April June 2026
Continuing on with the worship series
prior to Lent, our April worship services will focus on the Sermon of the
Mount. For four Sundays in May &

to show how important it is to address conflicts and then find a healthy way to
deal with them. June will include our
annual Fanshawe service followed by a potluck picnic and afternoon activities,
and a Sunday to honour our indigenous neighbours and friends.
