CLICK here for the Prayers List

One thing we do here at St. Alban’s is pray, which is a good thing. However, our Sunday prayer list is getting rather lengthy. In an effort to stay on top of our prayer list, we will keep folks on our Sunday morning prayer list for a month at a time. We ask that you inform Ernestine Ujah, our pastoral associate, if you wish to keep a person’s name on the list for the next month and we will add their name to the “continued prayers for” section. Please do let us know when healing has occurred so we can give thanks for that! 

Questions? 

Please contact Ernestine at

Thank you!

The flowers on the altar last week, April 21,

were given in memory of 

 brother, Pete Turrell and mother, Joanna Turrell

from

Jack and Betsy Farrar.

Meals Ministry - Month of May

My apologies for the lateness of this request. It's almost time for next month's dinner.

MENU:  "Make Your Own Hot Dog Bar" with Baked Beans, choice of Old-Fashioned Macaroni or Potato Salad, Green Salad, Banana Pudding & Nilla Wafers.

HOME COOKS:  This month is slightly different, it’s either OLD FASHIONED POTATO or MACARONI SALAD.  We have leftover potatoes so if you choose to make potato salad, the potatoes are provided.

From the living room corner table, please pick-up a recipe card and zip lock bag for transport (bagged potatoes are on the table).  Return your batch to Ed Bldg. Kitchen by 3 p.m. on Wednesday, May 8th. 

KITCHEN CREW:   As always, three to four people are needed at 2 p.m. to put the sides together -- I guarantee you will finish by 5 p.m. OR however long you can stay.  Please let me know what your time availability is so we can divvy-up tasks accordingly. 

TRANSPORTERS / SERVERS:  Two vehicles are needed at 5:20 p.m. to transport the dinner -- you can stay and serve if you so desire but double duty is not mandatory.  We need a minimum of six Servers by 6 p.m. at the shelter. But the more the merrier!  

Please review your calendars and your hearts and get back to me as soon as you can. Without you, this ministry is not possible. 

Also, for those who like to plan ahead, the remaining 2024 dinner dates are:  June 12, July 10, August 14, September 11, October 9, November 13, and December 11.

Caring and Sharing

April Partner: B.R.E.A.D. =

Building Responsibility Equality And Dignity

St. Alban’s Social Concerns committee designates a Sunday each month when the loose plate offering is given to support a particular agency. However, contributions can also be made at any time during the month.

What is B.R.EA.D. and what does it do? 

The mission of B.R.E.A.D. is to do justice by building the power of people of faith to solve local community problems. B.R.E.A.D. provides a vehicle for its member congregations to practice justice by joining together large numbers of people. These large numbers of people have power to hold key decision makers accountable for protecting the weak and enable us to "do justice."
