Sunday, April 28 - Come 4th Sunday, "Awesome Communion" Celebration

On Sunday, April 28 as part of Come 4th Sunday, we will have an "Awesome Communion" celebration, including music by our Folk Group.  Kids can dress up in any color they like and wear the stoles they made on Bread Day. They'll bring up the gifts at offertory and gather around the altar for a closer look during the Eucharistic Prayer and help break the bread.  In the Episcopal Church, unlike our Roman Catholic friends, children are welcome to receive communion after their baptism and as soon as they can receive and eat a piece of bread, so we do not have a special First Communion rite.  But on this Sunday we will celebrate during worship and after worship at a reception in the parish hall.

​

Sunday, April 28 - Blanket-Cutting Event

Families are invited to enjoy blanket making during the Awesome Communion reception following service on April 28. Please bring your scissors!  The blankets will be included in the Layette Sunday collection that will be donated to Philadelphia Nurse-Family Partnership.
