This is Fourth Sunday in the Season after Pentecost. It is also the Sunday before Canada Day, so we will close the service with the singing of our National Anthem. For information about on-line celebrations and activities, check out the following websites:

The recording will include the texts for hymns, etc., and the Service Outline is posted below. 

Thanks to Colin, Robin, Ron, Jssmin and Jim for the music.

If you are interested in adding your voice as a scripture reader, please let me know by email (minister@stdavids.com). All you need is a memo or voice recorder app on your cell phone.

For the summer months, we invite hymn requests for our recording sessions. So let me know what you want to hear!

I am taking the next two Sundays as vacation days, so the Worship Committee and friends will be providing the worship materials.

Blessings.

Stuart
