This coming week's birthdays:  Evan Carpenter

This very (Thursday) morning the Do Drop In(n) is open at the Parish Centre, 10 am – noon. Conversation and fun – invite a friend.

This coming Sunday’s public worship in the parish will be at St Johns (9 am), with a light breakfast on offer from 8 onwards.

Archbishop Edwards and Debbie Edwards remain in Britain, dealing with multiplied family crises. They ask for continued prayer. If they manage to return to NB, their first public engagement will be next Wednesday evening at St Mark’s. It will be a Harvest Songs Communion service with Marjory Burtt Lyons at the keyboard.

The Richmond Compassion Fund has purchased backpacks destined for needy students in local schools. Congregants are asked to bring in school supplies to go along with them. Some of the backpacks are in each church.

There is good news. Last Sunday morning four new folk attended Holy Trinity.

One of Emily Dickinson’s poems begins: “There’s a certain slant of light”. This line always comes to mind at St Mark’s on late summer evenings when the lowering sun comes through the McBride memorial window and strikes the lectern and the altar. A photo shows this from last night’s quiet service. Also attached are pictures from Sunday’s service at Holy Trinity and of some student backpacks purchased for donation by the Richmond Compassion Fund.
