Ascension Thursday
A special youth-led outdoor service is being planned for Thursday, May 14th at 6:00 p.m. to celebrate our name day and the Ascension of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is the first time we will be saying mass on our new outdoor altar. Bring your friends. All are welcome!

We will be meeting this Tuesday, May 12 th at 11:00.
Construction Update
After a number of delays, it appears that our construction project of renovating the kitchen and our village avenue parish hall entrance is about to begin. You will notice a plastic construction enclosure being created around the kitchen. This is to prevent dust and debris from entering the rest of the parish hall during construction. Please respect all warnings and do not enter signs during this time. This is for everyone’s safety. Once we begin the project should take between 10-12 weeks to complete. Getting around inside the church will be a nuisance during this time, but in the end it will be worth it! Please watch the link on our website for construction updates and instructions on how to get around the parish during this disruption.
Ascension Today & Tomorrow
It has been a year since we launched the Ascension Today & Tomorrow Campaign, and as you can see from the announcement above, we are finally about to begin construction on the proposed projects. Due to the generosity and early pledge payments of so many of you, we are able to take on this project and begin construction without any loans or outside financing. We do, however, need folks to continue making regular payments on their AT&T pledges. If you have not yet made a pledge to the AT&T Campaign, please consider doing so. We need every bit of financial support we can get to complete this project and to replenish our own reserve funds so that we will have the money to continue to make other necessary repairs as they arise.
Program Year Ending/Schedule Change
Please be aware that our regular program year will be ending on Sunday, May 31. This will be the last Sunday of our regular schedule. Our Summer Schedule of one service at 9:30am will begin on June 7.
Online Giving Update & Church Needs Announcement:
To create a more seamless experience, we have updated the giving page on realm. The dropdown screen has been updated-making it easier to choose the funds to support the ministry of our church. We invite you to take advantage of this convenient way to give.
As we continue serving our congregation and community, we ask you to keep the following needs of our congregation in mind:
• Snow Removal Fund – This winter had brought us a lot of snow, so we have created this
fund to offset the cost of the snow removal that we have incurred thus far. The snow may be gone, but the expenses remain!
• Ascension Today & Tomorrow – As mentioned elsewhere, construction will begin shortly on the kitchen and entrance and will be ongoing throughout the summer.
• General Fund – Sustains our weekly ministries, outreach, and operations
Your faithful giving makes a difference in all that we do. You can give online through our updated platform or during our regular services.
Thank you for your continued generosity and support.
-The Finance Committee
