Dear Friends of St. Alban's,
Thank you for a wonderful weekend of festivities with the Mother's Day Tea, crafts, and Pentecost Sunday...wow! It is a blessing to be here.
Next Sunday we will observe Trinity Sunday and the ECW will have a bake sale following the service. Coming up this week we have Vestry on
Tuesday evening and ECW on Wednesday.
Blessings,

Sewing Sisters: are looking for a few helpful hands to sew quilts to give to those in need. If you have some spare time and a sewing machine,
this simple work can be done at your home or with us on Thursdays from 8:30am to 11:30am at Lou Toth's home in El Cajon. This is very
