At 6:30 p.m. Ken Carmichael will introduce another of his bird talks illus- trated with a stunning slide- show of his bird photographs, many of them taken in and around Scugog. Ken's talks always reveal a richness of bird life in this area which amazes even seasoned bird watchers. When Ken has finished daz- zling your eyes, Harvey Graham will take the stage and, in his own inimitable way, he will auction off the wonder- ful items which have been pour- ing into the church hall over the past few weeks. There will be a small admission fee - $2 per person - which includes light refreshments. The Religious Studies group, which meets after the Tuesday evening Eucharist, is holding a Prayer Workshop. The first session, held on Tuesday last, was devoted to an examination of meditative prayer. Father Hugh led the group in a pre- liminary look at "meditation aided by repetitive prayers" such as the Jesus Prayer and the Rosary. Participants gained new insights into this approach to prayerful meditation. Hugh also introduced the group to the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. And again, the mem- bers of the group were moved by the spiritual power of the exercises. Hugh's workshop is interesting and his ways of involving the group members are effective in getting ideas and understanding across; and they also make the studies enjoyable. This continuing workshop, which starts at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays is well worth attending. At coffee time after Sunday's service, Rachel Kubovic was the centre of attention as choir and congregation joined in a musical celebration of her 11th" birthday. Father Hugh has announced a change of schedule for the instrumental group and the youth choir. Conflicts with school activities have necessi- tated a shift of meetings from Tuesday to Thursday. Accordingly the groups first get-togethers will take place on Thursday, Sept. 25 at 3 p.m. Thereafter meetings will be held every Thursday from 3 to 4 p.m. We hope you will mark your calendars for a couple upcoming events.
