A Friendly Reminder from the Parish Administrator
Dear friends,
If the office is open but staff aren't present, please don't take items from the parish administrator’s desk. Supplies such as pens, paper, staplers, and paper clips are available on the desk with the coffee maker for your convenience.
Also, please sign any notes, documents, or paperwork you would like me to look at, and include a brief description of what you need. Check requests can be placed in the administrator's mailbox or the wooden outbox in front of that navy blue folder.
Forum Posters and Materials:
If you leave notes or materials from presentations or forums in the church office, please indicate what should be done with them (e.g., trash, save, etc.).
If you happen to forget to leave a note, feel free to send a quick email instead!
Thank you so much for your understanding!
Charlese Freeman, Associate for Communications and Administration

Weekly Anthem Spotlight
I Cannot Tell
|
"Londonderry Air is a lovely Irish folk tune that was originally written as an instrumental selection and published in 1855. In 1910, the lyrics to Danny Boy were written by a British lawyer, Frederick Weatherly, who loved to write... It wasn’t until years later, around 1920, that a Baptist preacher from Belfast, William Young Fullerton, wrote new lyrics and called the hymn I Cannot Tell."
| | Donate to the Food Cupboard | |

We’re collecting supplies now through May 21 to assemble 150 First Aid Kits for those who are unhoused or otherwise unable to seek medical care.
On Wednesday, May 21, all are welcome to gather with fellow deanery members to assemble the kits, share fellowship, and bless the supplies before they’re delivered to The Clare Project and Sunshine House in Kensington at St. Matthew's in Maple Glen. Donate the supplies using the Amazon store here.
Questions? Reach out to Rev. Mary McCullough revmarymccullough123@gmail.com or montcopadeanery@gmail.com
Let’s come together to make a difference.
