Announcements
Thank you to Rev. Ralph Taylor for leading our service today.
Last Saturday April 26, 46 people arrived at Rideau Hill Camp with rakes, rags, chainsaws, enthusiasm and excitement. It was Camp Clean Up day! People of multiple generations picked up sticks, raked leaves, tended the fire, cleaned cabins and sorted through items in preparation for our upcoming season of camping. Now it would not be a Camp Day without an incredible lunch also provided by volunteers. We had students from 15 different high schools, colleges and universities there to help and enjoy the fellowship of working and eating together. Many of our newly hired staff joined the work bee. As always, St John’s United Church was incredibly well represented. On behalf of the campers, whose lives are changed by their experience at Rideau Hill Camp, a huge Thank You for your participation and the mentoring you provide.

Office Hours: Due to changing times, the church door will be locked even during office hours if Helen is in the church alone. However, we do want to remind everyone that she usually walks and or bikes to work, so "no car" does not mean no Helen. Please check the door and if it is locked, please ring the bell, and wait. If she must be away, she will leave a note on the door. The office hours are: Tues, Wed & Thurs 9-2, Fri 9-12.
Thank you for looking after one another by staying home when you have symptoms of cold or flu.
"Listening Ear" - our Worship committee has a list of members who would love to lend a listening ear to anyone who needs to hear a friendly voice over the phone. Please call or email the office so Helen can add you to their list of members who need a call. We also have volunteers willing to deliver groceries.
