What a great Pentecost Sunday we had this past week! Following a week of three funerals, we needed the fullness of joy and celebration, marked by great music and 60 red balloons! THANK YOU, Altar Guild, and Flower Guild, for all the work of transferring frontals and having flowers in both the Church and Great Hall so it looked and felt like the day of the Holy Spirit in every service.
This weekend is going to be another “first in a long time” event. It is Trinity Sunday with our annual Parish Picnic! At 10:00am, if the weather cooperates, we will worship in the Eden Chapel outdoors. If not, we are in the Great Hall. We will have picnic immediately following (either inside or out). The Church will supply meats and you bring salads, sides, and desserts. In “days of old” our pot-lucks were some of the best eating all year given all the terrific cooks at ODEC. Time to get back in the groove.
Saturday, we will celebrate the life of Al Torres, husband of Marcia who is always serving others at coffee hour and many ministries. Let’s serve her well in her time of grief. The burial service is at 11:00am with reception following in Tucker Hall.
The next Sunday, CLUB35 will have a family beach day at First Landing State Park beach following the 10:00 am services. Look for the information in tomorrow’s youth email.
Thanks for everyone’s contributions to the Eagle Scout deck rebuild project and to our Youth Pilgrimage fund. You are very generous investors in our future, physically and spiritually.
Tonight at 6:00pm join us for supper with teaching to follow at 6:30pm.
See you soon. Shalom! Peace and wholeness!
