The Administrative Assistant Search and the Ministry and Personnel committees would like to welcome Amanda Winchester as the successful candidate to the position which will be vacated by Donna Larooi with her retirement next month.  Sixteen applications were received with 5 individuals being screened into the interview stage and then 4 excellent qualifiers going on to the final lag of the competition which was a conversation with Rev Audrey. Many thanks go out to all those applicants and all those who volunteered many hours to complete this process.  Congratulations Amanda!

LOOKING AHEAD: BEYOND THIS WEEK

Sunday, May 27 Please join our PRAYER FLAG PROJECT! On Pentecost we will be hanging prayer flags in the Sanctuary, and sharing our prayers with the world. We hope everyone will take at least one flag. You can write a personal prayer, copy a favourite prayer, draw on the flag, or maybe pin on a picture of someone you are praying for. Be creative! Let the Holy Spirit move you!

Although this is a Worship project and not a fund-raiser, you are invited to make a donation when you take a flag. Money raised will be given to the youth to use on their Mission Trip this summer. They too will be sharing our congregation's prayers with the world.
