Mother's Day and
The Feast of Pentecost
Pentecost is the
next most important in the Christian Year after
Christmas and Easter! It is the great festival that
marks the birth of the Christian church by the power of
the Holy Spirit. Pentecost means "fiftieth day" and is
celebrated fifty days after Easter. The way the calendar
falls this year, next Sunday is also another important
day on our Calendar -- Mother’s Day! A special gift will
be offered to each lady who attends Mass next Sunday and
awards will be given to the newest mother, grandmother,
and great grandmother. So join us for the Mass -- and
bring your Mom!
The Episcopal Church Women will
sponsor Bible Study at 10 am. Then following
the 11 am Mass they invite you to join them for a
Fundraising Luncheon. The Cost? A donation to provide
maternal and child health care through Episcopal Relief
and Development. Your donations to this Fund will be
offered in honor Willow and Luke Fodor’s newborn son,
Aidan Xavier Fodor. Join us for good food, good company
and a good cause.
All
Episcopalians are expected to receive Communion on
Christmas, Easter and Pentecost. They are what have been
called "Days of Holy Obligation" but should really be
thought of as Days of Holy Opportunities! Join us for
worship and bring some friends! |
