We will be hosting our annual egg hunt on Easter Sunday, April 9th. We are therefore in need of chocolate eggs for the hunt. Please bring any and all Easter eggs to church with you and leave them in the basket at the back of church. Thanks in advance!  

5. Guided virtual tour of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights on April 18

On Tuesday, April 18, we plan to host a virtual tour of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights on large screen in our church basement hall. This important museum, located on Indigenous ancestral lands in Winnipeg, is home to an impressive range of galleries and exhibits about human rights defenders and history – and you can visit them online by Zoom, all from the comfort of our church hall!  In our interactive 90-minute tour, our guide will narrate our journey with powerful, inspiring stories, and engage us in conversation about human rights in Canada and around the world.  Tea and treats will be served at 1:30pm, and the tour will begin at 2:00pm. To ensure we are adequately prepared, we ask that you RSVP by email by no later than Easter Monday, April 10 by email to office@staidansinthebeach.com or call 416-691-2222.  For more information about the museum and tours, go to: https://humanrights.ca/.
