Discipline of Celebration

 This week's live-streamed service can be found here.

 From Pam's Garden                

The last session of Bible Study was on the discipline of celebration, so this week's blog is all about celebrations.

~~ Max has returned from his travels and is starting his new job this week. The job grew out of his co-op program, but it is now a full-time, real life, first job.

~~Speaking of Max, his convocation ceremony is this Thursday at UVic. 🎓 He is graduating with a Bachelor's in Software Engineering. Well done, Max.

~~Congratulations to Peter and the whole Stelly's Rugby 7's Team. Last weekend they won the provincial championship at a tournament in Richmond. Way to go, Peter.

~~Kathy was well enough to come to Bible Study on Wednesday and she brought along her brother and sister-in-law. Good to see you up and moving, even if your gait is slower than normal.

~~As seen on CHEK News, Valerie and Cedric celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary last week. 🎉

~~Neill and Carla are celebrating their anniversary on June 15.

~~ On Friday, June 17, Elizabeth and Brian are getting married in the sanctuary of SPPC. The entire congregation wishes them much joy.

~~ Happy Birthday to Bin Sie, also on Friday.

~~ We are still getting good vibrations from the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. This lovely tea-set was loaned by Joan, a friend of the congregation, to suit the occasion, and we've received a thank you note from the local Commonwealth Society in appreciation of our efforts. 

~~ We had new volunteers in the kitchen for coffee hour on Sunday morning. Thank you Rosalie and Fred.

~~ On Thursday night, a newcomer to the church came to choir practice. Joyce is working on her English as well as her music. There was much laughter. 😀

~~ Finally, next Sunday, June 19, we will celebrate the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. In Jesus Christ we are forgiven.
