Organ Fundraising Phase II
THANK YOU to all who have contributed to Phase I of our Campaign to Repair and Upgrade our organ - we have reached $107,770 of our needed $150,000!
In Phase II, we proceed with the repair and continue to invite your partnership. On the patio after worship, you will see an “Adopt-a-Key” chart that acknowledges people who have contributed. There are still keys available for new contributions!  We would like to receive all contributions by May 31. You can contribute by check, by Bill Pay,  and online by credit card or eCheck, or by making payments over time through the church office. Thank you!  
Look Ahead!
Sunday April 30—Anglican & Episcopal Spiritual Writers - Madeleine L'engle
Re-Scheduled from last month
After Both Services  (Presenter—Jayne Bray)
Well known for her writings for young adults - " A Wrinkle in Time", and many others, L'Engle was also an Episcopalian and writer on spirituality. Her books were once banned from Christian bookstores and schools (!) because of her beliefs in universal salvation - that all will be saved, not just those who have found Christianity - "all the little, lost ones". Jayne Bray will be helping us get to know Madeleine better.
