This Week’s Notes
It Takes a Community to Build a Disciple
Habitat Seeks New Brand of Volunteers
The PAWCATUCK NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER IS IN NEED OF FOOD for their pantry. The donation especially helpful right now is a new product called “Casserole Bakes” and “Homestyle Bakes” – these are similar to Hamburger Helper but with meat included – a complete meal in a box. Also on their wish list: Canned tuna and chicken, chili, and fruit as well as fruit juice (in plastic, please!). Help to end local hunger everytime you shop! Donations can be dropped in the back of the church or directly at the PNC. Thank you for your support.

WANTED: Anyone interested in prison ministry! Come to the First Annual Prison Ministries Forum (sponsored by FAITH BEHIND BARS) at Diocesan House on Sat., Apr. 19th from 9:30 to 1:30 p.m. The Rt. Rev. Laura Ahrens will give the welcome address; James Tillman, wrongly imprisoned for more than 18 years for a crime that DNA evidence proved he did not commit, will speak about The Faith to Move Forward: how religion and spirituality have allowed him to forgive a system that had sentenced him to 45 years in prison.

A $10. fee covers lunch in beautiful Diocesan House and materials. Registration deadline is April 9, and registration information is posted in the Parish Hall. Car-pooling is being arranged. For more information, call the Rev. Valerie Dixon at 860-691-1522 or talk to Ann Moore.
NEEDED – a gently-used laptop with Windows XP so that we can do Power Point presentations on our big screen. If you have one and would like to donate it to the church, it would be greatly appreciated!
