Calling all polyglots...help share the gospel on Pentecost!
Polyglot=someone who speaks more than one language.
On the day of Pentecost, a multiethnic crowd was gathered in Jerusalem, and by the power of the holy spirit, each heard the gospel proclaimed in her own native language (see Acts 2:1-8). This year on Pentecost (June 4), we'll have fun creating such a multilingual scene. If you read or speak a foreign language, and are willing to read a few scripture verses on June 4, please email Nadia today! People of all ages--including young students of foreign languages!--are encouraged to participate. Contact Nadia to learn more.

2nd Annual Grace House Gardening Day!
Tuesday, June 6 - 9:30AM - Noon
Donate and Join us
 Last year the residents of Grace House and Christ Church parishioners worked side by side to create a wonderful garden. We enjoyed a lovely community breakfast served on the porch, then we rolled up our sleeves and got to work planting herbs, vegetables and flowers.
The residents enjoyed the bounty from the garden all season and the women are very excited to do it again. Residents tend the garden - weeding, watering and harvesting during the summer.
They have given us a "wish list" of some new items they would like to plant this year - cabbage, onions and greens.
We need: donations of plants, donations of money to purchase plants and volunteers (men, women and students) to help do the planting. We plan on carpooling from the Maple Street parking lot @ 8:30AM down to Grace House. Please join us!
Contact Carmen Wilcox for further information.
