On Sunday June 25, 2017, Anglicans from across the Tri-Cities North Burnaby Deanery will be gathering for worship, food, and fun at Blue Mountain Park in Coquitlam. The festivities begin at 11:30 am with a joint worship. There will be a regular 8:30 am service and shortened 10 am service at St. Johns this day to allow people to choose to either come and have Eucharist here first or sleep in J and go directly to the park. Following a “Prayer and Praise” in the park, lunch will be shared at the picnic shelters. Participants are invited to bring lunch for themselves and something to share, e.g. vegetable sticks, cookies, watermelon, cheese and crackers, drinks. That way, any guests or newcomers can be warmly invited to attend and to eat, drink, and be merry! Those who have outdoor games suitable for any age are encouraged to bring them along (perhaps mark your name and phone number on the equipment). Lawn darts or full contact croquet, anyone?
Coffee and Crafts will meet on June 7th in the church hall at 9:30 am. Everyone is welcome.
