Happy day!

Artemis II - Documentary Video

For those of you who missed the Sunday morning service this week and wish to see the documentary featuring the Artemis II space voyage that was shown on screen, here is the link.

https://wwwDOTyoutubeDOTcom/watch?app=desktop&v=ynBIjTkaJZA

(replace each DOT with a period)

Anyone who is intrigued by the marvel of this earth we call home and the transformation many astronauts experience deep within when they view earth from hundreds of thousands of miles away… you may enjoy this short video. A thought provoking visual of the intricacies of creation!

If you wish to view the video without ads, you can try this trick… click on the link, once the video starts, hit pause. In the upper url address line, simply add a ‘ - ‘ after the ‘t’ and before the ‘u’ of youtube. Click enter and the video should switch to large screen without ads interrupting it.

Enjoy,

Spring Fling Clothing Exchange

Saturday, 2 May, 11am-1pm @Forbes Hall

My daughter has added some children's toys to her donation. Are you looking for a castle or fort?

Do you happen to have some sheets or towels you are tired of or no longer match your bathroom or bedroom?

My clothing rod in my closet broke the other day so I know I need to get at cleaning out my closet. How about you?

The Spring Fling Clothing Exchange is a great opportunity to clean out your closet, totes or attic and share with others in our community.

Volunteers will be needed to make this all happen.

Donations can be dropped off between 8:30 - 10:30am

9am - 11am -- sort donated items onto the tables

11am - 1pm -- help keep tables organized

1pm - 1:30 -- pack up remaining items for donation to the Thrift Store

Please contact me if you can volunteer for any of these duties. Also, if you have a clothing rack to share that would be great. Maybe some hangers.

Thank you to those that have offered their clothing racks. I am grateful that the Chemainus Thrift Store is changing their clothes hangers and I was able to pick up quite a few.

Thank you to those that have already volunteered.
Still looking for some more volunteers.
