fresh air, exercise and prayer

Sunday, April 20th - Spring Hike at 1000 Acre Swamp in Penfield - 3 PM. Lace up your sneakers or hiking boots and join us for an amble at 1000 Acre Swamp in Penfield. The trails are flat, and there's a boardwalk that goes through the swamp for excellent bird watching opportunities. We'll pause at various spots along the trail for reflection as well as photo opportunities. This walk is good for all ages. Contact Kristin Romell at kwr221@aol.com for more information.

Pizza Night at Reformation

Hi everybody - Just a reminder that this month's "Make Your Own Pizza" Night is at Reformation at 6:15 PM on Friday, April 11th.

I'll provide pizza dough, sauce and cheese - you bring your favorite toppings - pepperoni, mushrooms, spinach, ham and pineapple - you name it, and either a drink or dessert to share.

After dinner, the youth will play volleyball in the gym and younger children, families and everyone else will play board games, card games, twister, etc.

Let me know if you'll be there so I can buy enough dough! Bring a friend!

This is from PJ - about LTSP - seminary

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope the Lenten season is treating you all well and as much as you are experiencing God's grace you are also experiencing Sabbath every now and then.

I am not sure if it got out or not, but if not, I wanted to let everyone know that this Monday at St Timothy, Louise Johnson the director of admissions from LTSP will holding a discussion time with youth and young adults interested in ministry.

It is an open session beginning at 3:00 and going till about 7ish. By open session, I mean come and go as needed. There will be a dinner at 5:00 and worship at 6:00. The purpose of this is to have youth and young adults hear about the seminary experience, ask questions, and just to talk with others who are interested in ministry.

Please talk to those youth or young adults that are interested in this possibility and pass the word. If you have anyone, please let me know, so I can reserve a place at the dinner table. The meal seems to be meatloaf, scalloped potatoes, and beans.

This is an opportunity provided by Project Connect and therefore is not focused on just LTSP, but seminary in general.

Take care. PJ
