Announcements for April 18
- Easter Flower Donations
Thank you and praise God for everyone who donated money to provide the glorious Easter flowers in the church. A listing of donors and those whom they commemorate is in the Sunday leaflet and will be printed in the next print Evangelist.
- Vestry Meets Monday
The April meeting of the vestry is Monday, April 19, beginning at 7:00 p.m.
- Good Friday Offering
Every year a special collection is taken on Good Friday to aid the work of the Episcopal Church in the Holy Land. This year $500 was collected.
- Only 4 School Uniforms to Go
Our parish goal is at least 269 uniforms to help children in developing countries attend school. That’s one for each parishioner. So far we have purchased 265! Thank you to the Brotherhood of St. Andrew for their recent contribution. If you have not yet purchased “your” uniform, you may do so at the display in the undercroft or by sending a check to the parish office. Each uniform sells for $12.00. Thank you again to the children of St. John’s for coloring the uniforms.
- “Mayfair” Charity Auction set to return May 8
In honor of Mothers’ Day (May 9), the Brotherhood of St. Andrew invites all last-minute gift shoppers to bring their checkbooks and piggy banks to our Second Annual “Spring Mayfair” Charity Auction, from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 8. Last year’s inaugural event was such a success that the Brotherhood hopes it can recapture that magic with another potent combination of dinner, “live” music, bake sale, specialty cake auction, and silent auction of donated art, gift certificates, memorabilia and more. Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for children, and $25 for families. Proceeds will benefit Episcopal Relief and Development nationally, and, locally, St. Mary’s Services for Maternity Counseling, www.stmaryservices.com.
