As we close down the Sunday School classes for summer break, we shall make joyful noises inside and out. Remember our Potluck

Picnic this coming Sunday the 24th of June. Please do come and join us for games, fellowship and food.

Our little people are still most welcome, and there will be some activities available

for them to keep busy with in our classroom during the summer. We are also looking forward to Vacation Bible School, which is returning in August this year.

Please mark your calendars for the week of August 13th-17th, and then a special service on Sunday the 19th. If you can lend a hand with this, please consider lending your talents with snack prep, crafts, singing or drama.

The diocese is proud to be co-hosting this year’s National Worship Conference. The conference aims to assist us, as people of faith, in responding: liturgically, theologically and ritually to natural disaster (earthquake, fire, flood, hurricane). All of which are increasingly impinging upon our experience; as well as disasters of human making, such as terrorism and violence. Often, in such situations, it is the church that is called upon to give language and song to the emotions people experience. We will bring our rich traditions together and give voice to the unspeakable.

Bring your knitting or your crochet and join the group on the couches in the Cozy Corner.  Don't know how to knit or crochet?  No problem they will be happy to teach you!  Prayer shawls carry the prays of the maker and the love of The Maker to the individuals who receive them in hospitals, care homes, or crisis.  

About the Art: The diocese commissioned artist Frank Nelson to create a piece of art reflective of the diocese.  Of the print, Frank Nelson wrote: 

“Within all First Nations cultures we have been provided with gifts from the Creator.  The houses or killer whale, raven, wold and eagle dictate our discipline in life and the demands that the Creator makes of us to maintain integrity, respect, honour and humility.  We are not to place ourselves over and above anybody; we are all the same - children of God. 

The print can be found in the foyer of St. Mary along with the write up from the Anglican Diocese of B.C. 

Thank you to Bishop Logan! 

On June 9th at 4pm our church was filled with many people joining us in celebration as we marked, along with Bishop Logan McMenamie, the beginning of our faith journey together with Rev. Aneeta Saroop. 

Pastor Aneeta feels that this service was a true refelection of our warm St. Marys’ community that is filled with much grace and active in the love of God. Here’s to fruitful ministry together in sharing God’s love for the world from here in Metchosin! 

Please join us for our Vacation Bible School this August 13th-17th 9am-3pm. This year's VBS will be full of games and activities as we explore the rights of the child through stories and lessons. The VBS will be held at St. Mary's of the Incarnation, 4125 Metchosin Road and the summer camp is free though the spaces do fill up early we reccommend that you please register your child before July 13th to avoid disappointment.
