Parish Announcements
STOP - POP - DROP
For more than three decades, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio (RMHC) has been serving families with seriously ill children by provid-ing a home-away-from-home at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House.
For years the tabs of beverage cans have been col-lected as a fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House. They are able to generate thousands of dollars from their pop tab collection (a compact, easily collect-able source of aluminum) program every year. So, STOP (before you recycle the can) POP (the tab) and DROP (the tab in a receptacle).
There is a collection receptacle in the Living Room.

2 Cents-a-Meal Program
The 2 Cents-a-Meal Program is designed to remind
us of the poor and needy at
mealtimes. Two pennies per per-
son per meal is collected for hun-
ger ministries as they give thanks
for their own food.
The NEXT COLLECTION is April 29, 2018.
Call the church (614) 253-8549 if you have any ques-
tions.
Pastoral Care Contact Information
For pastoral care needs during normal office hours call the church at (614) 253-8549. After hours call or text 614-407-5987 and you will be for-warded to the person on-call (normally the Rec-tor). Pastoral Care has an email address meant for non-urgent pastoral care needs : [email protected].
PLEASE NOTE: Unless you notify the church or one of the Pastoral Care leaders, we do not know if a parishioner is ill or in the hospital and needs or wants prayers, visits or assistance .

Ohio Interfaith Power & Light, during National
Faith-Climate Action Week (ApriI14-22), is
launching a new pilot project offering parishion-
ers residential energy audits to increase efficiency
in their home energy use.
For every residential energy audit completed
(costs $50 per home-though valued at $500-and
usually includes a programmable thermostat and/
or low flow shower head, safety check of gas fur-
nace and more), the congregation itself would get
$20 back to benefit St Albans.

er and Light visit them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ohipl/

For all our guests-in-need.
We commend to God’s loving mercy all who have
died, especially Gretchen Leutheuseur Davis and Dick
Lodge,.
For those on our prayer list, for the mission and min-
istries of St. Alban’s Church, and for all those whose
need is known to God alone. Amen.
Almighty God, giver of every good gift: Look gra-ciously on your Church, and so guide the minds of those who shall choose a rector for this parish, that we may receive a faithful pastor, who will care for your people and equip us for our minis-tries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Your Pastoral Care Team welcomes all prayer re-quests. Please include:
1. Whether you wish both the first and last name of the person, or only the first name on the prayer list.
2. Name of hospital, when appropriate.
3. Whether the person would like a visit and/or Com-munion from a member of the Pastoral Care team.
4. Your name, and how to reach you, in case we need contact information for the person.
Tell Us How To Reach You!
Why is this important? Because it could save your life...
Recently, a parishioner who regularly attends meetings did not show up for several days. No one heard from him. Concerned for his safety, a fellow church member tried to contact him. Checking the parishioner’s pastoral care contact file, information was found on how to reach a neighbor and friend. As a result of team work with the neighbor, medical assistance was pro-vided and a dear parishioner’s life was saved.
This sounds dramatic, and it is! It illustrates how important it is for the church to have a “contact person” for you in case of an emergency. All in-formation is confidential.
