Satellite Ministry

With the church office being formally "closed" for July, I am continuing to do some work for the first couple weeks: visiting, reading, planning for fall and Advent, presiding over a couple weddings. So while the worship planning and delivery portion of my work week has been removed for this month, the work continues!

Sunday morning worship is led by our respective Presbyterian neighbours. Messages can be left on the church voicemail or phone my cell number; email will be checked and I'll be in the office at various times through the week.

See you in August when we're hosting Sunday worship and the work schedule reverts to "normal".

Reconnected

I can say that my cell phone service has been restored. No, I didn't find the missing phone but I dug out an older model from the kids' toy bin, put a new SIM card in it and avoided paying for a market-priced replacement.

So you can call me and I will answer.

for June 21 – Mark 4: 35-41

On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, ‘Let us go across to the other side.’ And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him.

A great gale arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, ‘Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?’

He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace! Be still!’ Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?’

And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, ‘Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?’

Happy Anniversary Trinity!

A reminder that Sunday is Trinity's anniversary service at 11:15 a.m. Appin United is invited to join the celebration with guest speaker from Canada Foodgrains Bank. Lunch is provided afterwards.

Sunday School Service at Trinity

It's June already!

While it will be "business as usual" (worship as usual?) at Appin this Sunday at 9:45, church at Trinity will be across the street with St. John's Anglican, led by our Sunday Schools, at 11:10.

Weather-permitting, it will be outdoors so bring lawn chairs. A potluck lunch follows - with a barbeque available for burgers and hot dogs - so bringing salads and desserts would round out the menu.
