Welcome! The congregation extends a warm welcome to all visitors. Please make yourselves known after the
Service, sign our guest register, and join us for refreshments in the Parish Hall.

The Sunday service bulletin deadline is Friday morning. Please leave any announcements with the
church office or e-mail to: karllusk@bellsouth.net.

Check out the refreshment sign up!... Please participate in this vital ministry of hospitality. Everybody enjoys
conversation over cookies and coffee (or juice). Please take your turn. If thirteen households took refreshments
once a quarter, that would fill up the year. You could take the same Sunday each quarter, for ease of
remembering. Go for it!

Presiding Bishop's Visit...to our diocese will be May 16-18. The Rt. Rev. Katherine Jeffries Schori is a
powerful preacher, a strong spiritual person, and worth hearing in these times. She will be celebrant and
preacher at an Episcopal style tent meeting (WOW!) on Saturday, May 17. A sign up sheet is available for this.
It's a great time to pack a picnic and be part of your greater faith community-the Diocese of Kentucky. We must
know today how many want transportation. We need a good number to make this work financially.

Yard Sale...the season is fast approaching. Jo Todd and family are coordinating. Please volunteer to help them.
Remember, many hands make light work, and the proceeds go for outreach ministry. Our work in the
community is the most important thing we do!

Summer Camp...for all youth this summer require early sign-ups. Now is the time to begin planning! Please
send your kids to camp; it's a wonderful experience and contributes so much to their spiritual formation...not to
mention a good time, great food, and wonderful fellowship with your new best friends. Scholarships are always
available...

Young Adult Diocesan Retreat...for 20 and 30 somethings will be at All Saints June 6-8. See the flyers on the
bulletin board. Remember, we can provide scholarships!

Greeters...are needed for the coming months. Again, twelve households (or persons) make it possible for twelve
months to provide a necessary and vital hospitality ministry. Please take your turn. It's worthwhile and only
requires your presence here fifteen minutes early for four Sundays...

Thanks...to all on the team that lead Morning Prayer last Sunday, and to all who participated in our interactive
sermon! We're going to try this monthly-we'll take one of the readings for that Sunday and ask questions to
encourage folks to share their thoughts about what the passage means to them. We can call this “Theology in the
Round,” or some other exciting name!
