Outreach
In May and September of 2021 the Outreach Committee held two Shred Events in our church parking lot for our community to shred their unwanted personal documents on site. After the expenses of renting the shredding truck, we received significant donations toward our future Outreach activities.
Our next Shred Event is planned for Saturday, May 14, from 1:00 -3:00 p.m. Please plan to join us, and let your friends know, about this great community event!

An Order for laywomen of the Episcopal Church
We welcome new member Joanna Sutphin, a transfer Daughter of the King from another parish. Joanna has begun joining us in prayer for parish members on our rotation schedule. Welcome!
It has been a time of many changes and challenges as we journeyed through Lent. As Easter approaches, we are pleased to “begin anew” in many ways as we move forward to a more normal routine. How joyful it is to be able to worship together once again. So, if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new.
(2 Corinthians 5:17)

Announcements
A is for Africa Mite Box Ingathering on Easter Day
A reminder to everyone to bring back your Lenten mite boxes as well as your Lenten Calendar donations on Easter Day! There will be a basket in front of the church and during the Offertory you will be invited to bring forward your gifts.
Easter Egg Hunt!
It’s time to get ready for our Easter Day egg hunt! We are asking folks to bring in filled plastic eggs – stickers, erasers, seashells, charms, and printed scripture verses (as well as candy!) are all possible ideas. Please bring your filled eggs to the marked plastic bin by Easter Day.
16th Basket Raffle and Silent Auction
As you are doing your Spring cleaning, please consider donating any items in good condition that may be suitable for men, women, or children of all ages. Some of our previous basket themes have been for babies, teens, teachers, pets, game/movie night, spa, jewelry, tea time, taco night, crab feast, sports memorabilia, fishing, golf, car wash/auto supplies, cooking, gardening, birding, crafts, tools, healthcare, exercise and inspirational.
Items for the Silent Auction would be those that would generate higher bids by themselves rather than as a part of a basket. Such items could include paintings, quilts, unopened perfume, fine jewelry or high-value gift certificates, and the like.
The “Basket Brigade” will begin our creations in July. We would like to invite anyone interested in joining us to learn and enjoy our creation process to please contact Marilyn at Ladyzip2004@yahoo.com. We are in need of individuals to help with, not only the basket creation process, but wrapping the baskets, making bows, making phone calls to businesses, picking up business donations and many other small tasks leading up to the event. Thank you, in advance, for helping us in any way you are able with our greatest fun fundraiser!!
