Good Food Box ~ 24 Boxes for June

The June order period for the Good Food Box is now closed. We have 24 boxes ordered for pick up at the Parish Hall on June 18th.

The Good Food Box is a non-profit community-based initiative bringing neigbours together to buy a variety of delicious and nutritious fresh fruites and vegetables at wholesale prices.

The goal is to purchase food that is in season and is grown as close to home as possible. It works like a large buying club with centralized buying and coordination. And it`s open to everyone - with no membership fees.

If you would like to purchase a Good Food Box for future months please go to their website to shop online: HERE

For more information you can contact our Good Food Box Coordinator Gail Carroll at THE CARROLLS <thecarrolls@xplornet.com>

St. James Scattering Garden in the Cemetery
This past Sunday we had a wonderful Cemetery Service at St. James. We did not dedicate the scattering garden as originally planned but instead will wait until the fall when the garden is more complete. We will keep you posted. If you would like to participate in the building of this new sacred space please contact Charlene Johnston at 470-0142 or reddoggiegirl@gmail.com

Charlene is also on the continual look-out for people to help with some of the work in the cemetery. Each of our church cemeteries should have a Cemetery Committee and we have not had a full committee at St. James for years. I would invite you to consider how important our cemetery is to our community and if you are able give Charlene a call to help out.

What you are being asked to do:

- there is no cost to you - it is free.
- photo sessions are Sunday June 15 and Sunday June 23 at St. James, after church
- you will be given a digital copy of the photo to keep - free

Only you can make sure this photo memory book is complete.  We need your picture!

Later this fall a memory book will be created.  You will have an option at that time to order and purchase one of the books (no obligation).

Lastly, for anyone unable to attend, please let me know (ensing@sympatico.ca) and I'll be happy to arrange for you to send an existing photo for inclusion in the book.
