Episcopal Visit - April 21st

Bishop Hicks will be making his episcopal visit on the 3rd Sunday after Easter (April 21). God willing Trevor Mitchell will be confirmed on that day.

All are invited to join us on Saturday evening for the Offices of Instruction with Bishop Hicks on April 20th at 7:30 pm.

What are the Offices of Instruction? These are offices of questions and answers that contain expositions of the Creed, the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, the Church, the Sacraments and the Ministry (meant to be learned before Confirmation).

Briefly Noted:

▪ There is a joint meeting of the Altar Guild and Flower Guild scheduled for Sunday, April 14th at 11:30 am. All members of these guilds are invited. Anyone who is interested in being a part of these ministries is also invited to attend.
▪ Service Schedules for April are now available online here.
▪ The Rector strongly urges all parishioners to save the date for an important seminar that we will host on Saturday, May 4th. Brochures with more information are available in the narthex. Click here for more information online. RSVP to the church office.
▪ Please visit the diocesan website for more information about "Women's Day", which St. Mark's is hosting on May 3rd - for more information, click here.
▪ Helen Cassidy, mother of Ray Cassidy, passed away on Tuesday morning. A viewing will take place on Sunday (6-8pm) at Jacob Ruth Funeral Home (8413 Germantown Ave, Chestnut Hill). A Funeral Mass will be said on Monday at 10 AM (Seven Dolors RCC, Wyndmoor, Pa).
▪ From Bernie McGorrey: My cousin’s daughter is in CHOP with a fractured pelvis and is in shock, but otherwise is very much alive. This is miraculous when you look at the wreck online and see the passenger side of the car which was “T-Boned”, which is where she was sitting. Meredith is the third of my widowed cousins’ five children.

Yard Sale

Grace Church is running a yard sale on April 13. They could use any donated items that could be sold at the sale. Specifically, items that we might send to a thrift store could be sent to Grace and they would benefit. Please put any donated items under the coat rack in the undercroft.

Father Fitzpatrick also said there is a great need for bicycles, even if they are not working. There is someone in the congregation who does repairs. Also, microwave ovens, fans, window air conditioners are other items would be much appreciated.
