Notices:

New Summer Study Group:  “A Multi-Faith Society”: Join us for this 8-Week exploration in what might be termed “comparative religions”. Our Canadian cultural context is increasingly diverse. The same goes for religion. Perhaps we come to a deeper understanding and appreciation of our neighbors when we understand some of what they believe. This coming Wednesday, June 13th, from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. we’ll be looking at Pentecostalism.  In future weeks we’ll examine Hindusim, Islam, Jainism, Buddhism, and New Age thought.

Property and Maintenance Committee Meeting: This Tuesday, June 12th, at 5 pm.

Sunday Worship, June 17th – 125 Anniversary Service at St. Paul’s Presbyterian: At its regular April meeting, the Board of Rundle U.C. decided to invite all our members and adherents to join with our St. Paul’s friends in celebration of their anniversary. Thus we will not be offering Sunday worship at Rundle June 17th.   Rather we will meet at St. Paul’s for their Sunday service, which begins at 10:30 a.m.

Next Board Meeting: Monday,  June 18th,  7 pm.

Ukrainian Male Choral Music: on Saturday, June 23, 2012 4 p.m. at St Paul’s Presbyterian Church. Free admission, everybody welcome!
