Some Additional Announcements and the

Outside is a Ctrl-ART-del theatre production being held at Highland Hills United Church on Aug. 18 and Aug. 20 at 6:30 p.m. It tells the story of Daniel, who transfers high schools due to homophobia and bullying and decides it’s time to open up to the Gay-Straight Alliance. At his old school, his two friends are trying to start a GSA, but the audience is not receptive. Produced in partnership with Pride in the Highlands, admission is by donation at the door. For more information and to reserve a seat in advance, visit tickets.ctrlartdel.ca/tickets. See attached flyer.
For those traveling south on Hwy 35 be prepared for delays. The Hwy is going to be getting a new covering and the company is busy prepping the sides of the road in preparation for the new pavement from the turn to Haliburton south to The City of Kawartha Lakes boundary.

Meditation has been part of the Christian tradition since the days of the desert mothers and fathers. Continuing that tradition, we gather weekly to support one another on our meditation journey. Brooksong Retreat and Cancer Support Centre offers us a restful space. We gather on Tuesday afternoons at 1:30 pm, share in learning, 20 minutes of silent meditation, along with a brief time of conversation. If this form of spirituality calls to you, let Marybeth Wilson know of your interest, or simply join us at Brooksong.
Sincerely, Rev. Max
