Since our last Contact in June, 151 members were served Communion on June 15th and 64 members were served on October 5th, which was World Wide Communion Sunday.
On Sunday June 1st, we were pleased to have members of L’Arche look after the full service including greeting, collecting, reading. The congregation thoroughly enjoyed their service.
We appreciated the summer relief for pulpit supply provided during Rev. LeGrow’s vacation by Lana MacLean, July 6; Organist Al Fougere and the choir, July 13th; Lorna MacRury, July 20th and Lana MacLean on July 27th.
Anniversary Sunday was celebrated on June 15, along with the congregation from St. David’s and a potluck dinner was enjoyed by everyone after the service.
Since our last Contact the following marriage ceremonies were celebrated:
• Chris Robert Crocker and Amber Kristin McLean on July 19th, 2008
• Kenneth Gerald Landry and Tara Tennille MacDonald on August 2nd, 2008
A pamphlet and questionnaire concerning The Role of the Ministry Today was inserted in the bulletin in September asking the congregation to consider the questions being asked and to provide a response to the General Council, if they so wished, by either regular mail or email.
Ava Jeannine LeMarquand, daughter of Gary LeMarquand and Erin Butt was baptized on October 5th, 2008.
We would like to thank all those readers, greeters and collectors who willingly participated in each service.
We planned the Remembrance Day Service for November 9th and look forward to a busy Advent and Christmas Season.
