8 Loaves & Fishes Growing Project Continues This local food growing project helps support the Canadian Foodgrains Bank which helps some of the neediest people around the world. We seek your prayers and where possible your financial help. For your prayers and support in the past we express a grateful thank you. Merv Jessop Please keep your ministers informed If you know of someone in the hospital or needing a visit please let us know. We d rather be told 2 or 3 times than not at all. Thank you. If you go into the hospital, for a planned surgery or unexpectedly, and would like a visit, please ask to have your name added to the Presbyterian list. This will ensure that Neal and Laura know you are in the hospital when they check in at the Spiritual Care office. FLAT Jesus is Back! This summer, you are invited to have fun with a Flat Jesus again, or for the first time. Pick up your copy of Flat Jesus from the Children s Education Resource table. Colour the picture of Jesus and take him with you. Take pictures at home or wherever else you spend time. Send them to the Church and we will create a bulletin board again to remind us that Jesus is always with us. Happy Travels!
