Please continue to remember the Food Bank when you shop. Particularly needed are canned tomatoes, vegetables and soups, and tuna, ham etc suitable for children’s lunches.

Our congratulations to
Pat & Wes Margison
on the birth of great-grandson
Hogan Timothy Christopher, a son for
Kelsey and Dustin Lagacy.
Our condolences to Bruce McKenna and family on the death of Mary-Lee Wilson McKenna. In 2007 Mary-Lee put on a packed Camp Brookwood fundraising concert at St Mark’s, and after summer services began in 2010 she and Bruce were nearly annual visitors before covid. This week’s parish facebook page shows a gorgeous photo of the McKennas on one of their last visits to the parish.
One of
Mary-Lee’s favourite hymn authors was the mystical poet
George Herbert. Hymn #569 in the new blue
Common Praise is Herbert’s “The Call”. We offer it here in her
memory.
Come, my Way, my
Truth, my Life:
Such a Way, as gives us breath:
Such a Truth, as ends all strife:
Such a Strength, as makes his guest.
Such a Joy, as none can move:
- Morning Prayer at St. Mark's and Holy Trinity (9:00 AM), and St. John's (11:00 AM)

Again this year Holy Trinity’s
Charles Wilson
Mitten Tree – see
attached photo -- yielded a bumper crop of mittens,
socks, toques and scarves thanks to the efforts of parish
knitters and others. A huge bundle was taken to the
Hartland Community School, to the
gratitude of the teachers, who said they are always needed
by students who either lose theirs or never had them in the
first place.
