Searching for a New Rector

The Process Continues

The Search Committee continues to work hard on compiling the various sections of the Parish Profile with an end in sight.

This Sunday, Nick Trussell from the diocese will be attending the Search Committee meeting after the 10am service to assist with any questions that may be outstanding.

As previously stated, this document will form the basis of the information that will be advertised to potential applicants. Each person / group of people have taken responsibility for the various sections that will be included in the profile and many of these have now been completed. It is hoped that the profile can soon be submitted for a final edit and then on to Bishop Steve for publication.

Survey results from both online and in person submissions (on the flip charts in the Lower Hall) have been compiled over the last week and inserted into the document.

If you have questions or wish to add any more thoughts with regard to the profile, please feel free to contact any one of the search committee members:

Steve McAuley, Mikaela Hanley, Joe Sparling, Pat Jameson, Megan Crane, Christa McMillan, Amy Kellestine, Annie McKitrick, John Vandenbeld, John Hanley, Aaron Parker, Amanda McAuley. Cheryl Tyler and Israel Flesaker.

Happening in our Community

Sunshine Garden

$20 + 1 hour a month for Membership

The Sunshine Garden has 37 raised garden beds of various sizes and heights for seniors, anyone with disabilities, young people, and children. There are currently four plots available for membership,

The Sunshine Garden exists to provide community, family, and new friendships along with opportunities for sharing experiences, knowledge, and showing youth how food grows. Along with environmental stewardship awareness about sustainable urban agriculture, the Garden supports healthy living, nutrition, and physical activity. Now is a good time to get a plot as the cost of food keeps rising.

We have the convenience of a composing station, rain water collection, a tool shed, and the bonus of some fresh fruit trees.

Garden meetings are held on the 3^rd Wednesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. in the basement of St. Augustine's Anglican Church, 6110 Fulton Road. The next meeting is THIS WEDNESDAY March 18.

The other Wednesday of the month we meet at 6:30 p.m. at the garden. Our membership volunteer hours that are required help to maintain the garden appearance and friendships.
