Main Street Corridor Development
Corporation (MainCor)
–
Saturday, May 10 at 8:30 a.m., the
Inaugural Main Street Mile will
bring together runners, walkers, and
strollers to amble or compete in a
1-Mile distance, participating in
one of four heats.
About the Run:
This
event has been born out of the
desire to have a fundraiser for
MainCor, a not-for-profit dedicated
to improving the Main Street
Corridor. A running event was
chosen with the goal in mind to
offer an event where the
participants can come and actually
experience the changing face of Main
Street. This event is slightly
different from most running events,
in that it will offer 4 heats from
which to choose, which best suits
one’s fitness level: 1) 39 &
under 2) 40+ (Master’s) 3)
Competitive 4)
fun Run/Walk.
All heats will be chip timed. The
Competitive heat will include Men
with a sub 5-minute mile and Female
with at sub 6:20-minute mile.
The Cause:
This
event will choose a need along Main
Street as the beneficiary each year
to help draw awareness and funds to
help improve the Main Street
corridor. “This particular event is
unique in that the event, by nature,
showcases our city’s Main Street,
therefore bringing together both the
community and businesses from the
metropolitan area, as well as right
on Main Street,” said Diane Burnette,
MainCor Executive Director.
“Many businesses will be rallying to
draw awareness and exposure of the
event as it grows year after year.”
2008 Beneficiary:
The
beneficiary for our inaugural event
is the Major Murray Davis Park,
located just immediately south
of the intersection of Main Street
and Westport Road. Major
Murray Davis Park is a WWI monument
to a local hero. This unique urban
pocket park is a treasure in a
dynamic and shifting environment.
Funds raised through this event will
be used to enhance and expand this
public area.
Register:
Register or volunteer for the races

fee includes a T-shirt.

Pentecost Jazz Eucharist & Holy
Baptism
May 11
Feast
of Pentecost: As told in the
book of Acts, this day is thought of
as the birthday of the Christian
Church.
It was a
day of chaos and the movement of the
spirit of God in unique ways. As a
way of recognizing this day and its
unique qualities, we will be having
a Jazz Eucharistic at the 10:30
service on Sunday, May 11.
We
encourage everyone to
wear red (the
color of Pentecost)
for
church. There will be a wonderful
jazz combo led by Rod May, a member
of our parish. We will be singing
some well-known spirituals and a
Eucharist setting from “Enriching
Our Worship 1”, a new hymnal
published by our denominational
publisher, The Church Publishers
Corporation.
If you or someone you know is
interested in baptism, contact the
rector for pre-baptismal instruction
as soon as possible.
