I publish the Banns of Marriage between Christina Karen Alison Smith of Elmira and Bryce Andrew Siderius of Kitchener.
If any of you know cause or just impediment why these two persons should not be joined together in holy matrimony, you are to declare it.
Any person knowing of a lawful reason why this marriage may not be solemnized should inform the Rev. Sinclair before the service.
This is the second time of reading.
At the request of the Board of Managers the Session of Gale Presbyterian Church has called for a congregational meeting to be held June 17th at 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss a project to install solar panels on the church and to authorize the use of trust funds for this project. All participants in the Gale ministry are invited to attend.
Pastoral Care Team will gather on June 8th at 7:00 p.m. The focus will include a discussion about “Distinctively Christian Caring” – discovering more effective ways of using resources such as prayer and scripture as tools in caring ministry. Everyone is invited to attend. Please speak to Anne Sinclair, Sandy Wilmering or Janet Martin for more details.
Kintail on the Road will be returning once again this summer to Gale Church! Mark the week Monday August 24 to Friday August 28 on your calendar and plan to have your children join us. This year’s theme is “No Matter What!”
Registration forms are now available in the church office or online.
Please drop off all completed registration forms at the church office.
Registration is open to ANYONE.
We have spots for just 5 children so sign up soon!
SHOWERS OF HAPPINESS
Laura Kendall is getting married this summer!
John & Sandy will be travelling to Muskoka for their daughter’s wedding!
As it is difficult for Laura to get to Elmira for a “Bridal Shower” at Gale, we are instead going to send our showers of good wishes and a gift card from her friends here to her home in Vancouver. (Gift Cards travel a little easier!)
Your contribution for Laura’s gift card can be given to Carol MacIntyre, Wendy in the church office or it can also be left with Karen Pond at the gift card table no later than July 5th.
We are so happy to give Laura and Scott our best wishes and prayers for God’s blessings as they make this important commitment in their lives.
SOW SEEDS – TRUST THE PROMISE
The Seeds have been planted and now it is time for our annual Field Dedication.
Please join us on Wednesday, June 24th at 7:30 p.m. at the top field, on side road 4th Line E.
After the dedication please join us for strawberries, ice cream and a social time at the home of Jean Goodwin #7219 in the village of Inverhaugh just a short distance from the field.

Your presence would be most welcome and the view is spectacular!
To get to the field toake Line 86 E. towards Guelph. Just after the West Montrose Bridge, turn left at the lights at Katharine St. N. (formerly Reg.

General Assembly: Imagining the Kingdom…
This Sunday, Presbyterians from across Canada are gathering in Vancouver, BC for our annual General Assembly. Tristan Gerrie, a young adult representative at last year’s Assembly, shares, “I felt the Spirit amongst us during our worship services, heard of God’s work around the world through our ecumenical speakers and felt the warm embrace of fellowship amongst my brothers and sisters in the church. I am grateful for this opportunity to have been involved.” This year, under the theme Imagining the Kingdom commissioners will once again come together to discuss policy, approve budgets, share stories from their ministries and dream for the future.
