5th Sunday of Lent

Palm Sunday Parking – Please do not park in the gold colored space in the back of the parking lot. We need that space for our procession. We are asking everyone to bring some fish and/or a side dish for our Gus Killiveros Palm Sunday Celebration. Fr. Lawrence will be asking for donations for the St. Eugene Summer Camp.

Baptisms and Chrismations this year will take place April 4^th (Lazarus Saturday) – ½ of our baptisms. April 5^th (Palm Sunday during Divine Liturgy, all Chrismations), and April 11^th (Holy Saturday) at 10am the other ½ of our Baptisms. Exciting time for our catechumens and indeed our entire community.

Flowers for Pascha – As many of you are aware, flowers are very expensive! We want to make Pascha a grand celebration in part by decorating our church with Easter Lilies and decorating our iconostasis. Please contribute funds to the flower box in the Hall or give your contribution to Diane Holmes. You may also donate online, visit our Online Give page and select Flowers as the fundung.
Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to help decorate the Church following the Royal Hours of Pascha on Friday April 10^th.

Agape Meal on Pascha will be at 2:00pm. The Church will provide the hamburgers and hot dogs. We are asking for everyone to bring a small side dishes to go along with the BBQ.

Receipt of donations for taxes – please ask Jason Batson (treasurer) if you would like to have one for taxes.

Parish Photo Project – Lydia Acton is leading an effort to organize our many parish photos and archives. Please let her know if you are interested in helping.

Small Storage Shed out back gets broken into at will by anyone. Please encourage parish council members to have that torn down so that we can avoid future break-ins and bad activity around our church property.

Next Church Projects – we will be designing and getting a beautiful counter made for the narthex that matches our existing furniture. I am also hoping to remove many of the pews prior to Great and Pascha 2027 to accommodate our growth and proper Orthodox Worship.

Please feel free to contact Fr. Lawrence for questions or to visit.
