We have openings for Greeters and Readers. Greeters arrive a little early for the service and help ensure that guests and regulars are welcomed.  Readers participate in the service by ready the lessons. If you feel a calling to do this important ministry please let us know in the office.

Community Activities

Card Sharks
The card craft group, known as the Card Sharks (leader Terry Willow), meets on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month in Littler Hall. Techniques for creating cards are taught by professionals, Marianne Kowalchuk and Robin Schuy. Under Angela Goddard’s leadership the group also created at least one hundred Christmas cards that were sold at the Christmas Fair and in the narthex. The cards were sold for $4.00 each and all monies collected were donated to the Parish
Stitching Ladies

The Stitching Ladies (led by Diana Caleb) get together to stitch, knit and quilt on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays from 1:00–3:00 pm in Diana’s house. Attendance varies with 15 regular attendees from our parish and around the region.  This group continues to create pillows for the church as well as facecloths for Soap-for-Hope.

Walking Group

Walks take place every Friday morning, weather permitting.  We vary the walk location each week and you are welcome to bring your dog.   Walks begin at 9:30 am and last about an hour and are ususally easy with few inclines or tricky footing. The average distance is between 3-4 kms. Please contact the office if you would like to be added to the email list to be notified where the walk is each week (we ususally decide on Thursday based on the weather!)
