** We as a parish have already “walked” 7930 miles towards the 10,000 miles walked by Paul during his missionary journeys.  Great job! We will add an additional journey if needed due to the great response.

** Help is needed to read the Passion Gospel on Palm Sunday!  Please sign up on the list in the Parish Hall or send an email to the office.  Opportunities to help during Holy Week are also listed.

** A generous donor has offered to match any contributions to the organ fund up to $8,000.  If you haven’t already donated or would like to add to your donation, please consider doing so now, as essentially your donation would be doubled. We are still $17,000 from our goal.

** Concert for the Human Family featuring Kory Caudill and Wordsmith will be held Saturday, March 9 at 7:30 pm at Calvary Episcopal Church.  Visit www.episcopalpgh.org/the-concert-for-the-human-family/ for tickets (see bulletin insert for more information).

** Sacred Ground Level 1 classes are held at 6 pm on Tuesdays, and Sacred Ground Level 2 classes are held at 6 pm on Thursdays.  Dinner is provided at all meetings.  Speak with Shahnaz Alam-Denlinger for details.
