Announcements

Please join us for lunch following the service this morning!

A Word of Thanks – We would like to extend our thanks to Ron & Joan Matheson of Halton Commercial Printers for the donation of the invitations for today’s service.

Communion Sunday – Next week, June 5th, we will celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Please remember to bring your own elements as we are not yet able to use a common plate/cup.

Pentecost – Next week is also the celebration of Pentecost, when the fire of the Holy Spirit came upon God’s people. Please consider wearing red in celebration of the day!

Historic Designation Update – Lindsay Petch is currently investigating the effect designation will have on insurance rates for the church. The congregation will subsequently decide on whether to move forward with the request for designation of certain parts of our building. We have until June 15th to present a request to

Heritage Halton Hills in order to get on the Council agenda for July 4th; if we miss that window, due to the upcoming Council elections, we will not be able to present any request to HHH before the new committee is in place in early 2023.

Special Prayers

· For all who have had ancestors or loved ones buried in this place over the past 190 years

· For those who are dealing with health issues of many types – illness, injury, affliction, infirmity, or whatever.
