Dear Parishioners, Thanks so much to all the folks who helped make our Palm Sunday and Easter services worshipful and meaningful. Thanks too for all of your financial contributions. We are still behind in our finances, but hoping to catch up as we move forward. (Detailed financial information is always available to anyone who asks.) On behalf of the Slaughter family, many thanks too to all who helped with Millie Slaughter’s funeral the Friday before Palm Sunday. This coming Sunday, April 7th, we will have our Parish Pot Luck Luncheon. Joe Rubio and crew will be grilling chicken. Bring yourself, bring a friend, and bring a dish, dessert, or other item to share as we gather after the 11:00 Sunday Service. Please remember that Sunday school for pre-school and elementary kids will continue at our 11 a.m. services. We will have the Children’s moment near the beginning of church and the kids will head out and come back just before we start the Communion part of the service. Last year, we asked folks to send us photos of their mothers and fathers for Mother’s Day and Father's Day. We put those on our screen during the Sunday services as a tribute and a way of honoring our parents. If you would like to participate, please email us a picture of your mom by May 7th. And send a picture of your dad by June 11th. Label them Mother’s day or Father’s Day and send them to christchurchlaredo@gmail.com Also coming in May 9th we will have a Thursday evening family friendly event for Ascencion Day. Stay tuned for more information. Jesus is risen! Hallelujah! Hosanna! Queridos feligreses, Muchas gracias a todas las personas que ayudaron con nuestros servicios del Domingo de Ramos y de Pascua. Tuvimos cultos llenos de adoración y significado. Gracias también por todas sus contribuciones financieras. Todavía estamos atrasados en nuestras finanzas, pero esperamos ponernos al día a medida que avanzamos. (La información financiera detallada siempre está disponible para cualquiera que la solicite). En nombre de la familia Slaughter, muchas gracias también a todos los que ayudaron con el funeral de Millie Slaughter el viernes anterior al Domingo de Ramos. El próximo domingo, 7 de abril, tendremos nuestro almuerzo parroquial. Joe Rubio y su equipo asarán pollo. Traiga usted mismo, traiga a un amigo y traiga un plato, postre u otro artículo para compartir mientras nos reunimos después del servicio dominical de las 11:00. Recuerde que en la misa de las 11 continuará la escuela dominical para niños de preescolar y primaria. Tendremos el momento de los niños cerca del comienzo de la iglesia y los niños saldrán y regresarán justo antes de que comencemos la parte del servicio de Comunión. El año pasado, le pedimos a la gente que nos enviara fotos de sus madres y padres para el Día de la Madre y el Día del Padre. Los ponemos en nuestra pantalla durante los servicios dominicales como tributo y forma de honrar a nuestros padres. Si desea participar, envíenos por correo electrónico una foto de su madre antes del 7 de mayo. Y envía una foto de tu papá antes del 11 de junio. Etiquétalos como Día de la Madre o Día del Padre y envíalos a christchurchlaredo@gmail.com También el 9 de mayo tendremos un evento familiar el jueves por la noche para el Día de la Ascensión. Estén atentos para más información. ¡Jesús ha resucitado! ¡Aleluya! ¡Hosana! |
