ANNOUNCEMENTS

 SUNDAY EVENING 5:30 Worship has guest musicians.  Come join our new Sunday evening worship service to see what it has to offer.  The service itself is held in the parish hall, which provides a smaller, more relaxed setting, one that is closer together and more intimate.  In addition, you will find the music is contemporary, and very uplifting.  We are blessed to have a couple of guest musicians joining us from Grace Episcopal who have been assisting with the music program lately.  Many of you know Ted Kimball who is a great guitar player.  Come and join us or tell a friend.

 PRAYERS FOR PEACE ON SATURDAY AT 11:00 A.M.  Every Saturday from now through the end of May please join us for prayers for peace on the lawn.  The prayers will be for our community and the world.  The prayer service will be at 11:00 a.m. and last for about twenty minutes to a half hour.  Come join us for the power of prayer.

VESTRY will meet this Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.

 KROGER COMMUNITY REWARDS POINTS.  As most of you know, Saint Alban’s receives money from the Kroger Community Rewards Program. This is the easiest fundraiser that we have and the money goes into our Camp Fund.  The program is very simple, use your Kroger plus card at the register and as long as it has been registered as well as designated for Saint Alban’s, the rewards would go into our fund. It is also important to note that the rewards that we receive will not affect your rewards points for gas or anything else. This is a completely separate program and you will still receive your points. This has to be done online, now I realize that registering your card online may be a bit challenging for some. So I will be bringing my computer to church on Sunday April 23rd and Sunday April 30th to assist anyone that needs help registering your card. I will be available after the 8:00 a.m. and before and after the 10:15 a.m. services.  Remember to bring with you your Kroger plus Card with you. Also, keep in mind that with this program even though you might have already done this that you will need to re-register each year sometime during the month of April. Thank you to everyone that participates in this program all year.  Julie Naunas.
