Rev. Ingrid, Rev. Colleen and the wardens would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to all those who helped with preparations for our Easter celebration. The church looked magnificent and the services were beautiful.

The monthly community lunches are back again! The first one will be held on Wednesday, May 18th from 12 to 12:30 pm in the Main Hall.

Tickets are $10 each and include a delicious meal of soup and sandwiches, followed with dessert and coffee/tea.

After May's luncheon, the Ladies Guild will break for the summer. The monthly lunches will resume in September when the Guild reconvenes.

During the coffee hour in the Main Hall on Sunday, May 1st, we are planning an informal parish discussion about our Narthex. This is for anyone who is interested in joining the discussion.

Before Parish Council makes any decisions, we want to hear your ideas on ways we can freshen up the Narthex space so that it becomes a tidy, warm and welcoming first impression for everyone who enters through our doors.

So come one, come all,  prepared with your thinking caps on for coffee hour on May 1st!
