Newsletter: Welcome to August!

Hello friends!

We’ve had a good couple of weeks in the church office, with Emily & I getting to know one another and figuring out the best way to get all the jobs done. Please do drop in during the week to say hello!

I’m working on planning the Fall Schedule and my own holidays which will be late in August and early in September. Here are some highlights:

Sunday, Sept 17th Welcome Back BBQ after 10am family Eucharist

Saturday, Sept 30th Spiritual practice retreat: Reconciliation walk

Saturday, Oct 14th Fall Sale at the Church

Saturday, Oct 21st Family Eucharist in the afternoon

Saturday, Oct 28th Spiritual Practice afternoon: Sacraments

Saturday, Nov 18th Family Eucharist in the afternoon

Saturday, Nov 25th Spiritual Practice afternoon: Advent Quiet Day

In addition, we’ll be starting up the regular Tuesday & Thursday Bible Studies in the week after Labour Day.

Fall Sale at the Church

This year’s Fall Sale will be on Saturday, October 14th from 9am-2pm. The Sale will be more like a market this year, with some outside vendors participating. We’ll also have a table for the Church’s attic treasures, and a repair-service table with Rob & Andrew, so bring any items you’d like to have repaired. And, of course, there will also be food on offer!

Care Home Ministry

Care home ministry is continuing. We’ve finished our visits this summer, so the next visits will be in September: Harrison Pointe on September 5th at 2pm, and Harrison Landing on September 13th at 2pm.

I’m also in conversation with Langley Lodge and with the Hospital about doing services there. They are wondering about Sunday afternoon services, so please let me know if this is something you’d be willing and able to help with!

As always, please let me know if you or anyone you know would like a visit from the clergy!

Love from,

Andrew
