More Break Ins have been reported ~

Espokes received information, in response to Hortensia's recent post, of similar breakins inland, not just on the water. No damage during entry reported.  Again the pattern of alcohol and small household items taken. 

We recomment that everyone file reports with the RCMP to establish the pattern of activity. 

Be aware of activity around your neighbour's homes and cabins.

Baptism Classes

Up to now, the Thetis Island Community Church has never been a position to offer Baptism Preparation Classes. As we presently have a young congregate wishing to be baptised and a very willing minister prepared to teach the classes we are making these classes available to anyone who is interested in learning more about the meaning of baptism and what it may mean in their life. 

Attending the classes does not commit you to baptism at this time but may answer some questions about what it means to believe in Jesus Christ.  Classes are going to be held  May 12th and 19th from 7- 8:30 at the home of Rod & Myrna Brownlee, 29 Bella Vista Rd and Pastor Dan Rutherford will be officiating at all these events. 

The Celebration of Baptism will take place May 24th. 

Please call Rod Brownlee  (250-246-4303) or Cecilia Inness  (250-246-3013) for more information. Everyone is most welcome to attend.

Thank you,

Cecilia
