Dear Church Family,

I hope you have a beautiful long weekend. It always seems to be the gateway to summer.

I want to remind you that your household can meet with me at the church to receive communion. If you wish to do this, please contact me or the church office to set up a time.

We will continue to worship on-line for the time being. We will be revisiting this decision as the situation in Saskatoon improves and vaccine numbers go up. When we do return to worship in person we will continue to have our worship services available on-line. If you would like to be part of the team that makes that possible your help will gladly be accepted. There will be opportunity to learn new skills as well. The covid virus forced us into the 21st century and now we need to learn how to keep that up.

Mental Health suggestions this week – Thank you to Gwen Gleason-Graham who has provided a number of suggestions. Here are two of her suggestions:

1. There is a lot of talk on mindfulness recently. The definition of mindfulness is: "being present in the moment with acceptance". Prayer is one of the options in the mindfulness realm. Prayer allows us to be present in the moment, take the space to breathe and just be; it's also extremely beneficial both physically and emotionally.

2. Keep in contact with others … reaching out by the means that we have available to keep connected to others means even though we can't always see them we know that we are loved and cared for!

I am still collecting your mental health suggestions to share with others. Your suggestion might be just what someone else needs to hear.

God bless and keep you well,

Pastor Marilyn
