St. Alban's began a mission over 40 years ago and started with a temporary building to allow them space for worship, Sunday School and later a Christian Learning Center.Today, our temporary building continues to require on going repairs and upkeep. We started with a Space Needs quite a few years ago and the time has come. It is not a desire, it is a NEED for St. Alban's to have space for worship, Sunday School, Adult Forum, Outreach, Office space, Storage space, Youth Group space.
St. Alban's has been blessed with parishioners who are sharing their skills with needles and hooks. This Outreach Ministry started in the Spring of 2006.If you would like to help knit or crochet a Prayer Shawl or if you have someone in need to receive a Prayer Shawl, please contact the webmaster, Nancy Rambo @ stalbanssonlight@comcast.netClick on the thumbnail to read

Dear Bakers and Colleagues,
In most places in the Christian world, the annual renewal of ordination vows and the blessings of oils for baptism and healing are private services for the clergy only. In Bethlehem for 15 years now, our liturgy is public, lay people are urged to be present, and there is a free lunch. You are cordially invited to come with your parish group or on your own to wonderful moment.But why should you?1) Besides the fact that it is a stunning and uplifting liturgy, it is your chance to be with other members of the diocese as we support and pray for our clergy as they re-commit themselves to their service to us. It is also the time when together we pray over the oils that are used with the sick and at baptism and confirmation--each time those oils are applied, they represent the prayers of the entire diocese. Those of you with special ministries of healing and teaching will particularly want to be present.2) The music for the liturgy will be sung by a choir of professionals, including voices from the Metropolitan Opera. A mass setting by Haydn will be complimented by Renaissance pieces, and just a touch of Wagner at the end--and it all fits together.3) This is yet another opportunity to connect with sisters and brothers from around the Diocese as we share lunch and visit. The more connection we have, the better we function.4) PilgrimageIn some ways, those who travel the longest for this event will reap the most benefit. When we travel to do something, we change as we go; this is why the ancient practice of pilgrimage still has so much meaning. But whether you are crossing the street or crossing the Endless Mountains, consciously making the effort to be present, being mindful of your movement, will bless you.To let us know how much lunch to make, your priest (or sr warden if there is no priest or deacon) will need to know how many are coming,so if you won't be there on the next two Sundays to raise your hand at announcement time, let him/her know otherwise, as we will need a count on Monday, March 26th. Of course we will make a little extra for walk-ins, but please do let us know if you can.Blessings,
+Paul
PS There will be modest but fun prizes for the children of the church that comes the farthest, the church that has the largest percent of its Average Sunday Attendance present, and for the largest number of attendees.
