Dress for Success‘ mission is to “empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire, and development tools to help them thrive in work and in life.” This April we will collect gently used, nearly-new professional attire for their clients. Look for clothing racks outside of Gifford Hall, where you can hang your donations. (There will also be bins for shoes, handbags, etc.) If you have any questions about the collection or what Dress for Success does, contact us in the church office or via our contact page.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus appears to Mary in a garden beside the tomb where he was buried. Naturally, she reaches for him, but he holds her off, saying “Do not hold onto me.” (John 20:17) Why? That is our focus this Easter morning. Come join Jesus and Mary in the garden as we celebrate the risen Christ.

All four gospels tell us that Jesus entered the Temple in Jerusalem, knocked over tables, released at least doves and perhaps other animals, and got pretty upset with the money changers. What’s all that about anyway? Good question.
