This coming Sunday (28 April) Archbishop Edwards will induct the Rev Maria Shepherdson as rector of the parishes of Richmond and Woodstock. The service takes place at St. Luke’s, 5:00 PM.

Following the induction service there will be a pot-luck supper in St. Luke’s hall. Kindly label prominently any dish containing a cheese product, nuts or any other common allergy trigger.

On most days the rector offers a brief morning prayer time live at 8:30 AM (and viewable any time later). See Parish of Richmond and Woodstock - YouTube

Until 18 May the McCain Gallery in Florenceville is hosting an exhibit of mid-20^th-century Canadian jewellery and a display of costumes by students at the NB College of Craft and Design.  One striking female costume was designed by the granddaughter of our own Joan Bowmaster.

Today’s photographs include those fleeting tokens of spring, the crocuses at St. Mark’s.

Lives of the Saints – signs of spring

28 April 1940: “Quite wonderful for the last Sunday in April & wore my summer coat & new blue straw hat for the first time to Church at 11 am. Only 22 there - not many for such a wonderful morning. Lois, Myrtle W, Stella & I were all the straw hats. The rest had felts or silk caps. Went without rubbers too. Quite a number of cars on the road today.”
