Greetings All,
We hope you are all enjoying the sunshine today, before the clouds and rain reappear. There are several interesting events beyond the usual weekly events here at UniLu we'd like to share.
Tonight, of course, is Feast Incarnate, and tomorrow is the weekly Bible Study and meal (at 6PM). Thursday's commemoration will be a brief celebration of Eucharist using the texts for the Ascension of our Lord.

RALLY FOR ALL FAMILIES IN HARRISBURG MAY 5
CAPITAL ROTUNDA, 1:00pm
OPPOSING SENATE SB1250
“MARRIAGE PROTECTION AMMENDMENT”
Join Equality Advocates Pennsylvania, the Value All Families Coalition and the Faith Coalition for Pennsylvania Families at a rally against the anti-family constitutional Amendment. Last session, we held the largest LGBT rally at the Capitol with more than 400 people in attendance. Our goal this year is to have more than 500 Pennsylvanians attend. Legislators and organizations opposing SB 1250 will speak against the legislation and the media will be invited to cover the rally.
On January 17, 2008, Pennsylvania State Senators started working to pass
Senate Bill 1250, the "Marriage Protection Amendment," that
would amend the Pennsylvania Constitution to define marriage as solely
between one man and one woman, as well as prohibit civil unions and
potentially more.
On February 14, 2008, the bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee with 17 co-sponsors, the same number of Senators that co-sponsored similar legislation last session.
People are needed to contact your Senator and give a voice to the millions of Pennsylvanians who oppose writing discrimination into our State Constitution. In addition to calling your Senator, we need people to meet, face-to-face, with your elected officials about this important legislation. Go to: http://eqfed.org/campaign/marriage_protection_amendment_07 for more info and direct links to sample letters, etc.
All attendees are encouraged to visit their legislators that day. There will be a training session at 11:00 AM to discuss the legislation and visiting your elected officials. The training location will be announced soon --
Please contact the office if you need a ride or can provide one.

Honor your Mother by contributing to Baby Manna
BabyManna is an opportunity for everyone in your congregation to pay tribute to all mothers by contributing to a second offering, every dollar of which will be used by Philabundance to purchase infant formula and baby products (which are seldom donated). The formula and food will be distributed among our member agencies in our nine county service area throughout the Delaware Valley.
BabyManna is so important because 12,000 newborn babies will face the possibility of infant malnutrition in our area alone. Many of these babies are born into poverty and will be raised by caregivers who need infant formula. Watered down formula, too little formula, or the use of cow's milk can lead to lifelong health problems for the child.
On Mother's Day, congregations traditionally celebrate motherhood and mothers with special music, programs, or recognition. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could show our commitment, respect, and gratitude to all mothers by participating in this collection and supporting the ones who are dearest to every mother their children?
Thank you for your consideration of this project. Each dollar will make a difference to a hungry child in our area.

Pascal Retreat at Augusta Lutheran Church in Trappe
You are invited to join the LTSP Christian Assembly I students, Mark Mummert, and Melinda Quivik at Trappe, PA on May 10 for a Paschal Retreat.
People should let Melinda know if they plan to come and join us for supper -- just so we know numbers. It's a potluck being organized by the students. Anyone coming to eat might want to bring something.
Here's the schedule:
10:00 car pool leaves from seminary
11:00 arrive at Trapp
12:00 lunch (bring your own bag lunch)
1:00 Maundy Thursday
3:00 Good Friday
5:00 Potluck supper
7:00 Great Vigil of Easter
9:00 clean-up
Guests are welcome to come at any time during the day.
Guests would, of course, not need to stay for the clean-up!
The free time between parts of the liturgy are for walking on the grounds, meditation, visiting with others, having a rest. It's a nice quiet day. A real retreat.
Directions to Trappe.
Thanks,
Melinda Quivik email <mqu...@ltsp.edu>

New Sanctuary Movement
Immigrants living in the US today are the targets of anger, frustration,
and fear. What does it mean to love our neighbor, at a time when our
neighbors are being deported? How can I respond with love and action in
a climate of rising hatred and inaction? Join the New Sanctuary Movement
of Philadelphia for a night of dialogue and education. Listen to
first-hand accounts of immigrating to Philadelphia and hear how
immigration impacts the United States. Learn about the New Sanctuary
Movement and how you and your congregation could become involved. Join
us June 5 at 7 pm at Mishkan Shalom Synagogue, 4101 Freeland Ave in
Manayunk. All are welcome to this interfaith event. Please contact
nsmphil...@gmail.com with any questions.
