TRANSCRIPT
OUR LENTEN SERIES!
“Resurrection in Film” Every Tuesday night in Lent.
This Tuesday, 4/2 Millions. It’s the holiday day season and 7 year old Damian has lost his mother and moved to a new town. He talks to saints and believes he’s received a divine gift from above when a suitcase filled with cash literally falls from the sky. He wants to share with the less fortunate while his brother Anthony would rather just spend it. But when it turns out to be stolen, well…!
Great Soup starts at 6:30 PM and the film starts at 7 PM.
THURSDAY BIBLE STUDY
New Thursday Bible Study begins on April 4. We will be reading Peter Enns’ book “The Bible Tells Me So…..Why Defending Scripture Has Made Us Unable to Read It.” Order your copy of the book now and join us on April 4 at 9:30 a.m. in the Conference Room. Participants should read Chapter 1 (pages 3-26). Questions? Call Mel Caron, 478-234-3698.

Worshipping With Us
Welcome! Episcopal worship is participatory. We stand, we kneel, we speak, sometimes we sing! Please join in at your level of comfort. If you’d like to learn more about what we as Episcopalians believe or if you have any questions, please fill out one of the yellow cards in the pew and give it to Mother Susan or one of our ushers. We hope you feel welcome here and that you will come back often to feed your faith.
A Word About Receiving Communion in the Episcopal Church
All are invited to the Altar to receive. If you would like a blessing, just cross your arms over your chest. If you decide to receive only the bread, extend your hand for the wafer and cross your arms over your chest to decline the wine. For the wine or grape juice you may guide the chalice to your lips by placing your hand gently on the chalice’s base and guiding it. Or you can dip your host (wafer) into the wine. Or you can give the host to the Lay Eucharistic Minister, who will dip the host into the wine and place it in your mouth.
Please Be Considerate of Our Neighbors!
We are so glad you're here! But when you park near
the church, please be considerate of our neighbors and
make sure you have fully cleared their driveways.
Thank you!
College Scholarship Forms
There are a few College Scholarships available through the Church. The forms are in the white envelopes on the bulletin board across from the Conference Room. Please check the Deadline dates and have your paperwork & recommenda-tions needed in on time. Any questions please see Mother Susan+.
CLASS will meet on Sunday, June 5, follow-ing the morning service in the Conference Room. Our topic this month will be "Evil, Suf-fering & A Loving God." Mark your calendar for the next study of Up-pity Women of the Bible! We'll begin on Thursday, September 8 at 9:30 a.m. (following Morning Prayer). Our focus for this study will be the book of Judith. Watch for more details toward the end of summer.
