Announcements:

Child Abuse Prevention Awareness:
The month of April is "Child Abuse Prevention Awareness" month, and the "Brown Bag Campaign" for the Rainbow Room.
For those who are not familiar with the "Rainbow Room" The Henderson County Community Partners (HCCP) Rainbow Room provides Child Protective Services (CPS) the emergency resources needed to assist abused and neglected children. All supplies in the Rainbow Room are provided by generous community donations. The "Brown Bag Campaign" is kicked-off every year during April, but donations are gratefully excepted all year long. The Rainbow Room excepts only NEW items. Our philosophy is: "Abused Children do not need abused things." Brown bags will be placed in the Parish Hall for those who would like to participate. There will be a list of items needed inside of each bag. You can return your Brown Bag to the church or you can deliver it to the CPS office at 115 S. Murchison. Thank you for sharing with the abused and neglected children of Henderson County!

Stamps:
We are in great need of postcard and first class stamps. Please put all stamp donations in the collection plate or give them directly to Father Perschall or Vicki Beeler.

Newsletters:
If you would like to assist in the production and mailing of our monthly newsletter please contact Father Don.

All Saints Camp:
All Saints Camp (418 Stanton Way, Pottsboro) is now accepting registrations for Summer Camp 2007 that will carry the theme, "Listen! God is Calling." All Saints invites people of all ages to spend a week surrounded by God's creation and listening for God's call among the stately trees and wave-lapped shores. They have a camp for every age. Come join them!

New Wineskins conference:
April 11 – 15 at Ridgecrest Conference Center (Ridgecrest, NC). Speakers from around the world and Anglican missionaries from many agencies are coming to New Wineskins for Global Mission 2007. Their purpose is to inspire and equip Anglicans in the U.S. to fulfill our Lord's Great Commission to make disciples of all nations.
