Support the Youth Group's ASP trip!
This summer from July 5-11, the J2A and Rite-13 groups will be traveling to Buchanan County, Virginia, to work with Appalachia Service Project (ASP). To support us on the trip, we're selling trip t-shirts. The youth will have these shirts to wear on the trip, but you, too, can have your very own SMSP ASP shirt! Our group will be at least 21-23 strong (15-17 youth, 6 adults), which is fantastic. This also requires multiple van rentals, scholarship support, and adult registrations, which adds up quickly.
T-shirts are for sale until May 15, and will be available for pickup on June 7. Shirts can be purchased at: https://bit.ly/4eryEj9 Please share the link with friends and family who may also want to wear their support.
We're really excited about the trip this summer, and we appreciate your support!

Blessing Our Graduates – May 10
On Mother’s Day, we will honor and pray for all graduates in the parish. This includes those graduating from preschool, 5th grade, middle school, high school, college, seminary, and other programs. Graduate names are in the bulletin and we will pray for them by name in each service. During Coffee Hour after second service, we will have a small gift for the graduates in attendance and they may join a group photo.
