Nominations for Elected Positions for 2012 |
|
We are trying something new this year in preparation for our Annual Vestry meeting on February 19.
This year, EVERY MEMBER OF ST. JOHN’S is encouraged to be part of the Nominating Committee.
We are asking each of you to prayerfully consider the positions that need to be filled for 2012.
The positions include: People’s Warden, People’s Deputy Warden, 2 Parochial Tribunal Members, Lay Delegate (and alternate) to Synod, and Coordinators for 5 Key Ministry Areas.
Job descriptions for these positions are posted with the nomination forms at the church and are also available by clicking here . Please carefully read the job descriptions for each of these positions, and if you know of people whose skills/strengths might be appropriate for particular positions, approach them and ask them if you may nominate them. If they agree, write their name (and yours) on the nomination forms that will be at the back of the church. Here is an example of what the forms look like.
At our Annual Vestry meeting, we will vote to decide who will fill each of the positions.
Please get involved. Take part. Make your voice count.

Mark your calendar for M arch 4th 2012 when professional actor Matthew Gibson -- named by The National Post as one of the best actors of 2004 -- brings The Gospel According to Saint Mark to vivid life at a 10:00 AM interdenominational service at St. John’s, Lakefield. Gibson gives what is considered the oldest of the Gospels a dramatic two-hour solo performance, bringing the text alive through a unique blend of storytelling and theatricality with the text of the performance being the entire Book of Saint Mark from the King James Bible of 1611. For more information about this performance click on this link.

Bea Quarrie's Christmas Story |
|
On Sunday December 18, St. John's parish hall was full of sounds of lively chatter as 80 people enjoyed a festive Christmas lunch of tourtiere and Christmas pudding. Bea Quarrie, a popular adjudicator for the Sears Drama festival and former arts and drama teacher, told her story of the foggy night December 3rd, 1956 when she, her family and others maneuvered their way through minefields as they were escaping from their homeland, Hungary, after the Russian invasion.

Some of St. John's
musicians who play wind instruments got together for the first time
to play some favourite Christmas Carols. They were accompanied by
Gwedhen Nicholas on the piano and their friend John Deck on string bass.
Marty Smith and Diana Bigg play alto saxophone, Gwen McMullen plays tenor saxophone,
Georgia Kidd plays the bass clarinet, Doreen Roland plays French horn while Glen McMullen plays trumpet. They
received many compliments from the congregation who encouraged them to keep this
band together and play again.
