Vacation Bible School
June 11-14, 9 a.m. to 12 noon
This summer kids can explore key Biblical themes through a program created by Buff+ and Mindy from Kate DiCamillo's award winning story: The Tale of Despereaux. Children will hear parts of the story read aloud, see clips from the animated film, and reflect on them through arts and crafts, drama, and imagining our church to be the castle and dungeon in which the story is set. We plan to have a local rhythm and blues artist providing live, electric music for rocking sing-a-longs. Cost is $20 per child, with a family cap of $40. Books are available for $8.00 and are in the Parish Hall for sale. Sign up with Mindy at church or click here for registration form and information. Come join your friends at Vacation Bible school this summer! |

Ini Kopuria
Founder Of The Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945
Ini Kopuria (died 1945), a police officer from Maravovo, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands formed the
Melanesian Brotherhood in 1925. He and the Bishop of Melanesia, the Right Reverend John Manwaring Steward, realised Ini's dream by forming a band of brothers (known in the Mota language as 'Ira Reta Tasiu') to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the non-Christian areas of Melanesia. He is commemorated in the calendars of the Church of the Province of Melanesia and of the Church of England.
