PENTECOST SUNDAY

This year, the Church celebrates the Day of Pentecost on May 24, marking the end of the season of Easter. The word “Pentecost” literally means “fifty,” as it falls fifty days after Easter Day.

Red is an appropriate color for Pentecost Sunday. On this day we remember the power and fire of “the Lord and Giver of Life,” who revealed himself as the promised one.

USHER TEAM TRAINING

All Ushers should attend one of two meetings to discuss changes in their duties related to the ORELC Citizens Response to a Violent Intruder (CRAVI) program.

On May 24 and May 31, immediately following service, we will meet in the sanctuary.

FOOD DONATION DRIVE

Leading up to our 5th Sunday fellowship meal on May 31, we will be collecting donations for the Northern RI Food Pantry in Cumberland, RI, in support of local families in need.

Please bring donations of all varieties of breakfast foods (cereal, otameal, breakfast bars) that would provide a good morning for local families.

A basket is in the foyer for your donations. Thank you so very much!
