St John's United Church Children's Choir: A fun and enriching musical experience for children ages 6 to 12!
We sing songs, perform dramas, perform songs with percussion instruments
and dance movement... and we have delicious snacks too!
The Choir is open to ALL children in the community, not just members of the
St John’s United congregation. There is no audition or registration fee required.
Rehearsals are held on Fridays, 3:30-4:30 at St. John’s House, 6233 Willow St. Registration begins
on Sunday, September 5. Please contact Ray Grant, Director of Music at 423-8498 or
by email at raygrant@eastlink.ca to register your child.

services. Curious newcomers are always
welcome. Visit the official Taize website: http://www.taize.fr/

Stewardship Development will be holding a Book Fair on Saturday, September 11 from 9am to 1pm.
We ask that you please donate any used books you might have. They can be dropped off at St John's House on
6233 Willow Street. We will also be having a baked goods table, and again we will be looking for donations. Chef Wendall's homemade chili and soup station will be open on that day.
As usual, we are looking for volunteers to assist us on this day. Usual jobs are set-up, working the tables and
tear down. Please see any member of the Stewardship Development Committee to volunteer.
We sincerely appreciate your help.
Leadership Mini-Retreat:
Saturday, September 18 from 8:30am to 1:30pm at St. Matthias Anglican Church, corner of Windsor and Chebucto.
If you are offering leadership of any kind for St. John's Congregation or are thinking of offering leadership in the future, this is for you.
It is clear that we will be in the desert (albeit at an oasis) for the next two years. We need to develop a sense of vision for how we will be and
who we want to be. We will also hear back from folks who attended the United Church Best Practices Conference known as More Franchises.
We hope to set some goals as a people of God.
If you plan to attend, please email or call the office: stjohnsunited@eastlink.ca
or 423-8498.
