The Deacon’s Role and Ministry Sunday, May 3 at 11:30 am
Deacons are a part of the ordained leadership of The Episcopal Church. In 2012, Bishop Mariann Budde ordained the first deacons for the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. The deacon is a servant leader who is the Church’s and their Bishops’ emissary to the community. As a result of being present in the community, they ascertain the community’s needs, hopes, and concerns and bring these needs, hopes, and concerns, especially those of the marginalized, to the Church. If you would like to learn more about the deacon’s role and mission, our deacon intern, Wendy Pohlhaus, is giving a presentation explaining the deacon’s ministry after the 10 am service on Sunday, May 3.

Trivia Night Mission Trip Fundraiser Friday, May 8 at 7:00 pm
Put your useless knowledge to good use on Friday, May 8, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm for a Trivia Night where the competition is fierce and the prizes are delightfully pointless! Admission is a donation of any size (suggested $10-$15) at the door to support our Youth Group’s mission trip to Philadelphia this July. Bring your cell phone to participate in the game and an appetite for the delicious snacks our teens are whipping up (along with soft drinks). Come prove you’re a "know-it-all," stay for the fellowship, and help our youth reach the City of Brotherly Love! The number of interested people is helpful for planning, so there is a sign up sheet on the credenza.
