From the Senior Warden: April showers bring May flowers. Easter is passing, and on May 20 we have Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit comes upon us. Everything is new and fresh as we begin our newness together, sharing hope and life, helping each other, as we begin to see changes within the church. Let me update you on the things to come. I have contacted Fr. Karl Lusk and we are arranging for his team, the Pastoral Response Team mentioned in last month’s “Vestry Notes” column, to come and give us a visit. This will be happening soon, and we will let you know when a date has been set. I e-mailed the always- busy Canon Amy to ask her help with the search committee and am waiting for her reply. Canon Jason will be here on June 10. Please share any concerns with your vestry. We cannot fix things if we do not know what is wrong. Go to the vestry meetings. If you have an idea, bring it up; we can talk about it. If you don’t get an answer from the vestry, let me know. I am here to keep things going. I will be out of town on family matters May 9-19, so the Junior Warden will be the person to contact during that time. God bless and keep you all safe.

From the Senior Warden:

April showers bring May flowers. Easter is passing, and on May 20 we have Pentecost, when the Holy

Spirit comes upon us. Everything is new and fresh as we begin our newness together, sharing hope and

life, helping each other, as we begin to see changes within the church.

Let me update you on the things to come. I have contacted Fr. Karl Lusk and we are arranging for his team,

the Pastoral Response Team mentioned in last month’s “Vestry Notes” column, to come and give us a visit.

This will be happening soon, and we will let you know when a date has been set. I e-mailed the always-

busy Canon Amy to ask her help with the search committee and am waiting for her reply. Canon Jason

will be here on June 10.

Please share any concerns with your vestry. We cannot fix things if we do not know what is wrong. Go to

the vestry meetings. If you have an idea, bring it up; we can talk about it. If you don’t get an answer from

the vestry, let me know. I am here to keep things going.

I will be out of town on family matters May 9-19, so the Junior Warden will be the person to contact during

that time.

God bless and keep you all safe.

Gary Steffen, Senior Warden

“Casserole Crew” to help out church members in times of

crisis. If anyone would be interested in participating or has

just go to the next meeting! Tuula will also take any

donations of personal hygiene items, gently used clothes,

shoes, or purses etc. to Warm Blessings.

on May 27 after the second

service. All current members and

anyone interested in joining

should attend.

- Search - Al Poikonen is re-working the information

gathered last year for the Parish Profile.

- Sunday Servers - Matt Suhar, vestry liaison for Sunday

rotation as acolytes, lectors, intercessors, and ushers, in

order to give the current servers an occasional break.

Canticle 13 is an alternate for the Psalm reading

chosen for Trinity Sunday. Here it is for those of you who would like to add to your lectionary meditations.

A Song of Praise Benedictus es, Domine

Song of the Three Young Men, 29-34

Glory to you, Lord God of our fathers;

you are worthy of praise; glory to you.

Glory to you for the radiance of your holy Name;

we will praise you and highly exalt you for

ever.

Glory to you in the splendor of your temple;

on the throne of your majesty, glory to you.

Glory to you, seated between the Cherubim;

we will praise you and highly exalt you for

ever.

Glory to you, beholding the depths;

in the high vault of heaven, glory to you.

Glory to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

we will praise you and highly exalt you for

ever.
