Did you know . . .
. . . that next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are Rogation Days?
Traditionally, these are the three days before Ascension Day on which the litany is sung (or recited) in procession as an act of intercession. They originated in Vienne, France, in the fifth century when Bishop Mamertus introduced days of fasting and prayer to ward off a threatened disaster. In England, they were associated with the blessing of the fields at planting. The vicar "beat the bounds" of the parish, processing around the fields reciting psalms and the litany. In the United States they have been associated with rural life and with agriculture and fishing. The propers in the BCP (pp. 207-208, 258-259, 930) have widened their scope to include commerce and industry and the stewardship of creation. The BCP also permits their celebration at other times to accommodate different regional growing seasons. The BOS contains material for a Rogation procession, including petitions to be added to the Great Litany and the prayers of the people. The term is from the Latin rogatio, "asking."
Our closing processional hymn "O Jesus, crowned with all renown" was chosen because it is appropriate for Rogation Days.

Christian Formation
If the Resurrection did happen, there must be some difference not only in our lives, but also for the world. What is the hope when faced with
death, decay, and brokenness? How can one survive the destructive powers of this world?
The answer to this question involves a journey into the tomb and an emergence out of it. Join us in our Christian formation time at 9:30 on May 14 as we start this eight-week focus on the Practices of Resurrected Life.

No presents, please; however, to honor Dottie, her family is collecting non-perishable food items to be given to a local food pantry. If you would like to participate in this way, a basket will be at the door for your donation. If you are unable to attend, we would very much like to present Dottie with a basket of well wishes in the form of cards or letters. Please send your greetings c/o Tari Watson, 23 Cameo Drive, Flat Rock, NC 28731. For a map to the party, please see
Nancy Phillips
. Balloons will mark your way to the celebration!

Parish Hall Scheduling
Cocaine Anonymous will be using our space on Monday and Friday nights from 7:30-9:00 pm.
The group averages about 40 people, so they will need to use the Parish Hall.
Please keep that in mind when planning events or wanting to set up on Friday night for a Saturday event.
