Due to the feedback from our Lenten and Holy Week Morning Prayer, we are extending this to the first two weeks after Easter. 

After Church Gang

The AfterChurch Gang is back for April, and we're hoping you would join us for a bike ride April 12.  
The plan is: we'll be meeting up at Saint Laurence, April 12, at 2pm, to carpool to our destination.  

Route to be communicated in the WhatsApp group soon. We expect about ~20km, round trip and very doable.  

If you're interested, email the office, and we'll add you to the WhatsApp group, for easy coordination.

VBS 

Save the Date! Vacation Bible School 2026

Planning is underway for VBS Summer 2026. It will be held August 24-28, 9:00-12:00, hosted jointly by Saint Laurence and Good Shepherd.

VBS is for kids ages 4-11. Our program is filled with learning and fun through games, crafts, storytelling, science experiments and music. More details and registration information coming soon. Mark your calendars!

If you would like to help out in any way - with decorations, crafts, games, drama, or leading a small group, please email office@saintlaurence.ca

Saint Laurence has a wonderful reputation as a welcoming, caring community. A part of this, is the opportunity to have coffee, a bit of food, along with conversation with others. Coffee time volunteers help make that happen.

We need at least one more coordinator (orientation provided) and several more volunteers to be part of a team. This involves coming early, about every 5-6 weeks,
to help set up, stay after to help clean up and possibly bring a little bit of food to share.

I was told this week, that the camaraderie in being part of a team is a wonderful place to connect with others.

If you would be willing to volunteer or if you have any questions, please speak to Sylvia Wallis or contact the office; office@saintlaurence.ca or 604-936-5423.

Would anyone like to join the Altar Guild?

We aim to have four or five groups of two, so that each person only has to prepare the sanctuary every four or five weeks.

If you are interested, please see Terry Newell, or contact the church office.
