Announcements for May 19

Pentecost: Wear Red This Sunday
This Sunday, May19, is Pentecost. It has long been an informal custom in the church to wear red on Pentecost to symbolize the tongues, as of fire, that lighted upon the apostles.

Sunday School Year-End Celebration This Sunday
This Sunday, May 19, is the final Sunday for children’s and adult Sunday School classes. During the 10:00 a.m. service, we will celebrate the children, adults and teachers who have contributed to this year’s Sunday School program. We will also honor this year’s graduates from the four-year Education for Ministry program.

Last Call for Information on Graduates
We are compiling information on spring graduates (from any level of schooling). Please send in information on any graduates you are celebrating in your family along with information on special honors or future plans. Please phone, mail or e-mail the parish office with your information. We will honor this year’s high school graduates next Sunday, May 26.

Episcopal Church Women Potluck
The ECW will hold a potluck luncheon this Wednesday, May 22, beginning at 11:30 a.m. in the undercroft.
