The 4th Sunday of Easter
April 21, 2024 9 am Service
This Sunday is the Fourth Sunday of Easter. The first lesson continues the story of Peter and John healing a man at the Temple, and the reaction of the Temple Authorities. We'll try to put the story together. In the Gospel lesson Jesus talks about Himself as the Good Shepherd, contrasting Himself with secular rulers. We'll talk about all of this Sunday.

WAWA HOAGIE SALE
Our Wawa Hoagie coupon fundraiser continues! We are selling coupons at $4.50 each for a Wawa “shorti” hoagie, of which we keep a small profit from every sale. The coupons can be used at all area Wawa’s and have no expiration date. If you are interested, please see Rosemary Bezuidenhout or contact the office.
FOOD PANTRY MINISTRY EVOLVING TO MEET CHANGING CONDITIONS
As the needs of the hungry in our area change, and the best way to help the food pantries we assist changes along with that, we are adjusting how we ask for your support. We will continue gratefully to accept offerings of money from parishioners, but we will be adding an option to make a food donation at the Church as well. Starting now, our Outreach Coordinator, Leigh Oppelt, has listed in the bulletin the items in particular need at the programs we are assisting. Right now that list is: Paper Products, Toiletries for the DELCO Food Pantry; Fruit Cups Pudding Cups, Soft Cereal Bars, Single Pack Snacks [i.e. chips, cookies, crackers, etc.] for the Kensington Food Ministry. Any items donated are accepted with thanks, but we will be concentrating on the Items listed in the bulletin.
EPISCOPAL RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT (ERD) Sadly in the News
We've talked a number of times about the fact that Episcopal Relief and Development, our Church's disaster relief agency, often operates in the background, working through local dioceses or other agencies who are established in the area.
READERS AND INTERCESSORS ARE NEEDED FOR WORSHIP SERVICES
With the installation of the new camera, audio, Internet, and streaming equipment, worship is no longer a solo by the Priest celebrating. Parishioners are needed to read lessons and lead prayers--two per service [and two for every 7:30 service!]. If you can help, please contact Helen Dunlap or leave a message at the Church Office
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore."
