Sad News
 
We would like to acknowledge the passing of Maureen Woodhouse early on the morning of Saturday, February 4.  Maureen was a long-time and beloved member of the St. John's Bell Choir.  

Further details of her Celebration of Life will be made available as they are received.
Youth Group 2023
 
The next Peninsula Youth Group meeting will take place on February 19 from
3:30 - 6:30 PM.  All youth are welcome to attend.


We are off to a good start with a great group of youth gathering every two weeks. It includes a shared meal, and we could use some help there. Please consider if you could provide a basic dinner for 8-10 people on a Sunday evening. A few people contributing once (or twice) this season will go a long way.

Please contact Kathy
(kcawsey@eastlink.ca) if you can help or have any questions. Many thanks from the Youth Group!
Thursday Morning Contemplative Service
 
Please join us for a short online service every Thursday at 8:00 am. Music, readings, prayers and 10 minutes of silent meditation; and then some conversation if you have the time. Everyone is welcome.
