Port Hawkesbury Food Bank
Thanks to all at St. Mark’s and St. David’s who so generously donate to the Port Hawkesbury Food Bank.
During the spring an increase in the use of the service provided by the Food Bank has been noticed. Due to the generous support of this community and the surrounding area which is served, we have been able to keep up with the demand so far.
The work of the dedicated volunteers who spend approximately thirty-five to forty hours hours a week at the Food Bank, is certainly appreciated. Recently several new volunteers have joined the group. With new people, new ideas and new energy appears.
Thanks for your support.

Choir Notes
The new choir gowns are now in use at both St. Mark’s and St. David’s. At St. Mark’s, they were dedicated on Palm Sunday in memory of Laura Swain and other choir members we have lost. They are handsome gowns indeed! We are still considering what to do with the blue choir gowns. We may keep some for special occasions when our numbers exceed the number of new gowns and give the rest to a congregation who needs them.
The choir conducted the service on Conference Sunday on May 31. We worked on a new anthem “Take Now my Voice” for this and Anniversary Sunday. We have not yet started to prepare for July 12, when we will conduct one of the summer services at St. David’s.

St. Mark's is delighted with the new gowns.
New gowns for St. David's too.
