Opening Prayer
Let us Pray:
Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s Body may show forth in our lives what we profess in our faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

PLANNED GIVING MINISTRIES MESSAGE
We are now going into our sixth week of Sheltering-in-Place and have had to
live our lives in a new, and often unusual ways to stay safe.
As a parish family we have had our first "Virtual Easter" where all services were on YouTube thanks to assistance and funds from Bishop Megan and the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California. Although certainly not the
face-to-face experience with one another, our clergy, and choir that we would wish, it was good to be able to practice our faith.
We are re-learning to do many of our former activities in new ways. Our daily lives go on, even while we may be feeling stressed and anxious to some degree about the future. Our church is here for us, and we will continue its ministries and tasks in new ways since our need for our ministries is greater than ever.
A rare gift this time of Sheltering-in-Place is providing us is to finally get around to doing some things we've been meaning to do. Many have said they have gotten around to cleaning the garage, organizing cupboards, trying new recipes, etc. This might include working on your estate planning.
For some this could be a useful time to dig into the Life Plan workbook many of us received when we attended the Life Plan workshop last year presented by the Episcopal Foundation of Northern California. Sometimes opportunity arises out of challenging times. Let's make the most of it.
We have a few Life Plan workbooks remaining so please let us know if you would like one mailed to you.
The Planned Giving Ministry members include Laurie Boone-Hogen, Chair, Stephanie Chapralis McCaffrey, and Ann and Alex Peters.
