children are raising funds for the church's Capital Campaign. The children have been presented with a collection jar for each family. From now until the end of the school year, the children will be able to fill their jars with donations. They can give loose change, part of their allowances, part of their birthday money, etc. to support God's church. At the end of the school year, the children will pool all their efforts into one large container to present to the church. We want to teach them humility and grace as they strive to give of themselves.
The last day of Sunday School will be June 4th. The children will be presented with their awards at the 10:00 service.
Blessings,
Amy Seaman

Father Justin will be leading a reading group on Thursdays: June 15, 22, 29 from 7pm to 8:30pm in the Parish Board Room, on the second floor in the Parish House.
The book The Meaning of the West by former Anglican Priest, Dr. Don Cupitt, will serve as an opening for discussion of what it means to be a Christian today. Dr. Cupitt is now a secularist who believes the ethical teachings of Jesus are the cornerstone of western values but rejects traditional Christianity. As Christians and Episcopalians/Anglicans we will discuss his various points and look more deeply into the value and purpose of being a person of faith in the 21st Century.
