Dear friends,
I really hope you are surviving these smoky days without too much discomfort. I for one look forward to seeing sunlight break through the haze, although what we are experiencing is nowhere near the level of all those living with fire threatening their homes and livelihoods.
Many of you are aware that I will be on vacation from July 26th to August 10th. We are looking forward to having a family gathering which will be the first time all five of our boys will be together since my Dad’s memorial service more than two years ago. I may need a vacation to recover from my vacation! Worship services are in good hands with Susan Oleskiw leading on August 1st and Neville Smith August 8th. Sincere thanks to both of you.
This week we turn our attention to the Gospel of John, and two stories that are very familiar. Jesus feeds a multitude and then walks on water. John doesn’t have many of the same stories as the other three Gospels, so this is rather unique for him, and he, as usual has his own particular interpretation and understanding of their importance. John’s focus is always on gathering together the signs that Jesus’ life was always a journey to the Cross and Resurrection, the most critical moment in his relationship with God. What might this teach us? Join us on Sunday either in person or via Zoom as we do some exploring.
I hope everyone is getting the rest and relaxation you need in these summer weeks. The days are growing shorter it is true. However, we still have time to renew our batteries before the busy autumn arrives, when hopefully we can return to a fuller schedule of activities within our communities of faith.
Be well,
In peace.
Heather

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
As of Sunday, June 13, you may worship with us in person on Sunday mornings (observing current Covid protocols)! Services are at 9:00 a.m. at Mewassin and 10:30 a.m. at Stony Plain. The Stony Plain service will continue to be available on Zoom or by phone.
We would like to remind our Zoom attendees to please mute your microphones during the service so as to reduce background noise (you are, of course, free to un-mute your microphone if you are reading or leading a prayer, or asking/answering a question). If you cannot mute your microphone, than we ask that you please be very quiet during the service. We also ask that, when conversing, you speak slowly and try to avoid talking over anyone else.
JUNE PHOTO CONTEST RESULTS: Thank-you to everyone who sent in pictures last month. We sure had lots of great photos! Congratulations to all our winners! Be sure to send in your photos for July’s contest!
OFFERING: Due to Covid Restrictions, we cannot collect the offering during the service, as we used to. Please leave your envelopes in the plate on the table just outside the Sanctuary. For those of you worshipping from home, you may mail, drop off or send your donations by etransfer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
