A NOTE FROM THE CHOIR: As explained during Lent, the choir has been learning music from the Sewanee Service – the music to be used for the service on June 6, celebrating 300 years of Anglican worship in the Diocese. During the season of Lent, we used the Kyrie from this service, and on April 11 we introduced the Sanctus and Benedictus. It is our intention in the near future to introduce the Sewanee Service music for the Agnus Dei and Gloria.
Some Diocesan 2010 Celebration Pins are still available for $3 each. If you would like one please see Wendy any Sunday after church.

PWRDF: There are immemorial cards for the Primates Fund on the table at the back of the church. They are self explanatory and a worthwhile way of remembering friends or relatives as this fund assists people around the world.
