May 2 - The Dove Deadline

A new Dove deadline (but you're free to start early!) -- Thursday, May 2nd. It'll be here before we know it; so first call for the next issue: a request to send photos and text to let us all know what you've been doing during the month of April. We are such a busy congregation and there are so many interesting activities that you are all involved in! Thanks in advance. vicki.brooks24@comcast.net

Are you computer savvy?

If you have expertise with administering Windows OS, Microsoft 365, Google workspace, HP platforms, backups, anti-virus protection, and installing layered software, we could really use your help! We are looking to augment our current, “seasoned" team – which supports the computers in the church office and sanctuary – with our "next generation" of volunteer parishioners. If you have questions or might be interested, please contact Eva at eva@churchholyspirit.net

CHS History in the making

CHS was founded in 1966; that’s a lot of history and how things have changed! We’ve gone from the old sanctuary to the beautiful space in which we worship today and many events. Sandy Burton compiled an history for our first 25 years as a parish but it has not been updated. So, calling all you amateur archeologists, we need help reading through 33 years of Trumpeters, vestry minutes, bulletins to bring this document up to date. Interested in helping? Contact Marge.keller@comcast.net
