Fifth Sunday of Easter
Heartfelt Congratulations to our children who will
receive their First Holy Communion this Sunday! We
pray for them and with them as they become sharers
in the most important activity of our Church the
Holy Eucharist. May God Bless them with every good
thing in their lives.
Our
older children are also given our Congratulations as
they prepare to complete the Holy Sacraments of
Initiation by receiving their Confirmation on
Tuesday, May 4th at 7:00 pm
from the most Reverend Matthew Clark. We ask God to
Bless them and deepen their faith as they progress
toward adulthood. They have our prayers and best
wishes.
After Confirmation on Tuesday evening,
the Women’s Guild and Parish will host a reception
of light refreshments in the Church Hall. If anyone
would like to help by contributing refreshments
(cookies, cheese and crackers, fruit and cheese
trays) please sign the list in the Church
vestibule. Any and all help will be most welcome
and appreciated.
