A Prayer for Camp Hardtner
Gracious and loving God, we give you thanks for Hardtner, our diocesan camp. We pray for all those who play, rest, volunteer, work and worship there.

Pentecost Sunday Eucharist Moved Indoors
The outdoor Pentecost Holy Eucharist scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 27 has been moved indoors. This is due to predicted high temperatures for that day. The current prediction is that temperatures will reach a high of 95 degrees..It should be a bit cooler and more comfortable in the church!
New D.O.K. members will be installed and recent graduates will be honored. Following the Eucharist, we will join together in McLean hall for a parish potluck lunch. Please wear red and join us for a wonderful celebration!
Note: Regular worship at 8:30 a.m. and Adult Education Class at 9:15 a.m. will continue as scheduled.

Mother's Day
This Sunday, May 13, 2012 is Mother's Day. May we all give thanks for our mothers with this prayer... Loving God, as a mother gives life and nourishment to her children, so you watch over your Church. Bless these women, that they may be strengthened as Christian mothers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
