This Sunday—May 20th
Day of Pentecost!
Join together to celebrate the fulfillment of the promise which Jesus gave to us - the gift of the Holy Spirit!
Kites!!
If you have one, bring it to church for a blessing, and as well, everyone will receive a kite like this one to color in and fly.
Wear red (if you have it)

Do you remember Presiding Bishop Curry preaching at St Francis a few years ago? Now, following our lead, Kensington Palace have announced "Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle have asked that The Most Reverend Michael Bruce Curry, the 27th Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church, give the address at their wedding.” Curry has said: “The love that has brought and will bind Prince Harry and Ms Meghan Markle together has its source and origin in God, and is the key to life and happiness.”

50th Antiques Show Updates!!!
Opening Night Party
"Golden Jubilee"
Wednesday May 30: 6:00pm to 9:00pm
Tickets will be on sale after both services starting April 29th!
Solicit Ads For
Antiques Show Program
It has been profitable for the Antiques Show to have ads placed in the annual Antiques Show program.
This is to announce that now is the time to ask your hair salon, favorite restaurant, dry cleaners, bank, gift shop, etc. for their support of our local fundraiser by taking an ad in our program.
Also welcome are support ads from our parishioners.
Please come to the church office and pick up parishioner letters, merchant letters and last year’s programs to use in soliciting ads. It is helpful to show a merchant last year’s program which illustrates how ads are presented in the program, and merchants appreciate having the merchant’s letter for tax purposes.
