This Sunday’s public worship will be at Holy Trinity, Hartland, (9:00 AM).  It will be Flower Sunday.  All floral offerings welcome.

Flower Sunday – originally called Children’s Day – began in the 1850s and spread among Protestant churches throughout North America.  Holy Trinity began marking it in 2018.  For Flower Sunday everyone is encouraged to go into gardens, fields and roadside ditches to collect some flowery or green arrangement to adorn the worship of God.

There is good news.  In 2025 the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada recommended that the final Sunday each July be designed Emancipation Sunday.  It marks the anniversary of the coming into force in 1834 of the Slavery Abolition Act, which ended slavery in most of the British Empire (and compensated former slave-holders).  This year BlackAnglicans is sponsoring a national on-line Emancipation Sunday service on 26 July at 9:00 PM Atlantic time.  Its poster suggests that NB’s most celebrated singer will be among those taking part:  [Instagram link].  This year BlackAnglicans notes with pride that its members now lead three of Anglican Canada’s 30 dioceses.

This week’s e-News circulates a few pictures from last night’s Evening Prayer at St Mark’s. It was great to have Shawn Branch among us again.
