May Notes

 This week's virtual service is available at https://youtu.be/uagxh8qcNaI

 The May long weekend is a bit different this year. No travel, no

Victoria Day parade, no backyard BBQs, no pretty picnics. 
  Even so, we have some milestones to celebrate at SPPC this month.

Brian M. had a 90th birthday! Thanks to Bill and Margaret and

Vivian and Brian, he got a birthday party, under the COVID 19 rules. Lots of social distancing, outside, and limited attendees.

Thanks to Bill for sending along some pictures.  Happy Birthday Brian.

Joan Larsen had a birthday in May. She's living in Calgary now, so no party from SPPC. Still, I came across this old photo of the "Living Flame" circa 2002, having ice cream in our yard. That's Joan centre back. I know she loves ice cream, so I hope she had a bowlful on her birthday.

Other birthdays include Meta and Sylvia and Russ and Diane. There may be others but they've been kept secret.

Linda and Albert celebrate their wedding anniversary on the long weekend, as do Tore and Alice. In fact Tore and Alice celebrate on Diane's birthday.

1988 at Metropolitan United Church

Verse 3 of Psalm 100 is a great scripture for celebrations. It reads 

Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

  Actually, do yourself a favour and read the whole psalm. It will lift your heart.
