The Rt. Rev. James Cruickshank Many of you may now know that Bishop Cruickshank died this past week.  The funeral will take place at Christ Church Cathedral, next Saturday, January 16th at 3pm.  

Do you enjoy coffee hour after church?  We are in need of more assistance on the first Sunday of the month. We would really appreciate an offer of help. Please let Marion O’Byrne or Jos Laskey know if you can.  

Parish Directory – Some time ago work was started on a new parish directory which had been about 50% completed when it went into hibernation.  A parish directory is a booklet of photos of church members with names below so that everyone can put a face to a name and a name to a face.  A directory also ensures the parish has everyone’s correct postal and phone details etc. which are kept in the parish and not shared outside the parish leadership.  We did a lot of the address and phone details last spring so now it is more a matter of finishing the photographs.  Confidentiality is respected and paramount regarding contact information.  It’s now time the directory project came out of hibernation and it could actually be completed quite quickly with a few people to help.  If you are interested in helping bring this to completion, please speak with our rector, Steve.  

It's that time of Year Again… - Our Annual Vestry meeting will take place near the end of February so we are asking for reports from the various groups responsible for producing these.  If you are responsible for a report, please email it to the church office:  churchoffice@shawbiz.ca
