STATIONS OF THE CROSS Join us at 6:00 p.m. each Friday during Lent. Walk with Jesus down the road to Calvary on The Way of the Cross, a powerful devotional liturgy that follows Jesus through His passion and death. At each station a meditation, versicle and response, and prayer is read

AN ALL NIGHT WATCH follows the Maundy Thursday service on April 17 and continues until the Good Friday Liturgy at 9:00 a.m. We are invited to keep watch on this night even as Jesus asked His disciples to keep watch with Him in the Garden of Gethsemane as He prayed about His impending crucifixion. Please sign the poster in the narthex. More than one person may sign for each segment.

ENVELOPES FOR EASTER FLOWERS are in the pew card holders. You may contribute any amount for these flowers. Please note whether you would like the flowers in thanksgiving for an important event in your life or in memory of a loved one. Envelopes must be received by April 6 to have information listed in the bulletin.

KROGER CARDS Do you shop at Kroger’s or Scott’s? If so, there is a very simple way to provide funds for St. Alban’s. Simply sign the poster on the bulletin board today, indicating that you would like to purchase a $5 gift card. Then reload that card at the customer service desk at the store where you shop. Each time the St. Alban’s account reaches $1,000, we get a 3% rebate check. Many of you have credit cards which generate points for you. If you reload using your credit card, you get points for that and the church gets credit for the reload amount.

UPDATED CHURCH DIRECTORIES were sent to all members who have given us their e-mail addresses. A few hard copies are available in the narthex for those who do not have e-mail.

COPIES OF AROUND THE DIOCESE for March are available on the table in the narthex for those who do not receive them by e-mail.
