Finger foods, fruit, cheese and dessert are suggested.

As requested, Prayer Request Cards may now be found on hooks in the pews, as well as on the table at the

May is the month when St. Dunstans does hands on support at Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry. Please
remember to sign up for your opportunity to help. See Joe Stockbridge or Harvey Kelley for more

The 2015 Fair Committee had its first meeting on March 19th. At that meeting the committee discussed
how we might fund fair expenses. It was decided to have a series of small "pop up" baked goods and seedling
sales at coffee hour throughout the spring and summer. All members of the parish are encouraged to
contribute to this effort (a tray of seedlings, a bag of cookies, a loaf of bread or even a pie!) in the next seven
months. Full minutes of the meeting will be available before the next ECW meeting.
ALTAR FLOWERS:
Have a special event, birthday, anniversary or graduation you wish to mark? The May-July Altar Flower
sign-up sheet is located on the table in the Narthex.
Gentle reminder: Should you care to support the Coffee Hour ministry, there is a basket for donations on the
table in the Fellowship Hall.

Remember to wear your nametags each Sunday!
