This is the 2nd Sunday of Easter- The beauty of Easter flowers and music continue to fill the sanctuary! Church school will meet and there will be a vestry meeting after the service.
There will be a parish luncheon on Monday, Apr. 9 at the Richmond Country Club at 12 noon. All are welcome (each person pays for her/his own lunch).
Our congregation is working to help the people of Puerto Rico in two ways. We have extended an offer of help to St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Carolina, PR. It is a small mission congregation that was damaged in the hurricane last September. In addition, our Deanery is working to re-stock a daycare center that was nearly destroyed by the hurricane. See the notes in the left column under "Food of the Month."
During the month of April, our congregation will take on 2 challenges. One will be to learn the Pascha Nostrum. This is an ancient hymn that we say every Sunday during Easter season. It means "Christ our Passover" and the words come from Scripture (Romans and 1 Corinithians). It is found on page 83 in the Book of Common Prayer.
The other challenge is to be better social media evangelists! Parishioners are encouraged to post things on their social media pages that proclaim the Good News of Jesus.
