The clocks spring forward

Check your clock before you retire on Saturday

Dear friends, whether it's the "last time" or not, we will move to Daylight Time at some strange hour in the night between Saturday and Sunday!  So, we will gather for worship, as usual, at 10 am on Sunday, but it will be 10 am PDT.  Please check your clock to ensure you're making an informed choice about your destination and timing on Sunday!  

And, yes, even if you forgot, you're likely still able to grab a cup of coffee or tea  ... and a few chuckles!  

The Most Rev’d Douglas Walter Hambidge

The Most Rev’d Douglas Walter Hambidge

March 6, 1927-March 2, 2026

This week, Archbishop Douglas Hambidge left this earthly life.  He had a long and dedicated career, and was the Bishop of New Westminster and the Metropolitan (leading our ecclesiastical province of BC and Yukon).  The Most Revd John R. Stephens, Archbishop of New Westminster and the Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of BC & Yukon has sent a lovely letter that announces +Hambidge's death.  

You may wish to read this letter, not only to learn about the devotion and gifts of +Hambidge, but to appreciate the lovely type of bond that can arise amongst those who serve the church. The Most Revd John R. Stephens Archbishop of New Westminster Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of BC & Yukon

A "gentle reminder" that our basket at the entrance to the church can accommodate lots more packages of (new) socks and underwear.  These humble, essential items are in great need by the community family at Our Place.  Thank you for your ongoing generosity!!
