Remembrance Day service this Sunday is at the regular time of 10 am.  

We need help decorating the Hall for the Christmas Fair on Wednesday Nov. 14 after HUB Lunch.    

This Sunday is the last day to donate items for the Christmas Fair baskets. Bring them with you to church!    

It’s MEATLOAF & all the fixings this month.  YUMMY!  FREE Community Dinner is Monday Nov. 19; 4-pm.  Let’s keep up the good work and have record numbers.     

Come Alongside – How to be a friend to someone who is grieving. A presentation by counsellor Deb Ribeyre who specializes in grief work. Hosted by your parish Care Team. Monday December 3, 2018 from 1:00-2:30pm in the Hall. Everyone welcome. Feel free to invite your friends and neighbours. Donations welcomed.      

Check out the Hall this Sunday or the next time you are in…. the flooring has been expanded to cover the 2 entrance ways and the bathrooms. Wow! A big thanks to Don for coordinating the work, to those who donated the money to have the extra work done, and to Mark of MRW Hardwood & Laminates Flooring Installations who did a super job and was pleasant the whole time.
