Message from the Rector
As we emerge from the post-Holy Week, Easter Sunday lull (just look at the updated calendar of upcoming events directly below!!), I am thrilled to witness the vibrancy of our congregation. Last night's Episcopal 101 session was a testament to our shared journey of faith, with 16 individuals embracing this learning opportunity. The diversity within the group, spanning from newcomers to seasoned members of over 60 years, beautifully reflects the inclusive spirit of our church. Witnessing everyone engage and grow together fills my heart with joy.
This Sunday holds a special treat as we welcome the Rev. Cara Rockhill as our guest preacher. Cara is not only a dear friend and colleague but also a proud native of Calvert County. Her roots in our community deepen the connection we share, and I eagerly anticipate the wisdom she will impart.
And, it is the third Sunday of the month, so come with empty stomachs and full wallets to enjoy the Outreach Breakfast, which takes place between services. All are welcome--bring your friends!
Let us continue to cherish these moments of fellowship and learning, for they enrich our spiritual journey and strengthen our bond as a community. May the grace of God guide us as we embrace the opportunities for growth and connection that lie ahead.

Project Spudnik
All work sessions are from 10 AM to noon.
Project Spudnik has 2 scheduled work sessions: April 13 and 27. This is because rain canceled our March 23 session. We hope you can join us as we play in the dirt to make things grow. Perhaps even in our new high beds! Come check them out!
Bring your gloves! Bring your tools! Bring a friend! Spend Saturday from 10 am to noon in the Spudnik garden. We made lots of dirt last week and now can fill more grow bags to plant transplants (broccoli, cabbage, and Brussel sprouts) and seeds (beets, spinach, carrots, lettuce, kale and radish). Check out our new high beds and see which have sprouts just peeking up from the dirt!
Questions? Contact Mimi Miller at millerfam1976@verizon.net.

Calling All All Saints' Bakers!
Baked Goods are needed for the ECW Bake Sale at the 2024 Calvert Arts Festival! We need you to bring your favorite baked items for us to fill our table. Cakes, pies, cookies, muffins, bread, and candy will be welcomed and will have a temporary home on our Baked Goods table. Artisans typically search out our table before the festival begins to have something delicious to munch on during the day. Our event guests are always in search of a snack or a yummy dessert to take home. You can help our fundraising efforts and keep our Calvert community happy by baking for us. The more baked goodies, the merrier! If you have any questions, please call or text Deb Shupe (410-231-8150).
