Our Salvadoran friends and family write weekly to ask how we are doing. Cheryl writes notes back.
Foremost they are healthy. They have beans and corn from the last crop. It is time for new planting and fortunately the rain has arrived. However the nearest stores, a 3 hour walk away, are closed. There are no buses running to take them to the larger centres. In addition to needing necessities like oil and rice they need supplies for planting.
They ask us to take care of ourselves and assure us that they are waiting for us whenever we can come.

was making a trip to the dump. As he unloaded his trash another man was unloading his trash. That load included a small scrawny bush ... a Rhodo. " Are you really throwing out that Rhodo ? " he asked, "my parents could make that grow."

And so we became the proud owners of the scrawniest Rhodo ever seen. As we expected, the Rhodo didn't know that it was a mess and so with good soil and lots of encouragement, it decided to grow and become beautiful.

We would like to find its lineage and give it an appropriate name. It has provided us with great joy with its yearly beauty. For years it has been called "Dump Rhodo". We have decided that wasn't good enough so have recently changed it to Rhodo Antoniensis. If you are a Rhodophile and know it's proper name , we would be delighted to hear from you.
Blessings, Evelyn Dobson

As we continue on our path to becoming an affirming congregation it is important that we speak up against racism and other forms of discrimination. It has been reported that there is currently an increase in racism and BC Business Council, Faith and Community groups have signed a letter inviting us all to take a stand against racism.

Thanks to those who continue their financial support to the church through ongoing monthly PAR contributions. As well, thanks to the many Envelope users who are sending their offerings by cheque, through the mail to the church office. We want to assure you that these envelopes are being received, and cheques are deposited to the bank weekly by our Financial Administrator, Sheri Kathrein. Thanks, Sheri, for handling this. With the congregation's faithful support and generosity, the church continues to serve its people and its purpose.
