Join us online Sundays at 10:30 am for Holy Eucharist. The service will be streamed or uploaded to our YouTube page. A link to the Sunday morning service will also be posted to our Facebook page and website each week before the service begins.

The process of preparing to seek a new rector for our parish has begun in earnest. The meeting on May 1st with the Rev. Jason Alexander was an encouraging one. He outlined the process which will include obtaining feedback from members of the church and developing a profile which describes us and our communities. I say communities, as we are located in Russellville, but our membership is increasingly diverse and includes residents of a number of towns in Pope, Yell and Johnson Counties.

Please take the time to prayerfully answer these questions. This survey will be posted through May 18th. This should allow everyone time to do it. Hard copies will be available in the office.

Please check your mail this week as we are sending out giving statements. If there's any issues with your statement please let the office know as soon as possible.

Following the celebration please stay to enjoy some of Sandy's favorite treats.

Our EYC youth will be going through an interactive training Dismantling Racism, a 6 course training from the Absalom Jones Center for Racial Healing out of Atlanta. This training will cover the beautiful diversity of God's creation, bringing to light the deep roots of systemic racism in our country's history, understanding white privilege, how racism negatively affects disadvantaged groups, and repentance, healing, and what reconciliation can mean for us all.

WED May 18 – EYC Dismantling Racism Chapter 6. 6pm to 7pm

WED May 25 – EYC – end of the year bash Conway.

Twice a month after the 10:30 am service we are introducing Episcopal Kid's Community for ages 5 to 11 years old. This group will meet after the service for an hour in fellowship as we journey through the Episcopal Church. We will start by using the book, "The Ultimate Quest: A Geek's guide to the Episcopal Church" by Jordan Haynie Ware, we will learn the ins and outs of our church from why we wear vestments, our Book of Common Prayer, the Who's Who of the church, music, and more.

The Faith & Reason class for May 15^th (hybrid in-person/Zoom meeting) will start around 9:00am, and the Zoom link is included below.

If you can help with desserts, please bring store bought cookies, cakes, or bars, mark them “NT,” and put them in a refrigerator or freezer. Under health department rules they must be cooked in a certified kitchen, so no more home baked goodies. We really appreciate your generosity.

Last week we served 150 meals; 92 drive through and the rest delivered to members of our parish and community. We had wonderful boxes of food from ConAgra to give to every family, and eggs from our Blue and You grant.

Our menu this week our menu is pork and veggie stir fry with salad, fresh fruit, and apple cobbler for dessert. Each bag will include an extra treat such as granola bars. Food from the Arkansas Food Bank will be used. We will prepare 150 meals.
