Live stream link for Sunday’s 10.00 am service:
Summer services start this month, after 23rd June, which is Picnic Day! After the 10.00 am
service, stay for BBQ stuff and other goodies. Summer services are one service of Holy
Eucharist each Sunday at 9.30 am beginning June 30th, and these run until September.
Help needed. We are looking for a few volunteers to join the AV team that runs the slides
that you see on the screen on Sunday mornings. Some computer experience is helpful and we’ll
train you on running the equipment. You do not have to develop the slide shows, just run the
show during the service. Please contact the office for more info or to sign on to our
small team. Thank you.

Breakfast program
Our challenge this week is to prepare the meal and store it safely without the large fridge. We
are waiting for a part for the fix but it’s not going to be here for this week’s meal. We continue
to need hygiene products for men such as good razors, shaving cream deodorant along with
T- shirts. We are also collecting money for the strawberries which we serve on the Canada Day
weekend. Many thanks to all who have donated clothing, household items.
The next breakfast is this Saturday, 15th June; all are welcome!
