May 2 - The Dove Deadline

A new Dove deadline (but you're free to start early!) -- Thursday, May 2nd. It'll be here before we know it; so first call for the next issue: a request to send photos and text to let us all know what you've been doing during the month of April. We are such a busy congregation and there are so many interesting activities that you are all involved in! Thanks in advance. vicki.brooks24@comcast.net

CHS History in the making

CHS was founded in 1966; that’s a lot of history and how things have changed! We’ve gone from the old sanctuary to the beautiful space in which we worship today and many events. Sandy Burton compiled an history for our first 25 years as a parish but it has not been updated. So, calling all you amateur archeologists, we need help reading through 33 years of Trumpeters, vestry minutes, bulletins to bring this document up to date. Interested in helping? Contact Marge.keller@comcast.net

Celebrating 37 Years!

Please join us on Saturday, June 29th to celebrate together 37 years of Phil's ministry at CHS. The celebration will start at 4PM with Evensong in the Sanctuary followed by a a cocktail hour and sit down/stand up buffet dinner at Church of the Holy Spirit. It will be a joyful evening and opportunity to share stories and memories with Phil and others from our community as we reminisce about the last 37 years. 

And Vicki Brooks is still collecting photos of that 37 years to use at the celebration -  Vicki’s email for digital photos is vicki.brooks24@comcast.net

Preparing for Sunday

(Lectors & Intercessor and others serving) 

Find the lessons appointed for Sunday here >

Sunday’s readings proclaim that Jesus is risen and present with us. In Acts, Peter preaches about the power of God in Jesus and calls his listeners to respond with repentance and conversion. 1 John assures us that Jesus intercedes for us, removing our sin and calling us to the obedience of love. In today’s gospel, Jesus invites the disciples to touch his risen body and to understand the meaning of the scriptures.
