The Intercessions
V. In joy and hope let us pray to the Father: That our risen Saviour may fill us and all
believers with the joy of his glorious and life-giving Resurrection. Lord, in your mercy,
R. Hear our prayer.
V. That isolated and persecuted churches may find fresh strength in the good news of
Easter. We remember the Christian churches in the Middle East, in India, and in those
parts of Africa where there is religious conflict. We also pray for the churches in the
mission fields of the Canadian church, in our cities and the far north. Lord, in your
mercy,
R. Hear our prayer.
V. That God may grant us humility to be subject to one another in Christian love. We
pray for the Church throughout the world, especially in the Anglican Communion, for
Justin, Frederick and Percy, archbishops, for David our bishop and John our rector and
archdeacon, and for all ministers, lay and ordained. Lord, in your mercy,
R. Hear our prayer.
V. That God may provide for those who lack food, work or shelter, for refugees and
those displaced because of war, civil and religious strife, famine and natural disaster,
remembering particularly the people of Nepal who have experience a second major
earthquake. Lord, in your mercy,
R. Hear our prayer.
V. That He may reveal the light of His presence to the sick, the weak and the dying, to
comfort and strengthen them. We remember those for whom we have been asked to
pray, especially those in hospital: Lynne Vye, Bunny Hodgson, Wendell Guitar, Shirley
Purdy, Marvin Weatherby, David Baxter, Cindy Nickerson, Roberta Jellison, Lee
Sackett, Gloria Richardson & Johnny Haley. In our prayers we remember the family &
friends of the late Don Parks. Lord, in your mercy,
R. Hear our prayer.
V: We pray with special remembrance of family, friends and neighbours who are
marking special events in their lives: We remember those celebrating birthdays this
week – Tynan, Reilly, Marianne, Troy, Julie, Lily, Bob, Dianne & Brodie - and those
celebrating anniversaries –John & Debbie. Lord, in your mercy,
R: Hear our prayer.
V. That, according to God’s promises, all who have died in the faith of the Resurrection
may be raised on the last day. Lord, in your mercy.
V. Hear our prayer.
R. That He may send the fire of the Holy Spirit upon His people, so that we may bear
faithful witness to his Resurrection. Lord, in your mercy,
V. Hear our prayer.
R. Heavenly Father, you have delivered us from the power of darkness and brought us
into the kingdom of your Son: grant that, as His death has recalled us to life, so His
continual presence in us may raise us to eternal joy; through Christ our Lord. AMEN

ACW ANNUAL DINNER
A cordial invitation is issued to all the women of the congregation of All Saints Church to
attend the annual ACW spring/summer dinner to be held on Tuesday, June 9th at
Europa Restaurant. To register call Tessa at 529-3360 or Lila at 529-3531 by June 5th.
Social time will begin at 6:00 pm with dinner following at 6:30 pm. Cost is $30.00 /pp tax
included. Plan to attend for a wonderful evening of food and fellowship! A special guest
for the occasion will be Bishop David Edwards who will be on his pilgrimage of the
Deanery of St. Andrews. Payment in advance would be appreciated.
MORE ACW NEWS
Four members of our ACW - Muriel Carrothers, Mary Janet Clift, Jean Zazalenchuk and
Tessa Castell - were part of the 143 ladies attending the annual ACW Diocesan meeting
on May 5 at the Christ Church (Parish) Church in Fredericton. Bishop David Edwards
greeted the members and gave a stirring sermon. He reminded ACW members that
even though they have a history of faithful support for overseas mission, that now we
have to think about missions in our own parishes.
Other highlights of the gathering were speakers Rob Pitman of Threshold Ministries in
Saint John and youth and intergenerational ministries director Colin Macdonald. It was a
very full day but filled with fellowship and renewal of old friendships. The group only
attended one day of the two day meeting due to other activities, but felt it to be a
worthwhile event. One other bit of excitement was finding a moose in the middle of the
road on the way to Fredericton. It kindly moved over to the side and we carried on,
amazed at the size of these enormous beasts, and thankful it wasn’t a problem.
SUMMER NEWSLETTER
Preparations are underway for the summer newsletter which will be distributed by June
6. If you have anything to be included, please have it into the Parish Office by Tuesday,
June 3. Your help with this is appreciated. Thank You!
SPECIAL THANK YOU’S
Some special “Thank You’s” are in order. With spring finally here there is a different sort
of activity that takes place that we’d like to bring your attention to. As you came into
church this morning, you may have noticed what appears to be two brand=new park
benches fronting on King Street. These are not new but have been lovingly restored by
our sexton, David Bell. Thank you, David, they look awesome!!
If you were to drive – or better yet, walk – further up King Street to the Loyalist
Cemetery, you would note that it has received its spring cleaning. It has been raked, all
the twigs and branches that were the result of those many nor’easters that we
experienced this winter have been removed. This task has been completed thanks to
the many volunteer hours of Edgar Johnston. Thank you, Edgar!!! Also note that work
has begun on restoring the portion of “Rory’s Fence” that fell victim to a wayward
vehicle one cold winter’s night in January, driver unknown.
MAYBE YOU COULD HELP…..
One of our parishioners is trying to find a record player which has the capability of
playing 33 1/3 rpm records. Many of you won’t even know what those are! They are also
looking for talking books or CDs of good music. Call the Parish Office (529-8662) if you
can help with this request.
