AND NOW THE DETAILS:  

1.  Wednesday, July 19 — Morning Eucharist Cancelled Due to construction in the chapel, the Wednesday morning service (10:30am) is cancelled for July 19. Wednesday services will recommence on July 26.  

2.  Cancelled – Music in the BackYard - The weather forecast for Saturday afternoon and evening calls for a 70%-80% chance of thunderstorms, so, reluctantly, we will have to cancel Saturday's Music in the BackYard and reschedule for a date in August. The weatherman should be fired.     

3.  Live-streaming Paused for the Summer  There will be no live-streaming of our Sunday services during July and August. Instead, you are invited to visit https://www.youtube.com/@stjohnsnorway/streams on Sundays at 10:30am to join the live-stream of our neighbouring parish St. John the Baptist, Norway.  

4.  Summer Schedule of Sunday Services Reminder: During the summer we will be gathering for one service each Sunday, at 9:30am. We will return to our two-service schedule on September 10, when we celebrate St. Aidan’s Day (our patronal festival).  

5.  Music in the Summer  Over the course of the summer months our choir members, along with several parishioners, take a well-deserved break. During this time, specifically at offertory and communion, a musical reflection will be offered in place of a hymn.  The remainder of our musical experience remains the same; there is still an Opening Hymn, a Responsorial Psalm, the Gospel Acclamation, the Holy Holy Holy, as well as a Recessional Hymn. You’re invited, as always, to heartily sing out during the service!  

6.  Altar Flowers for July and August    July 23rd and 30th, August 6th and 27th are open for a flower dedication. If you are interested, the cost is $80 for the two vases. Please contact Hian-Lie Liem at 416-706-3775 or at hian.lie.liem@gmail.com  

7.  Food Bank Needs  Donations of non-perishable food items for the Grace Pascoe Care Centre food bank and the St. John’s Norway food pantry are always welcome.  Grace Pascoe Care Centre has asked specifically for donations of the following items: peanut butter, canned fish, canned vegetables, pasta sauce, canned beans, cereal, granola bars, diapers (size 1-5), baby formula, and period products. Please place them in the basket in the narthex. Note: empty egg cartons are needed once again.  Thank you!
