Our time of remembrance at St. Luke's started on November 5th with a special Silver and Sage presentation, "A Little Patch of Ground - Literature of WW1". This presentation explored the experiences of people on the battlefront through the prism of poetry, stories, and memoirs they left behind. Thank you to Brenda Morgan for organizing this special presentation and to all the readers who took part.
At Fantastic Friday on November 6th, adults and youth created remembrance pots with rosemary, a Canadian flag, and a poppy cross to the pots. Thank you to Tuf Turf for providing at no cost the sand for the remembrance pots. Thanks to Rick and Noreen Saville for providing the rosemary, filling the remembrance pots with sand, and setting them up in the cemetery ready to distribute.
Our Service of Remembrance on November 8th was held inside this year due to inclement weather. After the service, parishioners placed the remembrance pots on the veterans' grave.
On November 9th, two classes of grade six students from Cedar Hill Middle School visited St. Luke's Cemetery. They added their poppy rocks to the veterans' graves, as part of the national No Stone Left Alone program.
