Whom do you know in hospital?  There’s a convenient way to get a cheery greeting to the hospitalized.  The hospital delivers it.  Parishioners receiving these notes have mentioned how important they are.  Check out:  [Link]

“Then the saintly will say to him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and we fed you, or you were thirsty and we gave you drink?’ And the King replied and told them, ‘I am telling you, that whatever you do for one of these my little brethren, for me you have done that.’ Kindly remember the Food Bank when you shop.

On Saturday (13 July) there will be an Open Doors afternoon at Holy Trinity, Hartland, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM. Trained guides, and (probably) over-the-top flowers.

With sorrow, we learn of the death of Meghann Palmer. For all of her 40 years she fought a battle to breathe. Many community groups raised funds to assist her, among them this parish.

Parish Prayer Time returns on Monday 15 July at St. John’s, 6:30 PM. All welcome to listen, share and pray.

Faith & Felting meets at the Rectory in the afternoons (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) and evenings (7:30 PM - 9:00 PM) of these Tuesdays: 23 July, 6 & 13 August.  Learn to needle and wet felt while talking about faith matters.  MAX room for 8 - 10 people each session.  Nice cool basement.  Contact the rector.

We understand that a grant from the Diocesan Synod will enable provision of portable wheelchair ramps for Christ Church, Holy Trinity & St. Mark’s.

New Brunswick’s Christian Ashram meets at Brown’s Flat (lower St John River) on 8 11 August.  This year’s guest evangelist is Gordon Thompson, formerly rector of Newcastle.  For details, see New Brunswick Christian Ashram (nbca.ca) and speak with Cindy Derksen.

Lives of the Saints – ideal for Richmond

20 May 1959: “If he [Edward Spencer] is to be the ideal country parson he must stress evangelism, house to house visiting and a spiritual witness, but he must also have a respectable garden so that he can have his finger in the rural problems.”
