QUILT SHOW AND TEA
The 40th Anniversary of St. Mark’s United Church was celebrated by three special events the second weekend of June. On June 9th, the Mission and Outreach committee and St. Mark’s Quilters hosted a Quilt Show and Tea. Beautiful quilts were displayed in the church and hall. After viewing the quilts guests had the difficulty of deciding which of the delicious deserts to eat with their tea.
EDDIE PARRIS CONCERT
Saturday evening June 10th a choir led by Eddie Parris of Sydney brought the sounds of lively music and rhythmic hand clapping to St. Mark’s sanctuary. The audience that included the members of the local Red Hat Society enjoyed the performance. (The Red Hatters are an organization of women over fifty. The name comes from the poem “Warning” by Jenny Joseph that begins “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple with a red hat...”)
40th ANNIVERSARY SERVICE & DINNER
We were pleased that Linda Townsend came to be the guest speaker at our 40th Anniversary Service on Sunday June 11th. The Maritime Conference Heritage Quilt designed by Susan Manley, panels appliqued by Bea Tilsey and quilted by Barb MacIntyre was displayed at the quilt show and at our church service. A pot luck meal was shared after the service when Linda assisted Rev. Wilf in cutting the anniversary cake.
