The days are getting shorter and outdoor activities will soon be curtailed. Many of us have had the opportunity to gather for the 11AM outdoor worship service, go for walks together, or have lunch outdoors but pretty soon many of us will be more homebound. The Care Groups are being reactivated and reconnecting. Did you know…
Last week I proposed in my NFTP piece the resurrection of a new version on zoom of the informal Wednesday conversations that formerly took place (pre-Covid) after the healing service.

We were doubly blessed on Sunday, May 12 when not only Bishop Steve came for a parish visit, but Bishop-Elect Thomas came too! It was a fun and joyous occasion with over 80 parishioners present for Eucharist and coffee hour to follow. The morning wrapped up with a meeting with the Vestry.
A new tradition has been started – brunch after the 10:15 Easter service. This year 38 people enjoyed the delicious array of potluck salads, vegetables, other side dishes to accompany a baked ham and roasted leg of lamb! Desserts were there too! The tables were beautifully decorated with pastel tablecloths and centre pieces of eggs…
