Adult Formation Sundays at 9:15 am
Adult Formation on April 15 we will explore protestant spiritual practices. We are used to such “catholic” practices as the Rule of St. Benedict and others like it. But what of the reformers like Martin Luther, how did they pray? Join us to maybe learn of a new tradition of prayer.
Wilsonville Community Food Bank
The Wilsonville Food Bank has asked if we can donate food again this year, and like last year have requested that we concentrate on selected food items: cereal, peanut butter and fresh fruit.
Please bring your donated food items and place them in the small grocery cart that will be in the hallway near the new information desk. A cash donation box will also be in the grocery cart for those who would like to donate money or write a check.
The Wilsonville Food Bank really appreciates our weekly food donations! They can count on our deliveries ever Tuesday morning. They serve over 125 families consisting of over 400 adults and children.
Please direct any inquiries to the MDE Committee.

Pentecost Sunday at St. Francis on May 20
One of the many lovely traditions at our lovely St. Francis Church involves the making of origami doves which are hung from the chandeliers in the Nave on Pentecost Sunday. Before these doves are folded each one of you is invited to write a prayer of petition, thanksgiving, and in this year especially, a prayer for guidance as we begin the search process for a new rector.
The papers will be available in the narthex on Sunday, April 22, until the actual date of folding them on May 6th.
The doves flying over us on Pentecost are an awesome sight. Take part in this, and put your prayers up there!!
Steven Hurst, head of our Prayer Chain at St. Francis, reminds us each week that prayers work, and they do.
