This Sunday is the CROP Walk! The opening ceremony starts at 1:15 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church at 21 Hackett Blvd and the walk is at 1:30. There is a one-mile loop and a two-mile loop. See the Rev. Cameron if you are interested. Our May Mission is the Pentecost offering. This offering is a Christian discipline of stewardship in which, through revenue sharing, the whole church is witness to Jesus’ injunction that “whoever welcomes one of these little ones, welcomes me.” It just makes sense – dollars and cents! The Pentecost Offering is unique in that congregations direct 40% of what they receive for ministries which benefit children at risk. The remaining 60% supports mission through child advocacy (10%), youth ministry (25%), and Young Adult Volunteer opportunities (25%). Our 40% will be given to The South End Children’s Café in Albany. The mission of the South End Children's Cafe is to impact food security, address food equality and food justice, enhance academic success and positively in-fluence the physical and mental health of children by offering free, healthy meals along with homework help, academic enrichment, mentoring, exercise, and the arts. Pentecost, also known as Whitsunday, will be celebrated on May 19 this year. The word has its roots in the Greek word “pentecoste,” which means “50th day.” Pentecost is a major festival in the Christian church and is celebrated by believers on the Sunday that falls on the 50th day of Easter (the seventh Sunday after Easter Sunday). In the New Testament, Pentecost was the occasion of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ and therefore became a feast commemorating this occasion. Across denominational lines, Pentecost is an opportunity for Christians to honor the role of the Holy Spirit in their lives, and celebrate the birth of the church. Please remember to wear red on May 19.

the Glory of God in celebration of Easter 2023.
"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you."
