Announcements
Ascension Day- This coming Thursday, May 9th, we will be celebrating Ascension Day. It's probably fair to say that Ascension Day is often the forgotten third part of a trilogy of events that begins on Good Friday (Good Friday > Easter Sunday > Ascension Day). This is unfortunate because there is much good news to be proclaimed to us in Jesus' ascension to heaven and his session at the right hand of God the Father.
That said, we invite you to join us this coming Thursday at 12pm as we hear the Gospel promises of God in the event of Jesus' ascension and his session as Lord of all. The service will be Holy Eucharist Rite II with hymns. Hope to see you there!
Graduating Seniors - Sam Bouchard, our youth ministry director would like to know if anyone has a student who is graduating from high school or college. If so, please email Sam directly. Every year she likes to acknowledge their achievements and leave a box in the Narthex to leave notes of encouragement or congratulations as they move on to their next chapter.
Coffee Hour Volunteers – We have JUNE 2, 16, 23, and 30 OPEN. COTM will provide coffee. This is a great time for fellowship! If you sign up, you will need to purchase and bring the donuts, set-up, and clean-up. Please remember if you use the linen tablecloths, remove them from the tables if they are dirty and place them in the hamper to be washed. Also, if utensils are used, please make sure they are all cleaned thoroughly and placed back in the drawers. We appreciate all your support to keep this going for the congregation.
Altar Flowers – The 2024 calendar is in the Narthex. The next open spots are May 12 (1 spot), June 2, 9, and 16 (2 spots). Thank you for supporting the Altar Flower Ministry.
Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank & Emergency Food Pantry – The Mission & Outreach ministry partners with local food banks collecting non-perishable food donations. If you would like to donate, there are bins in the Narthex to place them. Thank you for continuing to serve and meet the needs of our community.
