This Saturday (20 April) there will be a lay-reader training day at the Cathedral.  Its focus will be pastoral visitation.  Lay readers in this diocese have already been empowered in at least one case to take charge of a parish, so training in pastoral care is timely.  For details and to register, see Layreaders' Day | Layreaders | Anglican Diocese of Fredericton

This Monday (22 April) is Earth Day 2024: earthday.org.  Remember the 5th Mark of Mission and celebrate and protect our precious planet.

St. Luke’s ACW is offering handsome flower arrangements suitable for cemetery headstones ($60.00).  All are made locally by Jean Collicott 328-8981 jcollicott7@gmail.com Arrangements are adjustable to fit the width of the stone.

On next Sunday (28 April) Archbishop Edwards will induct the Rev Maria Shepherdson as rector of the parishes of Richmond and Woodstock.  The service takes place at St. Luke’s, 5:00 PM.

Following the induction service there will be a pot-luck supper in St. Luke’s hall. Kindly label prominently any dish containing a cheese product.

On most days the rector offers a brief morning prayer time live at 8:30 AM (and viewable any time later).  See Parish of Richmond and Woodstock - YouTube

Until 18 May the McCain Gallery in Florenceville is hosting an exhibit of the mid-20^th-century Canadian jewellery and a display of costumes by students at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design.  One striking female costume was designed by the granddaughter of our own Joan Bowmaster.

Lives of the Saints – the roads

13 April 1941: “Mr [Frank] Grimmer had Easter Comm for over 70 this morning in Woodstock & back to the Corner at 8:30, then down to Kirkland at 9:45 & back to the Falls at 15 past 11. … Said he got stuck just 3 times.”

2 June 1991: “Worst road ever saw. Potholes foot and half deep.”
