Anglican Notes A bake Sale will be sponsored by the Afternoon Guild this Saturday, May 30th, in our church hall. We hope that the weather will cooperate and that all the ladies will plan to drop in, Our proposed new building is once again under discussion. There will be a Vestry Meeting, after Evensong, this Sunday (about 8 p.m.) The most recent plans drawn up by the Build- ing Committee will be presented for discussion and possible approval. Every member of the parish is con- cerned with this addition to our parish | hall in some way; through the Christ- ian Education of their children or the groups to which they themselves be- long; or at least through the fact that they will be asked to help support it financially. It seems sensible then, that we should all attend this Vestry meeting and at least see these plans and express an opinion, before the | the parish. tA Fiat building is started. Otherwise we will probably find ourselves complaining later that something or other isn't right, or doesn't meet our needs. And | we will have no right to protest then, if we didn't say our piece during the planning. Holy Baptism will be held during the 11.30 service this Sunday morn- ing (May 31st). A "Young Marrieds" group has been started in the Parish. After a plan- ning session at the Rectory last Sun- day evening, it was decided to hold our next meeting on Sunday evening, June 14th at the Rectory at 8 p.m. In the meantime it is hoped to extend an invitgtion to a number of the young couples in our parish to participate with us in this project, On Saturday, May 30th at 8.15 p.m. there will be a Youth Rally in the Presbyterian Church which has been planned by the ministers of six local churches including our own. Mr. and Mrs. David Foster, evangelists, will be the featured guests of the evening. The Sunday School teachers' group held its regular meeting on Tuesday, May 19th. The discussion for the first part of the evening revolved a- round the question of getting the parents of the Sunday School children interested and concerned with Christ- ianity in general and Christian educa- tion in particular. It was mentioned that many larger churches hold a "parents class" or some form of adult education group, and that this might be tried here. It was felt that the Young Marrieds group just being started might in the fall develop into something that would at least parti- ally meet this need. Other suggestions for creating in- terest among the parents were that an Open Night be held in the fall when Sunday School teachers could meet the parents and vice-versa. The teachers could show the materials used and try to give the parents an idea what the Sunday School is try- ing to do. This would help parents to re-inforce in the home the teach- ing given at Sunday School. Another suggestion was that some method of contacting the children who are ab- sent from Sunday. School each week should be employed. Another project for the fall is « workshop for Sunday School teachers, to be held jointly with the United Church, on Friday night and Satur- day, Oct. 16 and 17. Trained workers with the various age groups would come from Toronto to assist us with this. An interesting discussion was held concerning the needs of teenagers in It was felt that a young peoples group, with an enthusiastic young couple as leaders and counsel- lors, would be both interesting and beneficial. Such a group would in- clude discussion and counselling on personal problems as well as a social aspect. Mr. Fuller said he hoped that ia i THE PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 28th, 1059-7 a ---------------- ns Ee. leaders for such a group would emerge | sliding doors instead of a wall be. from the Young Marrieds group now ' tween two of the existing small rooms being started. It was agreed that couples of this age could get closer to teenagers than older leaders. The annual parish picnic was ten- tatively planned for Monday, June 29 or Tuesday, June 30th. Mrs. Porter, Mrs. Kenny and Mr, Fuller were se- lected as a committee to make the necessary plans, The teachers looked over the most recent plans for the new Sunday School building. The general concen- sus was that, while most of the plan looked good, a number of the rooms for classes were very small. This would be alright with the older age groups, but those who teach the very small ones need more space to move around in. It was suggested that use them as one room when needed, for a kindergarten Sunday School room or for some group meetings. The Evening Guild held its regular meeting on Monday evening, May 25 at the Church hall. Minutes were read and the discussion concerned the closing supper to be held June 8th at Mrs. Porter's. It was voted to give $125. to the Wardens for what- ever church expenses they may see fit to use it for. NR nto HELP YOUR RED CROSS RR 0577 Savings, too, ~~ have a with regular deposits.
