Notice to all parish members who are gardeners. The Outreach Committee will be holding a perennial plant sale on Saturday May 15th from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm to raise funds for ongoing community outreach projects. We are requesting donations from your garden as you split plants this spring. Please set aside a pot or two for the sale making sure to add a note with it describing the plant, name, colour and whether it likes sun/part-sun/or shade. If you need help digging up your plants please contact Jo-Ann Thow for assistance. We will also be selling some interesting house plants and some vegetable seedlings that have been started for planting after May 24th.
Please bring your potted perennials on May 14th or 15th in the afternoon to the Thrift Store yard.
For more information or to offer your assistance with the sale, please contact the church office, 905-728-8251.

(The first session may run to 8:30 to accommodate housekeeping, background information as well as the first topic.)
C.S. Lewis “The Screwtape Letters”. Lewis wrote The Screwtape Letters during WWII. The current global crisis provides a very similar point of reference to view the letters and the human condition.
We will be listening to and discussing the first 8 to 10 letters written by a “Senior Demon” as he coaches his apprentice on the corruption of a human. Among other topics, the letters address Reason & Reality, Relationships, Troughs and Peaks, and Sincere Prayer. We will listen to an audio recording of each letter, however, it is recommended to have a copy of the book for maximum benefit. E-copies are available ranging from free to $1.99 (Kindle, Kobo, etc.) and print books are available ranging from $10 and up from Amazon, Chapters, etc. (During the COVID lockdown, on-line ordering with pick up curb service is still available at Chapters). Please contact the office to register by January 4th. The relevant Scripture references and the virtual meeting link will be emailed to you in advance of January 6.
Sorry to say our Outdoor Christmas Market on Saturday, December 5th has been cancelled due to the new COVID regulations.
