Please join the Bishop at the Annual Bishop’s Dinner on Wednesday, June 13, 2012 (note earlier date this year) as we gather to officially launch new Youth Ministry Initiatives for the Diocese of Montreal! Our speaker will be the new Diocesan Youth Ministry Consultant, Mark Dunwoody.

The dinner will be held at the University Club of Montreal, 2047, rue Mansfield, Montréal beginning at 5:30 pm for cocktails and dinner at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $200.00 (income tax receipt for $150). Please contact Ardyth ext. 255 or Maria ext. 235 at 514-843-6577.

On the Island of Montreal alone there are 68,000 First Nations people who are Christians and not affiliated with any parish.

On Thursday, June 21, 2012, National Aboriginal Day, the Diocese of Montreal will host a day of awareness—“Caring for Aboriginal People: A Question of Respect.” This is a wonderful occasion for learning and sharing. It has been planned to be stimulating surprising, and enjoyable.

I encourage you and your leaders, particularly those involved in hospitality, in welcoming visitors (as stewards, greeters, sidespersons), in healing, in social justice and social outreach, as well as your wardens and vestry officers and individuals who have ties with the people of the First Nations—to attend this special day.

Broken Walls, an internationally renowned fusion Rock/Christian/Aboriginal musical group, is sending three of their members to provide music and animation. They will also offer a concert. All in all, a very lively day is planned, with workshops and exercises as well as informative talks.

The objective is for us to learn. How many of us pray daily for suffering in far places of the world, and turn our faces away from those who seek healing on our doorstep? I hope to see you and your people on June 21 in the Cathedral. The cost to attend is $22 per person. Please reserve your places now: http://www.montreal.anglican.ca/en/Serve/Caring

Consider making a foursome for the upcoming Diocesan Annual Golf Tournament, to be held this year at Whitlock Golf & Country Club on Monday, July 9. Speak to Revd. Eleanor for more information.

The 2012 conference will be held at Cammac on September 21 to 23. The speaker this year is Sue Winn. Lynda-Jean Coffin from Beaconsfield will lead our worship and music this year. The theme of this year’s retreat is Our God of Hope.
 

“Now may the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13

We place our hope in a lot of things. Why do we sometimes find it difficult to place our hope in God? Whatever we are facing in our lives, God wants us to trust in Him.

Sue Winn, teacher and former school administrator with the Lester B. Pearson School Board, has been involved in the work of the Anglican Church of Canada, nationally and locally for over 20 years. In 1992 she attended a Worldwide Anglican Encounter in Salvador, Brazil, an experience that was life-changing. From that time Sue has been passionate about the need for Christian response to social and justice issues. As a Lay Reader Sue enjoys preaching and teaching in Montreal area churches, Fulford Residence and in her home church, St. George’s in Ste. Anne de Bellevue.
Lynda-Jean Coffin from Beaconsfield will lead our worship and music this year.
