BAPTISM THIS WEEK AT ST. PAUL’S

The Fourth Sunday of Easter

• Solemn Mass and Holy Baptism: God Willing, this Sunday at the 11:00 Mass, the Sacrament of Holy Baptism will be administered to Ethan Nathaniel Rose, son of Christian and Patti Rose
• Sunday's Appointed Readings: Acts 2: 42-47; Psalm 23; 1 Peter 2: 19-25;  John 10: 1-10;

UPCOMING COMMUNITY OPPORTUNITIES

• Community Meeting on Racial Justice and Reconciliation: A culminating event of our parish’s engagement with this issue will be a Panel Discussion open to the wider neighborhood.  Invited panelists include Mother Marie Tatro of the Diocese of Long Island, the Rev. Flora Bridges, of New York City, and Rabbi Person, also of New York.  Because several have voiced concern over the proposed date (Mother’s Day afternoon), possible rescheduling is in the works.  Please watch for announcements!
• ST PAUL’S FLEA  -- May 20 / 21 --  Yes, that’s right, a two-day long Flea Market in our Parish Hall.  Note the early spring dates; just in time for your spring cleaning.  There is NO fall flea market scheduled this year; we hope to raise an even larger amount of money by running our sale as usual on Saturday, and continuing on Sunday after Church.  DONATIONS:  We are now accepting donations of clean, unbroken, non-electronic household goods and clothing of good quality.   (Midweek deliveries by appointment.)
