We will gather in the courtyard for the balloon/bubble ceremony after the 11:00 service, and then proceed to Parker Hall.

TO HONOR MOTHERS, THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH HOME has sent us its traditional Mothers’ Day offering envelopes. Envelopes are in the pews – please be generous. All gifts will go to support the building of the new St. Luke’s Chapel.

Ned if you have not already indicated whether you wish to be baptized or confirmed on May 17 (Presiding Bishop at All Saints) or June 8 (Bishop Gulick here).

SAMMY'S PLAYGROUND HAS ARRIVED! Please go to Parker Hall to see the boxes sent by the Cedar Works playset manufacturer and a picture of what is to be! Thanks to the generosity of Anita Richards, we will have a special place for our Calvary children to play and an expression of love as Anita has named the playground in honor of her deceased grandson, Samuel Reed Pardue (1998 – 2003). Please see the May issue of the Calvary Connection for more information about a very special boy, Sammy. Sammy’s Playgound dedication will be June 1 at 10:45 a.m.

CALVARY BOOK CLUB: Mark your calendars for the next meeting that will be on Tuesday, June 3, at the home of Ceci Walcek. The book is The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards. The complete schedule is published in the May CONNECTION.

GRADUATES: As is the custom, we would like to recognize those in our Calvary family who are being graduated from high school or college this spring. The complete list will appear in the June-July issue of the CALVARY CONNECTION, but we need your help in making sure we know about everybody. Please give the names of the graduates you know about to Margaret Dickinson as soon as possible (email is mldickinson@calvaryepiscopal.org or call 587-6011, or just tell her!).

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL (VBS) registration is being accepted now.  Calvary is hosting for other area Episcopal Churches, including St. Matthew's, St. Paul's, St. Mark's, St. Andrew's, Resurrection, and hopefully OMS and St. George's too.  Please help us welcome children, youth, and adult volunteers by signing up today to help with supplies, but most of all to help with your presence. If you want a taste of Jerusalem, you can help transform Calvary.  See Callie if you have any questions.

RECYCLING CONTINUES: Glenna Harris and Georgea Ward are heading up a campaign to recycle all plastic, glass, tin, and metals. The bin is right outside the kitchen. We ask that you place all such materials in the bin (scraping the plates after hospitality hour, of course!). And don’t forget to save your aluminum cans for the Animal Care Society. (Please see the bulletin board next to the sacristy so you can enjoy a thank you note for the three carloads of “loot” we took to ACS last week, as well as a picture of note! Know also that we continue to accept toys, supplies, and sponsors, as we deliver cans often to ACS.)
