come, and the voice of the turtle dove [or maybe the spring peepers] is heard in our land." [Song of Solomon 2:12] |
Services for this coming Sunday, April 19th, The Third Sunday
of Easter, will be at 8 and 10 am. We hope you will join us for worship and
fellowship as we continue our celebration of the Easter season!
Readings for this Sunday: Acts 3:12-19 Psalm 4; 1 John 3:1-7, Luke
24:36b-48. |
| The organ remains under wraps awaiting the upcoming painting. |
Next step: Our painter, Skip Nason, will be in this coming week to do the
painting. Deb has in mind to do more work on the bare pews, and waxing on the floors once the painter is done. Then the altars, chairs, lectern, our cushions and needlepoint kneelers, and the books can come back in. What will remain at that point is the installation of new lighting. We may have to live
with bare bulbs for a bit longer before the electrical work can be completed.
At the moment, we are hoping to be back in the church by the first Sunday
in May. We’ll keep you posted!

Is this your bell? (It's about 3 inches tall.) We rang in our Alleluias with lots of bells at the Easter Vigil, and
someone forgot to reclaim this one. It's in Heidi's office.
Special thanks to Lisa Thompson
and Gretchen Behr-Svendsen for
officiating for last Sunday’s services of Morning Prayer, and for Val May’s
willingness to step in at the last minute to provide harp and musical
leadership. We are indeed blessed to have a parish that understands the range
of effective lay ministry. Duane and I are grateful for the wonderful and
refreshing family time in Wisconsin.
Food for thought in Eastertide from Br. David Vryhof , SSJE…
“Abide in me
as I abide in you.” In these few words Jesus reveals the secret of the abundant
life he is bringing into the world. This is the secret not only to our own
fulfillment, but also to our fruitfulness, our ability to positively influence
others by bringing them to share in the Divine Life.
Remember, the Easter celebration of
the Risen Christ in our midst continues for 50 days!
See you in
church.
Easter
Blessings, Heidi+
