 Love can be used either as an essential name of the divine nature or as a personal name of a divine person- then it is the proper name of the Holy Ghost, as Word is the proper name of the Son. Thomas Aquinas (c.1225-74)

Nursery Help Needed We are in need of people to help out in the Nursery on Sunday mornings. In keeping with our “Leading with Care Program”, every effort is made to have two workers in the Nursery at all times. If you are able to help out with this ministry, please see Bonnie, or sign up on the sheet provided in the Nursery.
Samaritan House/University Food Bank The item for March is toothpaste. Thanks to all who donated the 45 bars of soap.
Helping Hands It was a very quiet Monday as there were just around 100 diners and volunteers there to enjoy the salad and spaghetti. Thanks to the cooks and also to those who have donated money. We will serve chili tomorrow.
Lenten Coin Boxes It’s that time of year again! The boxes are very flimsy, so will need to be taped. There is plenty of time to fill them, as the last day for returning them will be May 2nd. Be sure to mark the box with your envelope # as the proceeds are part of your givings.
Health Kits for Haiti The kits, 15 in all, have been assembled, packed and delivered to 10,000 Villages where they were very gratefully received. The extra items were also taken there. A big thank you to all who participated with such generosity. |

Join us for an afternoon of interesting facts about TEA.. and TEA things.. TEA cosies, TEA pots, etc. and something about the history of TEA. This will be a fact and fun-filled afternoon as we hear a presentation by Bonnie Wilson, sample various kinds of TEA, enjoy a delicious treat and each others’ company.

And for your information, this TEA Store is owned by Terry Gryschuk and Patti Gerrard who are a part of this congregation. Others who have seen such presentations give glowing reports!
