Tuesday’s Diocesan e-News announced that the monthly NB Anglican had once again – second year in a row – been voted the best Christian newspaper (among all denominations) in Canada: https://nb.anglican.ca/news/nb-anglican-wins-best-christian-newspaper Note that one of the front page photos particularly commended by the reviewers shows a well-known local cleric in action at King’s Landing.

Pentecost Sunday’s impressive parish service reminded us again how gifted we are in our lay readers and how healthful it is to have such gatherings. Whoever decorated the rail between the nave and chancel and found a way to have tongues of fire blazing on the altar table is to be commended. Some photos are attached to this e-news. The next parish service is on Flower Sunday (30 July) at Holy Trinity.

Please give the names of Parish-connected graduates to the Mothers’ Union (Pat or Cindy).

Please remember the Food Bank when you shop.  At the moment they are looking especially for breakfast cereals, soups and crackers.

From 10-13 August the New Brunswick Christian Ashram will be convening at Brown’s Flats, a lovely summer community on the lower St John River. See www.nbca.ca or speak to Cindy Derksen. Bible teacher for the gathering will be Archdeacon Hodge.

Surplus Bibles or New Testaments? If you have a copy of the Bible that is surplus to your needs, please bring it to church and donate it to the Compassion Fund. It will help meet the demand for scriptures among the newcomers to Canada arriving in this area.
