Dear Friends in Christ,
Alleluia. Christ is risen. The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia!
This Sunday is the Fast of Pentecost – the celebration of the giving of the Holy Spirit, the “birthday” of the Church, and one of the four major baptismal feast days. This is always an important and fun Sunday in the life of the parish. Please plan on joining us for worship, wearing red, and bringing something yummy for coffee hour after the 10 am service.
We’ll also be acknowledging our Sunday School students and thanking our teachers.
Here are this week’s announcements. Please see especially:
  • Rummage Sale (Fun and Fundraising)
  • Dinner with Vets (Helping Hands)
  • BBQ with the Bishop (Parish Life Events)
  • Pentecost (Worship)

WORSHIP
Pentecost, this Sunday, June 4! Wear red!
As we celebrate the giving of the Holy Spirit, we’ll hear the Gospel in a number of different languages, and renew our Baptismal Covenant. At the 10 am service we’ll start with a Pentecost procession with our Christian (Catholic) Community friends, starting in front of the Parish House. After worship we’ll join forces for a celebratory coffee hour. Please be sure to make yourself a name-tag as we gather at the Parish House. The Christian Community have been our partners in the V.A. Dinners, and we have supported them in some of their work with the Hezekiah Project street ministry in Baltimore. Fr. Joe McDonough will be here from Baltimore and will share at coffee hour a little bit about the ministry there.

Friends and neighbors are invited to be part of the effort and fellowship Questions? Speak to Susie Harris.

Wednesday Walkabouts How well do you know the neighborhoods that All Saints’ serves? No matter how often you drive through a place, you never see it the same way as when you walk it. This summer we’ll have evening Walkabouts in three parish neighborhoods: Stirling Main Street, Meyersvile Circle, and Basking Ridge/Warren River Walk. Each walk will last about 45 minutes, with a meal at a local restaurant afterwards to share fellowship and talk about what we have seen and learned. More details to come, but here are the dates. You are invited to come to one or all three! Questions? Speak to Jane Hayden, Hugh Wallace, or Afsaneh Thursfield.

Any interested gardeners – parishioners and neighbors, kids and families – are welcome to a plot. What should you plant? Flowers, herbs, vegetables, pollinator-friendly plants – whatever suits your fancy and your ability to tend a plot! You can take your produce home, or share it with Seniors in town through Long Hill Senior Center. To get started with a plot, speak to Jane Hayden, 770-855-3754.

DIOCESE OF NEWARK….AND BEYOND
Prayer for the Bishop’s Search - Gracious God, we, your people in the Diocese of Newark, give you thanks and praise for your work among us and through us, generation to generation. Lead us in the months ahead as we prayerfully search for our next Bishop. Raise up for us a steadfast steward who will embrace our broad and blessed diversity and uphold the apostolic heritage of your Church. Guide us to a faithful witness who speaks the Gospel truth in love and joy, and intimately knows your Word and world. Direct us, your disciples, in our discernment so our faith may increase and our works glorify your Name. All this we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen.

CHRISTIAN PRACTICES
Pentecost in Two Minutes
Take a look at this short, snappy video which describes Pentecost. it was produced by a Roman Catholic group, and is equally true for Episcopalians! https://youtu.be/J5tr4pqWIo4
Come, Holy Spirit, and enkindle the hearts of your faithful.

Thy Kingdom Come, Day 6
Ascension and Pentecost blessings,
Vicki+
