Dear Friends: Sending along this weekly e-mail with information for worship, along with a few other things . . .

ONLINE WORSHIP The materials for this week's worship service can be found at our website, HERE. As a reminder, you can now stream these services using Roku, AppleTV, and Amazon Fire, as well as on the front page of our website. And, of course, on our Facebook page, HERE. And, as a reminder, each Wednesday at 12:30pm we stream a "mini concert" with prayers on our Facebook page, with our Choirmaster, Andrew Bolden providing music.

MACCA PRESIDENT At this month's online meeting of the Massillon Area Christian Clergy Association, I was elected president for the upcoming term, starting this summer. I only agreed to the nomination after being assured by the local Lutheran clergy that they would help me as much as possible. So, last week Mission Area Dean, this week Clergy Association President. Tune in next week when I will apparently be nominated for local dog catcher.

ASCENSION DAY SERVICE--May 21st Last year, I had intended to introduce an Ascension service (40 days after Easter), but ended up having my appendix removed instead. This year, I was looking forward to having a big service on Ascension (May 21st), but . . . well, you know what happened. However, we are still going to have a service that day. So, please, mark your calendars for 7pm, Thursday, May 21st, and tune in online at the usual places for a service of Evening Prayer. Since Andrew has offered to help out, we might even be able to do a more-fitting Evensong service!

PUZZLING NEWS A few days ago, Margy Vogt sent me a link to an online puzzle from St. John's UCC up the street. My immediate thought was, "I definitely want in on this!" So, for those who enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles, I've made one using our East-wall window, above the high Altar. You can find the puzzle by clicking HERE. Hopefully, it is intuitive on how it works. And you can choose your background color, number of puzzle pieces, and even set it to display just the edge pieces, if you're like me.

BIRTHDAYS and ANNIVERSARIES Celebrating birthdays this week are Robert Hess (5/12), Keith Jarvis (5/14), Ed Breyfogle (5/16), and Renee Tennis (5/16). Mike and Bonnie Burns will celebrate their anniversary on May 11th. Keep these folks in your thoughts, and let them know you're thinking of them.

PRAYERS REQUESTED Please keep these folks in your prayers. Will Miller, Fr. Erv, Diana Lawver, Ashley and Sawyer Locy, David Wigginton, Keith Rowland, Joyce Vitale, Hondo Sunquist, Pom Chakkaphak, Dick Croasdaile, Jenny Gump, Dr. Bob Ripich, Brian Dorosch, and Dr. Don Zimmerman And do call the office if there's anyone you'd like to have added.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! In ordinary times, we would all be in for a big treat this Sunday, as the men of St. Timothy's would be preparing their annual Mother's Day breakfast. That's not happening this year--at least not all together. So, by way of observing the day, I'm sending you a photo I took this morning of the lovely dogwood, which has just come into bloom on the south side of the building.

Please know that I keep you all in prayer, and am looking forward to when we can see one another face to face again. Until that time, please be in touch if I can be helpful in any way. You are loved more than you could possibly imagine. Faithfully, Fr. George
