here at Grace, Vestry members will be hosting
small groups to discuss and receive feedback
from parishioners. In the coming weeks you will
be receiving an invitation asking for your RSVP.
Please take a few moments to submit your reply
and an hour or two to lend your voice to the

hearing from you!

Shelter Meal
|
|
|
You
should have seen the whirlwind of children who set
up the guild hall with fruit and snacks and prepared
the tables for dinner. Thanks to their energy and
that of some wonderful food- preparers, servers and
cleaners, the April 7 meal was delicious and greatly
appreciated by the shelter guests. Come and
volunteer in May and be part of
"sharing-of-the-bread" Call Watts 244 9424 or

Our new deacon, The Rev. Carol Smith, hosts the
Grace Book Group Wed. Apr. 16, 7 p.m.
Her home is 4522 Aztec Trail in Fitchburg;
230-6888. Please join Grace readers at (what we
hope is) the first meeting of spring.
The book, Iain Pears' The Dream of
Scipio, has been called easy to
read and yet "complex, surprising and thought
provoking". Widely available, it is out in
paperback and the public library system has many
copies.

of Chris Rencontre in securing
the donation and volunteers who

of food including tuna, peanut
butter, cereal, sweet corn,
canned potatoes, canned carrots,
fruit cocktail, grape jelly,
pancake mix, syrup, spaghetti
noodles, macaroni and cheese and
flour. Chris would like to
extend a huge thank you to those
who helped transport and
stock. Below are more
pictures from the day:
Grace was
first in line for the Roundy's
Food Tour and these were our
pallets.
Stan
Richardson and Steve Wood
were our drivers. School
groups help to load the
trucks with food.
Nancy Griswald and Steve

Wow! You Make A
Difference!

Patrick Raymond's message
last Sunday, Grace
parishioner's and friends

generous response will truly
have an amazing impact!
