Community lunches are back! This month Yvonne will be putting together a lovely pasta primavera. 

Friends, family, neighbours, and visitors are all welcome to join us. The lunch starts at noon.

This week the walker's will meet at Valhalla Sports on the corner of 29th and Cliff at 1:30 pm.  The plan is to walk the Maple Lake trail in Courtenay and swim in Maple Lake.  Looks like another warm day ahead.  If you’re planning on joining the walk please text Mickey at (250) 702-9141.

Mickey also needs people to lead walks on September 28 and October 17.  Let her know if you can lead a walk that you choose.

Bible study resumes on Monday, September 8. It will take place on Mondays from 10:30 to 11:30 am, possibly as late as 11:45 am.

Mickey will lead the women's study on Romans. 

Ron will lead the men's study on Genesis.

Rev Irene Gifford-Cole leads a weekly Compline service Wednesdays at 7pm at her house. On the second Wednesday of each month, dinner is at 5:30pm. Please let Irene know if you are coming for dinner! For more information please email Irene (use the form below) or contact the office. 

We need more people to help serve coffee at the 10:30 service. Unfortunately, this means there will be no coffee on certain Sundays after the 10:30 service (September 21, October 12, November 30).

There will always be coffee after the 8:30 service. On days there is no coffee after the 10:30 service people are welcome to come early to join them. 

We hope someone can help cover the gaps. Please talk with Yvonne if you're able to help.

Currently, there is no fixed date for the return of choir rehearsal. Choir members, please keep an eye out for emails from Lois-Ann about the fall start up.

The answering machine is working again. You're welcome to call and leave a message after hours. Email is still the most reliable way to contact the office and is preferred when possible.

St George's United Church, along with Society of St Vincent de Paul, the Salvation Army, St John the Divine, and Bay Community, provide free, warm lunches five days a week. Everyone is warmly welcome, families, individuals of all ages, valley residents, and people passing through.
