Here we are end of September with the Lindsay Exhibition behind us for another year. This was our 44th (or better) year that we have participated in the local fair….a record of which to be very proud.
Overall, we did just fine. After all is said and done, it is YOU volunteers who make it all happen. It would be literally impossible without your dedication. Thank you everyone for your enthusiasm and personal contribution.
You should feel very proud of what you have accomplished.

We had a lovely welcome back day on September 16th. Music was provided by the talented Jocelyn And Naomi Ball. They sang two songs, “How Amazing” and “Love Like This”. Our wonderful choir sang an anthem called “I have returned”. The videos are below.
Twenty people gathered at St. Paul’s Church in the wee hours of Saturday morning to join in the festivities via TV of the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan. The parish hall was decorated for a wedding reception, cake, favours etc. The church secretary provided us with a copies of the Order of Service that was being used at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. We all participated as if we were in the congregation. A fun time was had by all.

St. Paul’s has partnered with Cambridge St. United Church to provide a Friday meal for children at Queen Victoria Public School. Doreen Sinclair from Cambridge St. provided the bread and cheese, St. Paul’s grills and packed up the sandwiches .
Today 170 sandwiches were delivered . This pilot program will continue till the end of June, with the hope to continue in the fall.
