May 2 - The Dove Deadline

We're all busy, of course. So a reminder to all parishioners that articles and photos for the May Dove need to be in my hands no later than Thursday May 2 for possible inclusion. I hope you are enjoying the format as revised. If you haven't had a chance to read an issue lately, you'll see that The Dove now includes mostly information about events and individual parish activities that occurred in the month prior to publication. This seemed prudent given that there are several other outlets, beautifully maintained by Meg McKenna (the Sunday Bulletin) and Webmaster Jan Paxton (email blasts Thursday and Saturday each week, not to mention the CHS website) that announce future events in a timely manner. I welcome your suggestions for future inclusion at vicki.brooks24@comcast.net And if you are not receiving the weekly notices, it's easy to sign up: access the website -- http://www.churchholyspirit.org -- and scroll down to the gray box labeled "Join our Email List". Thanks in advance for your support.Thanks in advance. Vicki

Time for a Bonfire! 6 pm, May 9

On Ascension Thursday, which falls on May 9 this year, we will be having a bonfire! We like bonfires and we also need to burn 3 years’ worth of blessed palms, Books of Common Prayer which are no longer usable, old Pascal candles, and the like.

Bring some dinner for yourselves and we’ll make it a picnic! This is a Choir Dinner Thursday, so we’re inviting the choir to join us outside to dine, then head in at the appropriate time to rehearse.

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

Celebrating 37 Years!

Please join us on Saturday, June 29th to celebrate together 37 years of Phil's ministry at CHS. The celebration will start at 4PM with Evensong in the Sanctuary followed by a a cocktail hour and sit down/stand up buffet dinner at Church of the Holy Spirit. It will be a joyful evening and opportunity to share stories and memories with Phil and others from our community as we reminisce about the last 37 years. 

And Vicki Brooks is still collecting photos of that 37 years to use at the celebration -  Vicki’s email for digital photos is vicki.brooks24@comcast.net

Preparing for Sunday

(Lectors & Intercessor and others serving) 

Find the lessons appointed for Sunday here >

Sunday's readings reveal what it means to live in and through Jesus. In Acts, Philip explains to the Ethiopian eunuch the good news of Jesus. The author of 1 John reveals that true faith becomes visible through the obedience of active love. In today’s gospel, Jesus explains that, like branches connected to a vine, we abide with him and experience great fruitfulness.
