Karen Krauss & our Flower Guild Angels can use your help to decorate the church on Saturday, April 15 at 10:00 a.m. We need sweeper uppers, plant wrappers technicians, and doers of other small tasks that will glorify God and beautify the sanctuary into our Easter Day.

We do need extra hands and are very grateful for the help, a wonderful time of fellowship & service. Light refreshments will be provided along with coffee, tea, and juice. We will be finished by 1pm with your help. Any questions, please contact Karen at krauss831@yahoo.com

Co-sponsored by St. Thomas Parish and the University of Delaware Department of English.

Beginning April 2nd, the Adult Education group will begin exploring the book and movie, THE SHACK. For those who have not read the book, we don’t want to spoil the story, so suffice to say this is a family tragedy with unending grief until God becomes part of the story.

In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant, THE SHACK wrestles with the timeless question: Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain? The answer Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You’ll want everyone you know to read this book.

The book can be purchased through Barnes & Noble The Shack or Amazon The Shack [click on the links to take you to the sites].

Please join us at 9:15 a.m. in the Parlor on any Sunday. For further information, contact Larry Duggan at lgjd@udel.edu or Ronnie Wilbur at vfwilbur@gmail.com.
