“I simply tried to write… a
meditation; a quiet meditation
about illumination.”
~Morten Lauridsen
Light. Illumination. Pushing back
the darkness, and seeing, as if for
the first time, the hope, the
beauty, the joy.
Join us on May 1st as we
experience this lush, peaceful,
quiet meditation, and allow the
music and the text to open us to
the eternal, the numinous, the
ineffable. A Grand Idea:
Adopt-a-key!
Should you wish to contribute, please see Selma
Moore or Sue Stinson. Contributions may also be
placed in the offertory plates or sent to the church
office with a note attached.
We are grateful for the fine response so far and will
have an update soon.

Vacation Bible School
June 27 to July 1
The theme for this year’s Vacation Bible School is
Joy in Jesus: Everywhere! All the Time!
One you’ve made room for Jesus, there’s no room that
can contain or confine the joy – it can be found
anywhere and everywhere, in all circumstances! Jesus’
joy is boundless, and there is great healing and freedom
in this truth.
Come join us for joy-filled week! There is room for your
gifts and love. Please talk to Sarah McTyre if you are
able to join this important summer ministry.
This year’s fall retreat will be held on Saturday, October 8 at
Christ the King Retreat Center in Syracuse. The outside
grounds span six acres with 18 gardens and a pond. The
peaceful, contemplative atmosphere will provide the perfect
environment to recharge, renew and refocus as we spend the
day together. Please mark your calendar and watch for more
information soon!
Joy and Justice:
A Lenten Conversation on Race
Many thanks to all who participated in the courageous Lenten conversations. During the last
session, groups around the tables discussed ways that we might move from awareness to
action as a faith community. The Christian Education Committee will compile these ideas and
share them with the Session so that we might all consider how God may be calling us to deeper
joy and stronger justice as we love our neighbors.

Day
On Saturday, April 30th 11am-3pm NIA Ministries will be
hosting its annual event Queen’s Day at Park Central! This
year we hope to serve at least 45-50 returning and new
participants from various women’s shelters, women’s
groups, churches and individuals active in their
communities. This year we are featuring several guest
speakers and activities to assist in making this year’s event
a success.
Since 2011, NIA Ministries and the women of the
“EXPRESS” Yourself Support Program have planned,
organized and hosted Queen’s Day event at Park Central.
Planning the event gives them a sense of purpose and
accomplishment. They participate in the preparation of
the food, decorations, and the development of the activities
and solicit various donations for the free raffle that allows
every participant to leave with a gift. Several volunteers
from Park Central have also participated in this event
through various tasks needed to make the event a success.
The purpose of the day will be to provide women a chance
to network and to connect and build community, to
provide women with an opportunity to develop and
enhance self-esteem, self-awareness & self-image, and to
provide resources, tools & techniques to cope with every
day life’s challenges.

We again have the opportunity to prepare and serve a meal at the Samaritan
Center on Saturday, April 23rd from 11:00 - 3:00. As usual your Mission
Committee will be coordinating the feeding and providing the funds for the
meal. We look to you, the congregation, to provide the person power to make
this happen, as you have so many times before.
Again we will need volunteers to order, pick up the food, prepare, serve and
clean up after the meal. Please save the date on your calendar and invite your
friends to come and join us in this mission.
WHY THE POOR
PAY MORE FOR
TOILET
PAPER?
Since we began collecting personal care items on communion Sundays to
share with our neighborhood food pantry, Joan Deppa spotted an article
in the Washington Post which offers an enlightened perspective on the
value of this ministry. Many of you are already aware of these dynamics,
and others will be surprised about “Why the poor pay more for toilet
paper….” It is worth the time to read. Here is the link:
