, April 2 Walking the Stations of the Cross at Mt. Angel Abbey Please meet in the St. Francis parking lot on Saturday, March 13 or Tuesday, March 23 at 1:00 pm. We can then travel together to the Abbey. Walking the Stations of the Cross is a very old custom of walking from 1 to the next of 14 images (“Stations”) which depict Jesus on the day of his crucifixion as he walked from Pilate’s court to Mt. Calvary. At each Station we pause for a period of prayer. This is an outdoor walk and is very different than doing the Stations inside the church. It is often cool and maybe wet. It is also a longer, uphill walk. These more challenging conditions make us more aware perhaps, of the suffering of Jesus. Masks and social distancing will be required. For information, contact Dcn. Ken Russell, 503-887-5587 or kenrus60@gmail.com There will also be a service of the Stations of the Cross following the noon Good Friday Service, April 2 in the nave.  “Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness” (PS. 29:2) ‘Beauty’ helps set awe and wonder as the context for liturgy. The Altar Guild has an important responsibility in making the worship space beautiful. Flowers are symbolic of our joy in Christ and will be used to express this joy and beauty at the Easter Vigil and on Easter Day. The Altar Guild is accepting contributions for the Easter Flowers for 2021 beginning Sunday, March 14. Please fill out a special Easter flower contribution envelope or put ‘Easter Flowers’ on the memo line of your check and place it in the alms basin or turn it into the church office by March 20 for acknowledgement in the Easter bulletin. You can also use our online flower signup sheet link in the E-Blast or on our website. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Thank you! Our Altar Guild The Festival of the Resurrection of Our Lord is considered the” Queen” of all Christian festivals with beautiful flowers adorning the church sanctuary and narthex in celebration. The Altar Guild is responsible for these decorations, and very much welcomes the help of all the happy hands that want to participate in these creations. The Cross, font, Paschal Candle, sconces, narthex altar, Memorial Garden gate are all decorated for the celebration of this Festival Day. We will be following Covid precautions. If you are interested in helping, please contact one of us, and we can help you pick out one of the above projects, and then on the decoration day, Easter Saturday, we will have you in a separate area with the space, guidelines and flowers you will need. We very much need your help, but please let us know ahead of time if you can be there. Work time is April 3, at 9:00 am. Many thanks.

The goal is to bring together members of our church community, especially making it possible in these restricted times for new members of the church to get to know the more established members. We hope that you will sign up to show your interest using the online link and fill in the interest form. We plan to assign people randomly to groups of 6-8 people, whose initial commitment would be to meet a minimum of four times in four months. Meetings would be on Zoom and last for as long as you wish, and we may suggest some upbeat activities for you to consider. If all the members of the group have been vaccinated for Covid, then they would have the option to meet in person — perhaps for a lunch or potluck dinner. At the end of four months, if you are still interested, the groups will be shuffled so that you would meet a different group of people, again for four or more times in four months.
