Yoga Cancelled for March 26, 27, & 28

Hello everyone,

I am cancelling this week's classes - my immune system requires rest, so therefore I am going to take care of myself once again this week.  My deepest apologies, take care of yourself and I will see you again on your mat come the first week of April.  Watch for new class ideas yoga for golfers, yoga for gardeners, etc..

Warmly,
Dawn Gordon

Greetings from the Thetis Island Community Church

Blessings to all of you as you prepare your hearts to transition from Palm Sunday to Good Friday this week.  Garry Wicket will be giving the message this Sunday  using the Scripture Reading of  John 10: 1-10, “ I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved.”  Tim French will lead the service. Please keep the Missions we support in mind as you plan for your offerings. 

As you know, we normally only have two formal services a month  - on the second and fourth Sundays but because Easter falls on the 5th Sunday of March we  are meeting again.

How could we not?!   If you are new to the island services begin at 10 AM ; everyone is most welcome  to attend and we are “baby friendly”.

Next Sunday we welcome Chris Thomas back to the island and he will again share with us the Easter message.  It is my turn to lead the service.  You may recall Thetis Island Church has a particular tradition for Easter morning  in that we fill a wooden statue of a cross with daffodils – a symbol of rebirth and renewal- so please bring  your flowers along and tuck them into the cross as you come in.

The three winners of the gift certificates are:  Bob Pickell, Francie Beltgens, and Don Sinclair.
