New Brunswick Christian Ashram offers a Christian retreat at the Beulah Camp & Conference Centre, Brown’s Flat, in the lower St John River valley, 6-9 August. Archbishop Edwards will be this year’s evangelist. For more information see www.nbca.ca and speak with Cindy Derksen 375-4642.

There is good news. The Synod has given the parish permission to add a wooden accessibility ramp to the front of St Mark’s, built to code. Last week’s Vestry approved quotations for its construction, to be covered by the St Mark’s Memorial Fund.

This week’s e-News gives images from last Sunday’s worship setting at Holy Trinity. Does any small church accomplish more week by week in making the floral equivalent of a joyful noise unto the Lord.? Notable in the arrangements are scented weeds and an abundance of exotic goatsbeard.
