Last year at the Parish of Grand Manan’s annual general meeting, parish treasurer Melanie Sonnenberg had more than church finances on her mind.

She was fretting about the attack on the city of Mariupol and the plight of the people of Ukraine. Mariupol is the hometown of her daughter-in-law, Tanya Psaras, who has lived on Grand Manan for eight years. But Tanya’s family was still there, caught up in the brutal invasion by Russian troops.

“They were under siege,” said Melanie. “I felt overcome to stand up.”

The Rev. Kevin Borthwick and the Rev. Chris Hayes will be installed as Canons of Christ Church Cathedral at the service of Installation and Collation on June 11.

Archbishop David urgently asks for your prayers for Archbishop Ezekial Kumir Kondo, Archbishop of the Province of Sudan and Bishop of Khartoum. He, his family and staff have had to flee as the Cathedral and compound have been attacked in an uprising there.

As a Constitutional Monarchy, with His Majesty King Charles III as our official Head of State, Canada will witness an historic moment with the Coronation on May 6.  And as members of the World Wide Anglican Communion, this event will also be an historic moment in the life of our church.

At the center of the coronation is a Christian service in which His Majesty will be anointed as King. It will be rooted in longstanding tradition and Christian symbolism and is an opportunity for us as followers of King Jesus to pray for Charles and others in positions of earthly authority. 

Join us IN-PERSON at 7 a.m. on Sat. May 6 to view the live-stream of coronation service together at St. Paul's in Hampton.

There will be tea and scones at the beginning of the service (bring your favorite tea cup), and breakfast bake and juice to share after the service.

All are welcome, so please invite your friends and neighbours.

The April edition of the 'ReConnect & ReFrame' series will focus on alternatives to supporting our ministries.

Many are aware that we need to consider ways of funding our ministries and outreach initiatives other than just through the weekly offering. Did you know that there are ways and funding sources out there to help support what we are doing, as well as enable us to launch new initiatives? This month we will hear from two gifted individuals who have dedicated their work to helping non-profits and the Church in doing such.

Join us for this important information session. For more information, contact Shawn C. Branch.

**Please note: not all sessions will be recorded, as requested by the presenters.

A woman had an attack of laryngitis and lost her voice completely for several days.

To help her communicate, her husband devised a system of taps. One tap meant "Give me a kiss," two taps meant "Yes," seven taps meant "No," and 95 taps meant "Take out the garbage."
