Palm Sunday Pot-Luck Lunch Thank you
The most frequent adjective overheard describing the many and varied food offerings was “Amazing!” They ranged from exotic to wholesome, with a flavour to satisfy every taste bud. The Congregational Life Team thanks everyone who contributed to the event and the cleanup which will be a tremendous goal to match next year.

Everyone is welcome to attend the following interfaith prayer gathering for peace in our homes:

Six Wednesdays with the Psalms
Not all the Psalms of course! But enough to get us into the most human and possibly the most spiritually fruitful, part of the Bible. This study begins on Wednesday, April 14th, through to May 19th from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. Please let Don Ross know of your interest so that an order can be placed for an inexpensive guide – Spirituality of the Psalms by Walter Brueggemann.

Young Adults Group will gather on Sunday, April 11th in the kitchen! All young adults in their 20s, 30s, and beyond are most welcome. Call Charissa at 783-0919 or Alison at 284-2250 if you have any questions.
