Weld House Garden Rejuvenation Project The Grounds Committee is very excited about a new plan for plantings at the back entrance of Weld House. As you may have noticed, a portion of the bed in front of the entrance was claimed last summer in order to expand the parking lot. In addition, the old plantings had become quite overgrown and ugly, and several of the yews could even be considered safety hazards (providing someone a place to hide). The new plan, which entails the planting of several pink flowering dogwood trees, a number of rhododendrons and hollies, and a border of boxwoods, should truly enhance the back entrance of our church building. It will be on exhibit in the parish hall in February (and possibly late January), at which time we are also hoping that parishioners will consider helping with the project by giving plants in memory of or in honor of their loved ones. While the Grounds Committee has some money in its budget for this project, there is not enough to fund it completely. Your gifts will help to make the garden a reality and will be a lasting tribute to those whom you cherish. Gifts can be made in varying amounts and will be greatly appreciated. |

Family Mission Trip to New OrleansI am delighted to report that the family mission trip to New Orleans is full! (We will be starting a waiting list). The Redeemer really has a heart for mission, and I am excited by the energy around the trip. We will have a few preparation meetings designed to get to know our St. Stephen’s partners and learn more about New Orleans post-Katrina. Missioners are also encouraged to help with the mission support events in the coming months. Thank you all for your dedication and willingness to support mission work at the Redeemer. |

Uganda Pen-Pals We are seeking 50 Redeemer families to adopt pen-pals from Uganda! We have letters in hand written by the amazing teenagers at the PILGRIM-sponsored school in Soroti. (Also see the students' artwork, which is full of newfound hope, on display in the Parish Hall this Sunday). This is an easy and meaningful family activity: read your letter together and write a response, then send the letter to the student at PILGRIM's U.S. address (provided). PILGRIM will then forward all the letters to Uganda to make sure they reach their recipients in a timely fashion. Please see the display this week at coffee hour for more information and to receive your pen-pal, or contact Leslie Williams, leswill@gmail.com, 617-969-0470, for more information. Here's an excerpt from one of the letters: "Hi my friend in USA, greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Back to me I'm fine. ... I would like to know which subjects you like and sports games, whether football or volleyball and the team you support... but for my side I like all subjects and the team I support is Arsenal.... I wish you good studies.... from yours, Opio Edward." |

All Parish Fellowship Tea Featuring comments and reflections by Nina Moriarty on Raphael’s The Disputà Sunday, April 27th 4:00pm – 5:00pm Please join us in the parish hall as we enjoy tea and this opportunity to reflect on Raphael’s The Disputà with Nina Moriarity who is a member of our parish and Professor of Art History at Babson College. She will discuss this painting in connection to the celebration of the Eucharist. Evensong will be held immediately following the tea at 5:00pm. Background on the painting: The Disputà, also called The Disputation over the Sacrament, is a depiction of theology as one of the four branches of learning represented on the walls of the Stanza della Segnatura, the private papal library, in the Vatican palace. The fresco was painted c. 1509-1511 by Raphael (Raffaello Santi), one of the stars of Italian Renaissance painting. |
