This Sunday, our new bishop, Brian Cole, makes his annual visitation to Grace. Please join us in welcoming Bishop Brian into our midst and for the confirmation of Drew Champion, one of the youth of Grace. We are Episcopalians, which means that having episcopal oversight, or being in communion with a bishop, is part of what it means for us to live out our particular faith identity. Holy Eucharist with confirmation begins at 5pm, and all are invited to a reception following the service.

In order to make things less onerous for our clergy with the afternoon confirmation service,
the morning services will merge into a single liturgy at 10:00 a.m
. (the normal 8 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. services will return the next week on 4-22). Please note that there will be
NO BREAKFAST
; the earlier liturgy would allow insufficient time for preparation and clean-up, not to mention eating!

Music at the 10:00 a.m. Service
|
Appreciators of fine music, make a special effort to be at the morning service on Sunday to hear a string quartet (Mark Reneau, Sheri Peck, Laurie Minner, and David Peyton), a magnificent tenor (Blaine Tooley) and a wondrous bass (Matthew Hoch), and a celestial trumpeter (Nathan Warner). Music from Handel’s
Messiah
is on the menu!

Reception for Bishop’s Visit
|
After the service at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, Grace will have its traditional reception in honor of the new Episcopalians and the Bishop. With luck, those who are planning to help with food have already been in touch with Coylee! If you’d prefer helping set up or clean up to the assembling of cheese platters or devilled eggs, please plan to appear at 3:00 p.m. in the Undercroft for set up or during/after the reception for aid during and after the reception.
Please contact Coylee if you plan to help
so that she need not rip out hands-full of hair, rend her garments and cry in anguish to the Lord, thinking that she has no assistance! You can contact her at
coylee@epbfi.com

Farmers’ Market Season to Begin April 21
|
Now that the green blade has riseth-ed, it can’t be long until the yellow corn, the orange carrots, the red tomatoes and a legion of other colorfully wonderful edibles begin to emerge from the earth. And to accommodate the coming burgeoning, the Brainerd Market has set its seasonal re-opening for Saturday, April 21. Instead of the single hour of the Winter Market, vendors will be on site from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m., with all manner of produce, eggs, meats, and craft items available. Debit cards will be accepted, and SNAP dollars will be doubled each week thanks to a generous grant. All are invited to come enjoy the warming weather and the early fruits of the season!
