A NOTE FROM THE CHOIR:  As explained during Lent, the choir has been learning music from the Sewanee Service – the music to be used for the service on June 6, celebrating 300 years of Anglican worship in the Diocese.  During the season of Lent, we used the Kyrie from this service, and on April 11 we introduced the Sanctus and Benedictus.  It is our intention in the near future to introduce the Sewanee Service music for the Agnus Dei and Gloria.

Some Diocesan 2010 Celebration Pins are still available for $3 each.  If you would like one please see Wendy any Sunday after church.

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 need the username (blthparish) and password (876mmlj).

PWRDF:  There are immemorial 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.

Soup Labels and Stamps: Thank you for your continuing support.  Soup Labels must be whole, and Stamps have at least ¼” of envelope around them.

There is a shortage of the following food items for St. Marguerite Bourgeoys Food Bank – canned fruit, canned meat, pasta, peanut butter, jam, crackers, and pudding.  Thank you for your continued support.
