SRCA NEWS AND NOTES

Dear Friends in Christ,

This coming Sunday we celebrate Palm Sunday, or the Sunday of the Passion of Our Lord. We will begin our worship with the Liturgy of the Palms, during which we bless the palm branches and hear about Jesus' triumphal entry in Jerusalem. Our shouts of, "HOsanna!" quickly become cries of, "crucify him" as we participate in the reading of the Passion Narrative from Mark's gospel. 

LENTEN STUDY
Our Lenten Study, It Starts With One, will conclude Wednesday evening at the 304. Soup, salad and bread are served at 6:15, with the study beginning at 7:00. At 8:00 (except for the first week) we will share Holy Communion together. The evening will conclude by 8:30. I am encouraging you to make this a part of your Lenten discipline. This coming Wednesday we will be discussing Acts, Chapter 6.  Everyone is welcome to come join the fellowship and the discussion!.

PLAN TO ATTEND and INVITE, INVITE, INVITE: Good Friday: April 6th. Simple Supper to fund Ghana missions at 5:30, Service of Tenebrae at 7:00. Plan to make this a part of your Holy week preparation for Easter.

FAMILY CAMP
The date is set for our best family camp yet. On June 22-24 I am praying many of you will join the fun at the Bishop Claggett Center, located about an hour from South Riding. Our Theme this year is 
"Trials, Temptations, and Triumphs: 
Warrior. Liar. Hero. Murderer. King." New adult small groups and activities for youth and children will be ready fro participants to enjoy! The "I'm interested" sign up sheet will be on the hospitality table.

YARD SALE
The South Riding Yard Sale date is May 5th. SRCA will have a table for the sale of books, DVD's, CD's, and games. Please begin now to collect your things. A drop off point will be announced shortly. We will need help that day. Please talk to Mike Stombock to volunteer. 

WOMEN'S TEA
Sunday, April 29th at 12:30 all the women of the parish are invited to Eggspectations for a women's tea/lunch. Please let Maryann Branch know if you plan to attend. 

WOMEN'S RETREAT
Our spring Women's retreat at eh Crab Shack is scheduled for May 18-20. We are praying for many of our women to  be able to join us for this time apart. Theme and signup will be announced shortly.
