a social gathering just before

musical ministry of our
Church and we invited
him back again for the
last Sunday of Easter
for a service of Confirmation. During this service, through song (Sesame Streets, Who is the
person in your
neighbourhood?) And visual (pictures
of our Good
Friday Stations
of the Cross),
we presented
our neighbourhood to our
Bishop. After
the confirmation, Bishop
Geoff invited
the Congregation to come
forward, to
seek anointing
as we affirmed
the growth we
had experienced by becoming the story we tell.
This Lent
we are again
pleased that
we will be using the program, Becoming the Story you
tell. We are even more
pleased, that on April
3, 2015, Good Friday at
12:00 noon, the churches located on Elizabeth
Avenue in St Johns will
again be worshipping

neighbourhood with
the Greatest Story Ever
Told.
