Hello faith family! This is The Seventh Sunday of Easter, May 21, 2023, Year A. Next Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, so get your RED outfits ready! Please be reminded, the City of Newark’s Memorial Day Parade is this Sunday. This is the parade that goes backwards down Main Street. The ceremony on the green begins at 1 p.m., but streets will be blocked off a littler earlier. You are welcome to park at the church and walk down. The weather should be nice!

In this strange pandemic time, the church is aware that some of its members are struggling to make ends meet. If you are in this situation, please let the clergy know of your needs, pray for the church, and feel no guilt about your giving. But if you are able to give, options for giving include mailing a check to our church or online giving.

Regardless of whether we are together in-person or virtually, we are connected by the Holy Spirit: Always together; never apart…maybe in distance, but never in heart.
