To say Kathleen Snow’s life has changed is an understatement.

The newly commissioned president of Mothers’ Union worldwide now has a travel schedule that rivals that of a busy CEO.

The Diocesan Synod of Fredericton is looking for a person interested in joining the Board of Governors of the Atlantic School of Theology.

The Board is responsible for the governance of the university, including financial sustainability, regulatory compliance, and overall strategic direction. The board is particularly looking for fundraising and/or engineering/architecture/construction experience, although that is not an essential requirement.

The Board meets in a hybrid fashion five times a year as a full Board, and Governors are also expected to sit on at least one Board Committee – Finance, Audit, Governance, Strategic Plan, AST/Saint Mary’s University, Advancement, and the Executive – and there are occasional, shorter-term opportunities to volunteer for work as well.

Governors are appointed for a three-year term and serve for a maximum of two terms; Governors begin and end their terms at the university’s AGM (in mid-June).

If you believe you are qualified, willing, and called to represent the Diocesan Synod of Fredericton and to bring your gifts to the work of Atlantic School of Theology, please email these details to the nomination Committee nominations@anglican.nb.ca before May 21.

When you turn 80 years old, there ought to be a big celebration. That’s what’s planned for Camp Medley, the diocesan camp which opened in 1945 as a place for kids to get out of the cities and back to fresh air and nature. Everyone is invited, especially those with a link to the camp.

The day will include a worship service, live music, memorabilia, food, tours and more. Accommodations will be available for those needing or wanting to stay the night.

If readers have any memorabilia from camp — crafts, photos, t-shirts — they’d like to show off, they’re asked to contact John (director@campmedley.ca). As well, if readers have stories from camp they’d like to share, please send them to this address:  friends@campmedley.ca.

Clergy College 2025

June 9-12, 2025

Courses | Location | Schedule | Logistics & Qs

All clergy and licensed evangelists are invited to the Clergy College - a gathering of fellowship and learning!

Rogation Sunday will see the vicar of Kings Landing, the Rev. Canon Walter Williams, lead a procession around the village as he asks God's blessing on various aspects of farm life — the animals, the fields, the plough, the water and so on. 

The service begins at St. Mark's Chapel of Ease. It is a 15-minute walk from the Kings Landing welcome centre to the chapel, and there is also a horse and wagon, subject to availability. 

All are welcome. Admission is free for those attending this service. 

Take exit 253 off Route 2 and follow the signs. 

NOTE:  There is an afternoon service every Sunday at St. Mark's from June 8 to Thanksgiving. All are welcome, and admission is free for those attending the service.

Children aged 8 - 18 are invited to join us for a week-long choral camp filled with singing, learning, friendship and fun, culminating, as usual, with a glorious and beautiful Choral Evensong. Adults are invited to join us for the latter half of the week!

Founded in 1957, the Diocese of Fredericton Choir School has brought generations of Christians together through the beautiful spirit of music.

For more information or to register (by May 31), see the choir school website.

St. Michael’s is an annual conference in the Anglican tradition for youth aged 13–19. Together we pray, study, and play. Since 1987, St Michael’s has formed a vibrant community within the Anglican Church in the Maritimes. Our conference participants—or Michaelites!—don’t do things by half measures. When we worship, we worship God reverently in spirit and truth. When we study, we challenge ourselves to learn deeply. When we kick back for games and activities, we make sure that we have a blast.

The new pastor at a country church had some exciting ideas for the future. At the elders meeting he presented his vision with great energy and passion. The senior elder then called for a vote. All 12 elders voted "NAY"; only the pastor voted "AYE."

The pastor was crestfallen, but just at that moment the clouds darkened, thunder rolled, and a streak of lightning burst through the window and struck the table at which they were sitting, throwing the pastor and all the elders to the ground.

As they all got up and dusted themselves off, the senior elder said, "Well, that's twelve votes to two then."
