Blood Drive Recap
Thank-you to everyone for supporting our Red Cross Blood Drive on March 22nd. We collected twenty units! (Lauren Demelo, Dale Orzali, Kelly Bourgeois are church friends who came!)
Not so Fun Fact: Sickle cell disease affects 90,000 to 100,000 people in the U.S. About 1,000 babies are born with the disease each year. Sickle cell patients can require blood transfusions throughout their lives.
Special thanks to Lauren deMelo, Dale Orzalli, Dario Puerto, and Kelley Bourgeois for signing up to donate. Thanks to Sharon Scofield and Sue Burgess, who helped check people in to their appointments, set up, and clean up. And to First Church for generously sharing the church building to help the community in this way!
Sunday School News
This Sunday we celebrate the Joy of Easter! There will be lots of sounds; songs, trumpet, organ, and piano, and lots of kids and wee ones! We have no Sunday School on Easter but we are providing activity bags for the children to use during the service. Please join us and know that those sounds of kids, of babies, of toddlers...that is noise that we welcome!
“Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God” (Luke 18:16)
We were all touched by the outpouring of love on Palm Sunday. Thank-you parents for encouraging your kids to participate! We had readers, picture holders, palm wavers. Thank-you church family for supporting our children and teaching team.
By the way, those amazing images of Jesus' life come from Peruvian artist Marco Gomez. The Rev. Dr. Ian Montgomery is Dean of the Anglican Cathedral of the Good Shepherd in Lima, Peru lives there (about 8 months of the year) along with his wife Molly, (who teaches Godly Play). She connected with Marco Gomez to make those paintings for her teaching and now they are one of the sets used in churches around the world!
Here are some pictures from the service:
