Wayne It’s Spring! The sun stepped over the equator at 5:01 this morning. Trees are starting to bud, crocuses and daffodils are poking out of the ground. The sound of many leaf blowers fills the air. Let the Spring cleaning begin! Lent is a Spring cleaning of the soul. How’s that going? Join us on Sunday mornings, and Wednesdays at 12:00 noon and again at 6:00 p.m. for our Lenten discussion, and we’ll work on it together.  Holy Week Schedule Palm Sunday, April 13, 8:00 & 10:30 a.m. Palm Sunday liturgy, Passion Holy Tuesday, April 15, 9:00 a.m. Clergy Day with Chrism Mass and Renewal of Vows (Dover)             Maundy Thursday, April 17, 6:00 p.m. Supper and Holy Eucharist             Good Friday, April 18, 12:00 noon Good Friday Liturgy, followed by Stations of the Cross             Sunday, April 20, 5:30 a.m. Easter Vigil, followed by breakfast, 10:30 a.m. Festival Holy Eucharist We need readers for the Palm Sunday Passion. Ten parts need to be filled for the Passion story to be read at 10:30 a.m., besides the Narrator and Jesus. A sign-up sheet is posted in the Lobby.

Hello Immanuel Highlands - Step Up and Step Out! Calling all members and friends of Immanuel Church Highlands to Step Up and help us meet our goal of 20 walkers and $2,000 for the 10th annual Highmark Walk, in support of our long-time partner Friendship House. If we meet that goal, Friendship House will get an additional $1,000 in matching funds. This is life-saving, life-changing support for those of our brothers and sisters who are facing the perils of homelessness. Then, on May 3 at 8:30 in the morning, Step Out for a joyous celebratory Walk in the Park (Harriet Tubman park) with hundreds of your neighbors and friends. It’s noisy, it’s crowded, it’s fun, and it’s only 5K on a nearly-flat boardwalk. If you can’t join us, you can still support someone who is walking.  Here’s the web link to sign up or donate:  http://hcf.convio.net/site/TR/Wilmington/HighmarkWalk?pg=entry&fr_id=4924 Or call me, Carl Burnam, at (302) 354-5439 and I’ll sign you up. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday May 3.
