 Cross by Annunciation acolyte Justina, created for the May 24 online worship service. A FEW THINGS:
Giving is down in May, after holding steady in the first months of lockdown. If you are able to make a financial contribution, please do. Your church depends on it. It’s easy to set up text-to-give and after that, it’s as simple as texting a dollar amount. Get started by texting GIVE to 504-565-2682. You can also give using our EasyTithe website tool and of course, an old-fashioned check in the mail is still welcome. Pentecost, the birthday of the Church, is this Sunday -- bring out your red! It’s our tradition to wear red on this festival day, as a symbol of the fire of the Holy Spirit, and you’re invited to get creative with this at home. Get out your red track suit or fancy crimson hat or scarlet coffee mug (or hey, a bloody/virgin mary also counts) and let us know in the worship service chat or tag us on Facebook. Parish Directories are attached to this email and also available on the Mount Olivet and Annunciation websites for viewing, printing, or saving to your phone! Need to correct/update your listing? Let Kyran know! www.annunciationepiscopal.com/membership-directory.html www.mountolivet.org/member-directory.html Lagniappe!
