before the congregation is informed.

Favourite Hymns / In the Community
Do you have a favourite hymn?
There are papers in the Narthex to write the title of the hymn and your name
(both will be printed in the bulletin). Please submit your request during the offering. / The Saskatoon Opera production of the Magic Flute centres around societies dependence on technology. Wouldn't it be nice to just go back to a simpler time? A slower time... Back to a time when you could sit on a car hood in a field and just watch the clouds go by without the content noise of every text, tweet, Instagram like, Facebook message constantly keeping you up to date in our fast past world? We'd like to think so.
Get your tickets June 14-21 and watch something that will inspire you. Come and see Saskatoon Children’s Choir members perform. Forget the world for 2 hours and completely lose yourself in Mozart's gorgeous opera.
