For the month of March, we will be collecting toiletries for our neighbors at the Travis County Community Center in Jonestown. If you use SNAP benefits to buy groceries, you are not allowed to use them to purchase any kind of personal products. Accordingly, the TCCC at Jonestown, keeps on hand a supply of these products for the clients’ use. The Center needs help in replenishing this supply and has asked CEC for help. Please bring any kind of personal care products — soap, body wash, deodorant, feminine hygiene products, shampoo, etc. — to the church. There is a collection basket in the narthex. In a few weeks, we will make sure that these things get delivered. Thank you for your assistance! |

Church Work Day!
We have good news from the Diocese. They have approved our grant request for the full amount needed to hire a professional tree company. The tree work will begin today, March 17 and will be completed by the end of next week. The company is bringing in 3 crews to expedite the job. We still plan to have a clean up day on Saturday April 1 beginning at 9AM. The work will include raking, sweeping and general cleaning of the grounds. Hopefully we will be joined by members of the scouts, day school and Gladiators, who have all been invited. Remember to bring water, gloves, eye and sun protection.

INTERCESSORY PRAYER PARTNER MINISTRY |
|
Intercessors will be at the back of the church, near the sacristy door to pray with anyone who would like special prayers during communion at the 10:30 service on Sundays. Often people will ask for prayers for healing for themselves or others, but any prayer request is welcomed. If you would like to pray with one of our prayer partners, you are encouraged to come forward for communion and then make your way to the back for additional prayers. If you have any questions about this ministry or are interested in becoming a prayer partner, contact Cindy Gravis or Fr. Richard.

And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. And all ate and were filled. What was left over was gathered up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
