This Sunday, May 2, is the last day to sign up at Grace Church to have your picture taken for the pictorial directory. After that, Olan Mills may be contacting you for sign up so that we get the 100% participation we are hoping for! Sign ups are still in Albright Hall.

This Monday, May 3rd, our Holy Ground Women's Spirituality Group will meet for a divine potluck, spiritual program, and informal Eucharist in ALbright Hall, 6:30 to 8:30pm.  Women: come weary; leave refreshed!

 Confirmation is at the Cathedral: Saturday, May 15th

 May 15th- Confirmation

Bishop George Wayne Smith will confirm 20 youth from our parish and receive 2 of our adult worshipers into the Episcopal Church at Christ Church Cathedral on Saturday, May 15th.  All are invited! 

(The service begins at 11am; confirmands need to arrive by 9:45am.)

 Confirmation Celebration at Grace and unveiling our new youth programming:  Sunday, May 16th  

May 16th- Celebration & Beginning of New Adventures

The next day, we will celebrate this event at our 10am Holy Eucharist and have a reception in honor of our newly confirmed members at 11am in Albright Hall.  Please come and celebrate and congratulate our brave teens, encouraging them in their faith journey as they commit themselves to seeking and serving Christ!  (We especially hope to see lots of “little kids” from Church School offering their congratulations!)

 (At that time, Youth Missioners and their parents will be finalizing their Mission Trip paperwork in the LaVielle Room from 11am to 11:30.)

 At 11:30am, we hope all our children, youth, and parents and all interested people will come together in Albright Hall to see a presentation on our new youth programming.  We are joining forces with the Venture Program to offer our young women and men together (ages 14-20) a regular program of exciting activities to complement and exercise our teaching in faith and ethics.

Progressive Dinner

In case you did not already hear, the Progressive Dinner which was scheduled for tomorrow evening has been canceled. Mark your calendars for the fall date of October 9th.
