Pancakes! Pancakes!! Pancakes!!!

It's that time of year again.  Our Fifth Annual Pancake Breakfast will be held this Saturday, July 30th.  Our wonderful team of tent-setter-uppers, table movers, pancake flippers and egg scramblers (thank you all!) will be there early getting ready to host our neighbours from 9:00 until 11:00 a.m.  As always, the food is free.

Blessing The Flag

Today we blessed the Peace Flag that had been donated to us by Ottawa for our 100th anniversary. The flag arrived last year and turned out to be much larger than I had anticipated. I think that it is actually about as large as our church! Gill Pye graciously volunteered to put it in a frame for us, and she did a terrific job as you can see from the picture.


To me the flag is a great symbol for three reasons. First off it is a central Canadian symbol and it fitting because we are proud to be a part of the Canadian Anglican church. Second, it is a great symbol of peace which is an essential value of the Christian church. We continually work and pray for the time when there will be no more war. And third, it is an acknowledgement of the fact that we are 100 years old. It will truly be a pleasure to hang it in our church.
