Christ Church Christiana Hundred and St. Barnabas’ Episcopal Church will co-sponsor a screening of The Philadelphia Eleven on Wednesday, May 1, at 6 PM in Christ Church’s Parish Hall. In an act of canonical disobedience, a group of women and their supporters organized their ordination to become Episcopal priests in 1974. One of the Philadelphia Eleven, the Rev. Nancy Wittig, will be with us for discussion following the screening. Join us in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the ordination of women to the priesthood. Please RSVP at https://www.christchurchde.org/philadelphia-11-post/

It’s that time of year for Trinity to walk and fundraiser for Friendship House by participating in the Highmark Walk. All funds go directly to Friendship House. If Team Trinity Episcopal Parish gets 20 walkers and raises $2000, there is a generous donor who donates an additional $1000 to FH.

Confirmation Sunday, May 26th—Bishop Brown will be with us at Old Swedes to celebrate Confirmation and the 325th consecration of Old Swedes Church on Trinity Sunday. We will have a potluck coffee hour in the graveyard immediately following the service.
Spring knitting: The weather is warming up at last, but the need for winter hats will return before we know it. Join the Trinity Knitters on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month for easy fellowship and a nice bit of service to the community. We meet in the conference room just off the office. Question? ashlinbray@aol.com.
Women’s Retreat – Friday May 10 to Sunday May 12. Join us for the women’s retreat focused on “Legacy”: how we will be remembered when we are gone, how we can support those facing death or helping another to do so, and those who have lost a loved one. Beth Cohen, Rabbi Emerita of Seaside Jewish Community in Rehoboth Beach, served as Religious Leader there for 10 years before she retired. This retreat is for women of all ages and backgrounds. The cost is $300 for lodging and meals except lunch on Saturday which is on your own. Assistance with cost is available – contact Rev. Patty Downing. For more information, please contact Kim Denhardt.
