Announcements for April 8
- Easter Egg Hunt
The traditional children’s Easter egg hunt will take place on the front lawn following the 10:00 a.m. service. Please bring your own basket or bag for collecting.
- Youth Confirmation Classes Begin
In the Episcopal Church confirmation is the time when children who were baptized as infants reaffirm their baptismal vows in their own voice. It is also the rite in which individuals specifically affiliate with the Episcopal Church as a denomination. Classes will be offered during the 9:00 a.m. Sunday education hour beginning next Sunday, April 15, for young people seventh grade or older. Confirmation will be Saturday, June 9, at St. James’ Cathedral. If you are interested or have questions, please speak to Cyndie Knoll or Pastor Kristin Orr.
- Good Friday Donations for Jerusalem
Since 1922 Episcopalians in the United States have supported the ministries of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East through the Good Friday offering. If you would like to be a part of this effort but were not able to make a donation at St. John’s Good Friday service, you may still contribute. Please place your donation in the Sunday collection plate or send it to the parish office— clearly marked “Good Friday.”
