June 19th - Busy Sunday at St. Mark's

Sunday morning, June 19th was jam-packed commencing with the Men's Club monthly Breakfast (consisting of orange juice, bacon, eggs, toast & coffee). This was Nan and her husband Bruce's first time to attend. Visiting from Vancouver was Rilla McLean's brother-in-law David Cass. The fellowship was enjoyed by all.
Rilla McLean with her visitors, brother-in-law David and sister Joan Cass
stayed for coffee and conversation after the service.

St. Mark's Sunday School
The Sunday School had their closing, honouring all the students who had attended during the year and recognizing the dedication of their teachers. The children remained at the front of the Church to observe the Baptism, then adjourned to the hall for treats, fun and games during the rest of the service. The Bounce-aramma was a real success! Thanks to Heather Hart for all the work she has done during the past year organizing and teaching the Sunday School and leading the Youth Group! We really appreciate all your work.




The Baptism
Ellis Ian Jackson is the son of Ian and Jillian (Evans) Jackson and the grandson of Larry and Lucille Evans. Lucy MacDonald (cousin of Ellis) assisted Nan by holding her paper while Ellis was being Baptised and she also put Ellis's lamb on the banner.
