For the change in seasons we've decided to do a Summer Newsletter! 
An abbreviated version of the Newsletter will be arriving in your email on Friday morning, instead of Thursdays.

It is with regret that we have accepted the resignation of Dianne Deans as Office Administrator.  We have decided to utilize volunteer coverage of the office for the time being, and will re-post the position in the fall. 

Office hours in the summer will be sporadic. Emails and phone messages will be checked twice a week.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Ralph Connor has been asked by the Vancouver School of Theology and the Stoney Nakoda Nation to help with a summer program called   Teaching House.  

It is an opportunity for youth, young adults and Indigenous Student Ministers from Western Canada to learn about a unique area. In addition, there are FOUR spaces for RCMUC folks to participate in the Teaching House. 

This year the participants will learn about the United Church history, indigenous spiritual practices and sacred places of the Bow Valley. We will provide about 50 to 60 dinners on  Tuesday July 23.   Drivers for Wednesday July 24  in the PM for small groups   may  also be needed.  

THANKS to all who signed up to help out. See you Tuesday!!!
