On Sunday, SPPC hosted the Mobile Outreach of Youth for Christ in Greater Victoria, otherwise known as The Blue Bus. This ministry serves kids and teens on the Esquimalt, Quw’utsun, Tsawout, and Tseycum First Nations and has received support from our congregation for years. That support often takes the form of cookies and snacks for the after school programs, -- and prayer, always.
Kurt Friesen has succeeded Rick Wismer ad the program director (and driver) of the Blue Bus. He delivered the sermon on Sunday morning and answered questions during a lunch put on by our Missions Committee, and on the bus.
No matter which committee at the church puts on a lunch, our congregation always responds well to the offer of food!

Get out your fascinator and your best British recipe for the "street party" in our parking lot on Saturday. Officialdom in Canada has largely ignored this milestone in Queen Elizabeth II's reign so SPPC has stepped into the breach with a celebration for her Majesty. It's a street party, not a tea party, so no need for your best bib and tucker but we encourage red, white and blue. Bring a plate of finger food to share (British recipes encouraged) and come on down. The party starts at 3:00 pm and is strictly come-and-go so set your own timetable. All are welcome. We hope the whole neighbourhood will take advantage of the occasion.
There will be music but no speeches.
We hope for good weather, but will meet inside the church if the wind and rain are lashing -- of course, that's just good English weather, right?
Watch her coronation
Good reporting and great ad for the Jubilee celebration, thank you.
