Thanks to the parishioners of St. John's and the Essex Community Church, the bake sale to benefit the fund raiser for Matt Looby raised $550. Thanks so much to those who baked, bought and volunteered!

Prayer Retreat Planning Session

 

Please join us on Monday, September 17th 10am-12:30 as we plan a community ecumenical Prayer Retreat for November.

 

Refreshments and lunch are provided.

 

Planning programs are available in Persell Hall or ask Father Craig, Lyn Barrett or Rose Kaszuba for more information.  

 

  

A new class is arriving this month in Montreal, from Jordan, Syria, Israel and Palestine.  

 

We are in our FINAL preparations for an October tour of Israel, Palestinian and Bedouin villages, Jordan, and a Syrian refugee camp. There is room for a few more attendees! I went on a nearly similar 10-day tour last year. It was exceptional, and heart-warming to see first hand the real progress being made in shared living, at the grassroots, by graduates of the McGill Masters in Social Work program for Mideast students. 

 

This "friend raiser" tour will begin and end with dinners hosted for the group by the Canadian Ambassadors to Israel and then Jordan.

 

Please call me for details and to join us!
