Ascension Sunday

Ascension Sunday

May 17

The Ascension of the Lord is one of the seven principal feast days of the church and takes place 40 days after Jesus's resurrection. Because it is always on a Thursday, we typically celebrate it on the Sunday following. This year, Ascension Sunday is May 17.
 
Go and make disciples of all nations, says the Lord; I am with you always, to the close of the age. (Matthew 28:19-20)
 
Please pray for Lindsay and Bridget who will be baptized on May 17th. 
 
The Most Rev. Greg Kerr-Wilson will join us for a service of confirmation on Sunday, June 7th. A potlluck lunch to celebrate St. Barnabas Day will be held following the confirmation service on June 7th.
 
Do you speak a different language? Please contact the office if you would like to pray or do a reading in that language during the 10:15 AM service on Pentecost, May 24.

Alongside Hope

St. Luke’s Hospital in the West Bank is operated by the Episcopal (Anglican) Diocese of Jerusalem. Alongside Hope has been supporting this ministry for many years, and more especially during the current war.

St. Luke’s serves a population of about 455,000 people, including 57 marginalized villages and four nearby refugee camps. But unreliable electricity and costly fuel make health care delivery a challenge during the best of times, or a crisis during the worst of times. 

In partnership with the Diocese of Jerusalem, Alongside Hope is funding the purchase and installation of 407 solar panels for St. Luke’s Hospital. “Light for St. Luke’s” will cost $352,000.

Walking Together in Prayer and Support

Walking Together in Prayer and Support

 

Father Thomas Gatluak is currently in the process of sponsoring his wife and children so that their family may be reunited in Canada after years of separation due to conflict and displacement.

Father Thomas has initiated a GoFundMe appeal to assist with one-time, upfront expenses only, including immigration application fees, required medical documentation, travel to Canada, and initial settlement needs.

Parishioners and friends are invited to hold the family in prayer, to share the appeal within their own networks, and, for those who feel able, to offer financial support.

Further details may be found here: https://www.gofundme.com/u/thomas-tut-gatluak

Flower Calendar

Flower Calendar

To sponsor altar flowers, sign up on the flower calendar posted on the bulletin board in the narthex. As there is room for only one set of flowers on the altar, if someone has already signed up for the date you wish, we request that you choose another date. Cost of flower sponsorship is $60 and is included in the calculation of your tax receipt.

Please contact the office by Tuesday of the week before your sponsorship date to provide your dedication to be printed in the bulletin.
