Past,
Present and Future There
was an excellent turn out at the Parish Gathering held last Sunday
following the 9:00 am service. The event started with a pot-luck
lunch which was a tremendous success thanks to the generous
contribution by so many.
Members
of Fairwyn Developments Ltd. presented their final report on
property development followed by a question and answer period. There
were 103 parishioners in attendance.
A
parish visioning exercise was facilitated and 68 parishioners
participated in the discussion. In small groups, participants were
asked to respond to the following: What kind of parish is important
to you and your family as we move into the future? How do we make
that vision a reality?

The
Primate on the disaster in Haiti Haiti
has been devastated by a terrible earthquake. Thousands are feared
to have died and many more injured. The people in Haiti have
suffered so much in the past 10 years. Hurricane Jeanne ripped
through the island in 2004 and in 2008 tropical storms took a huge
toll. Now a new disaster. Through the Primate's World Relief and
Development Fund, our church has made an initial donation of $15,000
for emergency relief through Action by Churches Together (ACT).
