May 2: Those last 10 days of Easter: Ascension to Pentecost

Eastertide is 50 days, marking the period in God's holy story from Jesus's resurrection to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Come learn about the last 10 days-- "Ascensiontide"-- and what this little season-within-a-season might offer our lives of faith. P.S. This will be the last Sunday morning Formation Zoom for a while as we prepare to move back into the nave! Stay tuned for upcoming opportunities for formation.

It was a beautiful day, and our golfers had fun. Congrats to Tom Alexander for wearing some really ugly pants, and to Rachel Oliver for winning the ladies longest drive. The winning foursome was Eric Handler, Mike Killimett, Ryan Turner and Bryce Godsey. Ugly Pants has always been about raising money for Mission and Outreach, and this year we expect to clear $14,500 to support programs that work with children and families. Thank you to those of you who bought a sponsorship to boost the proceeds.

It "takes a village" to run an event like this and we are especially thankful to parishioners Ann & Kent Canipe, Bob Drake, Jim Ell, Ellen Gaffney, Bill Monk, Rob Rhodes, & Karen Takada for their volunteer efforts.

Thank you to Bill Monk for documenting the day in photos.

St. Benedict's is celebrating graduates! If you are graduating from high school or college, please let Monty know by May 3! We'll ask you for a photo and to answer a couple of questions so we can celebrate with you.

Below is a report of the breakdown of pledges for 2021 by dollar amount. As you can see approximately half of our pledges fall in the $1,000-$5,000 range. We are grateful to all the people who pledged this year. Each pledge counts and is appreciated.

Many people have mentioned the sense of loss of not being able to put their offering in the collection plates. We are still not able to "Pass the Plate" but we will have a Collection Plate at all of our Outdoor Services. Please bring your offerings, cash or check, and place them in the plate. One more small step towards regathering for church.

The Women's Bible Study meets on Mondays at 10:30 am.

After Easter, we will be forming a new Discernment Class for 2021. This Discernment process requires a six-week preparation period for candidates to be able to learn and prayerfully consider what it means to become a Daughter of the King (DOK). Read more...

Baptism is full initiation, by water and the Holy Spirit, into Christ's body the church. People of all ages are baptized at St. Benedict's. If you desire Holy Baptism for you or your child, or are even just curious about baptism, please reach out to Mo. Jenna. I am trying to get a sense of how many folks might be desiring baptism this Eastertide and beyond.
