Memorial Day Remembrances

We will observe Memorial Day at St. Dunstan’s this Sunday, May 28 by reading aloud the names of members of the military who have died. Please share names of those you'd like remembered at the Altar by filling out this Google form. 


The deadline for submissions is 4 p.m. on

Saturday, May 27.

Updating the Prayer List

Please take a moment to review the Parish Prayer List (see below) and let me know if there is anyone who is ready to "graduate" - which would be joyous news! We want to keep the list as current and accurate as possible. Thank you for your help! ~ Patty+

Clean-up Day on Saturday

Saturday, May 27

12 Noon


Please come help out for as long as you're able! Bring your gardening tools and yard bags if you have some, and maybe gloves in case of poison ivy.

Many hands make light work!

SSL hours available.

Wear Red on Pentecost!

Please worship with St. Dunstan's on the Feast of Pentecost this Sunday, May 28! We will celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit (the "Birthday of the Church") by hearing the Acts of the Apostles lesson in multiple languages, and we will be treated to special music by Organist Hexin Qiao, Guest Cantor Hilary Park, and Trumpeter Len Morse. Come join the festivities!



Also...

Remember to wear RED this week, if possible. (Orange or yellow work, too: The idea is to suggest "tongues, as of fire.")

"We Are Risen!" Nave Exhibit Ending

Many thanks to everyone who contributed photos (or allowed themselves to be cornered by Ray Donnelly during coffee hour!) for the “We Are Risen!” installation in the Nave. After Pentecost this Sunday, May 28, it will be time to take the installation down. If you would like to claim your family’s framed “garden,” feel free to take it home after the service — and if you can’t be there to take it on Sunday, just let me know and we’ll set it aside for you in the church office.


With love,


Sue Carroll

Qigong this Sunday

Formation Hour

Sunday at 12 noon

in the Nave

Led by Elisabeth Saidi


ALL are welcome to join Elisabeth Saidi for Qigong, a Chinese practice that uses posture, movement, breath, and mental focus to promote a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.


This is an easy to follow and very relaxing practice that is accessible to all ages, and you have the option to stand or sit throughout the session.


For more information, please contact Elisabeth at [email protected].
