    Dear Families,

    I write to you on a beautiful, warm and sunny afternoon, in part to ask you to bring warm jackets for Church School this Sunday, when it will be not-quite-so warm and lovely. We will continue to meet outside in the Bishop Garden for in-person Church School this week. I know many of you are feeling the rise of cases in schools, and we will do all we can to create a safe and warm-in-spirit gathering space. 

    This is also a big weekend, with Mother's Day on Sunday. For those who care for children, in all ways and forms, we offer a prayer of thanksgiving. For those who have lost a mother or caregiver, we offer a prayer of comfort. With the children this weekend, our in-person time will celebrate all our caregivers. 

    Peace,

    Bryn

      End of Year Youth Lock-In: June 24-25

      Please save the date for a Youth Group Lock-In! We'll gather the evening of Friday, June 24 for a progressive dinner, games, and fellowship. On Saturday, we will learn more about a local organization making a difference in the community, and spend a couple hours working with them. Registration will open next week and close on June 13. Please reach out to Eva Dalzell (edalzell@3crowns.org) with any questions or if you'd like to help out!

      Can You Help with our Wonderful Fellowship Times?

      You know all those delicious treats and fruits that our children dive into each Sunday during fellowship time? Would you be willing to sign up for one Sunday, to bring those treats?

      We have a new Sign-Up Genius link for Fellowship Hour during May.  Please consider helping out. The Signup Genius link is here. 

      Graduation Sunday on May 15

      On Sunday, May 15th at the 10:00 am service, we will be honoring this year's graduating seniors, as well as the members of this year's confirmation class. Join us as we recognize their hard work, give thanks for their presence in our community, and bless their next steps forward! The celebration will continue with a reception after the service.

      Midweek@Epiphany Spring Schedule

      Midweek@Epiphany is a relaxed evening of fellowship, food, and formation (learning about God and faith) that happens roughly twice a month in the middle of the school & work week.

      We begin at 6:15 with a delicious dinner (cooked by our Midweek Dinner Team) and time to socialize. At 7pm, adults and youth are invited to a Bible study with Rev Nick in Upper Parish Hall, and children are invited to a time of faith-centered art and music with Bryn, Jeremy, and ministry volunteers in Hadley Hall. 

      The next Midweek@Epiphany dates are:

      • Wednesday, May 18
      • Wednesday, June 1

      All are welcome!
