This Sunday in I Peter Chapter 2 we are going to consider a surprising truth often repeated in the New Testament: When we are powerless, we often have a unique opportunity to make other people aware of God at work in us.
As Jesus teaches us, “Blessed are the Meek”, thus, the powerless. How do we communicate God’s work in our lives, when we often find ourselves in vulnerable positions regarding the truth or the way we are treated?
See you Sunday!
Fr. Tom

LAWN CLEANUP
We will have a lawn cleanup morning on Saturday, May 6, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. (rain date, May 13). Mostly we will remove leaves, twigs and other debris that has accumulated on the lawn and in the parking lot over the winter. If possible, bring a rake, broom, or tarp. Some jobs may need garden gloves. If you have questions contact Dedee. Come celebrate Spring on May 6th!
LEFT OVER (clean) DISHES!
Get them before they get “repurposed”. There are several nice dishes that have been set out on the table nearest the windows in the Parish Hall. Help us return them to their proper homes.
