/***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT From the ANTI RACISM TASK FORCE***
The picnic formerly known as Summer's Last Blast has been postponed until next spring or early summer. The Anti-racism Task Force is busy preparing for the necessary work of 2024, and we realize we are too engaged with these demands to host a big party, as much as we would like to do so. We give thanks to those in the community who have offered us their support, time, and energy. The plans have been laid. It WILL happen. Just not this year.
God bless the Anglican Diocese of Montreal, and we wish you a beautiful rest of the summer.

Bible Story Walk Testimonial
/Bible Story Walk Testimonial by the Rev Trevor Potter.
How did it go and how did the neighbourhood respond?
"I love this! I want to go and tell all my neighbors... Another lady was making her way to the library stopped and even came to tears, we later found out, that she was going through these and pondering the wondering questions and she told us she wanted to invite everybody who's at the library down the road to come and enjoy this as well that lady has since started attending the 8AM service that is here at St Paul's. So it's just you know this small simple gift of placing this Bible story walk telling the creation story out front and just offering it with no strings attached to the community to enjoy. We offer this as a gift, we don't want anything, we just want you to enjoy we want to bless you with it"
