Sunday's readings and verger schedule
Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Listen Community Dinner
Our March 16th dinner at the Listen Center was a huge success!
We had plenty of food for seconds and take home meals to bring to those family members unable to attend. A BIG thank you to all those who contributed food and those who helped in the kitchen. We had lots of fun!
The next Listen Community Dinner is May 11th and being organized by Ev and Holly. Our menu will upcoming in next week’s announcements.

Episcopal Relief and Development Ingathering
Last Sunday, March 15 was the official ERD annual ingathering; however, the congregation was rather small. Therefore, I hope those of you who were not there or who forgot will give next Sunday or mail your contribution to the parish. Checks can be made out to St. Paul's with ERD on the memo line. Thanks for your support for this worldwide ministry of the Episcopal Church. Kristin Wood Parish representative

New Verger Schedule
I am working on putting together a new Verger schedule. This will include some extra services, including Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and the Vigil. We also need extra readers for the Sunday after Easter, which will be a “lessons and carols” service. I would love to have some volunteers for these various services, so please email me.
We can always use more folks to read the lessons, the psalm/prayers and to be hosts. Please let me know if any of these interest you. And please let me know if you are not going to be in church on a particular Sunday. My email is dbcpiccolo@gmail.com.
Thank you, Cindy Patenaude
