Spring Cleaning at St A's

Spring Cleaning at St A's

The Lower Hall floors have had a refresh!!

This past week the Lower Hall has seen both the tile floor and carpeted areas revitalised!!

Many thanks to Randy & Rita for overseeing this process which was long overdue.

The company not only waxed the floor but provided and extra sealant

which should preserve the tiles and make clean up an easier process.

The carpet looks much better although there are a few places that some marks just couldn't be shifted

(after the many years that the carpet has served the space this is not surprising!!)

There are still a couple of tweaks that need to be made; this will take place after Easter.

GATHERING AROUND THE KITCHEN TABLE

GATHERING AROUND THE KITCHEN TABLE

Thursday afternoons 1.30pm - 2.45pm A Zoom Event

            I'm so happy that it is time to gather again.  Our weekly winter session will resume on Thursday, January 16th from 1:30 to 2:45 pm.  You are invited to gather together on Zoom to enjoy these informal afternoons with friends as we explore and reflect on various aspects of our life of faith--and how this informs the choices we make as we encounter the complex and sometimes confusing times that we live in.
 
          Handouts will be sent by e-mail early each week to help bring a focus to our conversation.  So bring your coffee or tea or “whatever” and gather around our virtual kitchen table.       
 
            If you have any questions or want more information,  contact me at wildrosie7@gmail.com.  Please feel free to invite a friend to join us.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all each week.
