Church Calendar

Hello everyone:

I hope you have had a wonderful summer break and are getting ready for the fall season, although it looks like summer weather will continue for a little while yet!

Knit and Knead is ready to return. Hopefully we will be able to meet for the full year for the first time in a while.

Knit and Knead will be a little bit different going forward. Due to the pandemic, many of the people who helped us with the baking have still not returned to church or are simply feeling too old to continue. So we have been in discussion with the new cooking class that is also being held at the church. The conclusion was that Knit and Knead will continue with the "Knitting part" and the cooking class will take on the "Kneading part". Many people have told me that just being able to chat with each other and get to know each better is important to them, especially after the last two years, and so that is what we will try and do - foster relationships and community. The cooking class dates are not yet known but they will be on the alternate month to Knit and Knead. So, in many ways, Knit and Knead this year will be similar to last year. We will still have the potluck at the end of the year, and we are looking at different volunteers eacht time sharing some cookies or cake each time along with a recipe. We will also be looking at occasionally having people share. If you have any other suggestions, please feel free to contact me. The cooking class will be promoting Knit and Knead and we will promote the cooking class and hopefully may of us will join both. The cooking class is for both men and women and is focusing on inviting people from outside the church to attend.. Knit and Knead could hopefully build on that,, welcoming female newcomers to our church in a fun and casual way. And, of course, we aren't limited to knitting - bring a craft of your choice or just come to chat. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Also, please let me know if your e-mail has changed or you know of people who want to be added to the list, so I can make the changes.

Our first meeting will be on Saturday, September 17 at 11:00 a.m. Bring your friends, your favourite craft and some lunch, and we can catch up with each other. I will send out a reminder a week before we meet.
