Archbishop Edwards invites all to his 5-week Bible Study (Zoom) beginning Wednesday 23 Sept, 7:30 PM -8:30 PM. The text is God and the Pandemic, a little book by Bishop Wright, one of the world’s leading theologians. All of the details of book acquisition – either physically or on kindle – are at [link]. This is a great chance to interact with Christians from around the province and with David Edwards. It will also illustrate how a zoom Bible study works.

St. John’s Memorial service (11:00 AM) and St. Mark’s Memorial service (3:00 PM) take place on Sunday 27 September.

Roy Tibbits, the water colourist who has painted half a dozen images of our houses of worship, has an exhibition running at the McCain Gallery (Florenceville) until Saturday 10 October.

Remember that there’s a convenient way to get a cheery greeting to someone stuck in hospital. The hospital will deliver it. Check out:  [link]

The parish has received many bequests over the years, without the interest on which we could not make it financially. When remembering the parish in your own will, do not leave money to a specific congregation as individual congregations are not incorporated. The way to handle it is to leave money to the parish for the purpose of supporting a particular congregation or house of worship, if that is what you want. For Camp Brookwood, you would leave money to the Diocesan Synod of Fredericton for the use of Camp Brookwood.

To add a name (with permission) to the parish prayer list, speak to Pat Margison (328-8146) or Wendell Parkinson (325-9519).
