Items of Interest Memorial Cookbook:  by Dolores Whitman and the Girls. The book is now available and on sale for $10.  Wooden artifacts: John Ross volunteered his time and talents to fabricate the remaining altar wood into items such as crosses and boxes to commemorate our 60th Anniversary which were sold as they become available. Memorial Photo Directory: Sheila Vaudry has arranged a memorial photo directory for us in 2009. Sittings will be held in October 23/24 and November 5 -7 so that we can have our photos in time for Christmas 2009. Visiting Clergy: Arrangements were made for invitations to our past rectors to partake in a service and fellowship at coffee hour.  The Bishop’s office confirmed that he will be very pleased to attend October 10's soiree.  This does not pre-empt in any way his official visit to St. Mark’s on November 15, 2009.

 

The success of these events relies on your participation so don’t only attend but spread the word or bring a guest, lets show everyone the influence of Christ in our lives and that Anglicanism is not just a Sunday Service but a Life Style.
