Prayer Group meets Wednesday mornings, from 10:30 - 11:30. All are welcome.
A NOTE FROM THE CHOIR: We are currently learning music of the Sewanee Service (to be used in the Celebration 2010 service); in fact, for the past several weeks we have sung the Kyrie. We are learning the Gloria, but, since Lent will soon be here, it will not be introduced until Easter. Shortly we expect to introduce the Sanctus and Benedictus in our weekly liturgy. All the music from this service will continue to be played before service each Sunday, in hopes that the congregation will become familiar with it.
Anyone who would like offering envelopes please see the Greeter/ Sidesperson on duty at the door, or call Erica Orlando at 876-8396.
The 2010 Diocesan Service will be held in June at the Exhibition Park. If you are interested in attending this service, please sigh the poster at the back of the church because there is limited seating. If you would like to make a Memorial Donation towards the cost of the service bulletins, the flowers or the bread and wine, please take a form from the bottom of the poster. These memorial donation forms are self-explanatory but if you have any questions you can contact Wendy at 443-4630.
Our Diocesan 2010 Celebration is fast approaching and commemorative pins are available for $3 each. Anyone who didn’t get a chance to sign their name to the sign up sheet over the past few weeks and would like
one of these special pins, please see me after church any Sunday or phone Wendy at 443-4630. We do have some extra pins but they will go fast.
If you ordered a pin, you can pick it up any Sunday.
The Weekly Bulletin, Cycles of Prayer and Rector’s Report are now available on our Parish Web Site (http://blthanglicans.ca) , under the "Parishioners Section". To access this information along with Council Minutes, Monthly Financial Statements and Annual Reports, you will need the username (blthparish) and password (876mmlj).
PWRDF: There are inmemorium cards for the Primates Fund on the table at the back of the church. They are self explanatory and a worthwhile way of remembering friends or relatives as this fund assists people around the world.
Anyone having a change in their address or telephone number, please contact Tom Richardson 876-2165.
BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE: If you would like the name/s of loved ones written in the Book of Remembrance on the anniversary of their death, please call Tim Edwards at 876-7785. If possible, to ensure correct spelling, please give Tim the names in writing a week or two before the anniversary.
