Please drop in at any time on Saturday morning to assist with the cleanup. Please bring gloves and, if possible, tools such as clippers, scrapers, a rake, a weedeater, or an outdoor broom. Many hands make light work. 

Everyone welcome!

We will hold another Fall Cleanup on Saturday, October 31st.

Langham Court Readers' Theatre, in conjunction with Silver and Sage, is presenting Two Radio Plays on Saturday October 3rd, from 1:30 - 3:30 pm in the church.

Badges and Bullets, written by Mitch and Jo Barnes, is an homage to the Golden Age of live radio, bursting with comedy, colourful characters, and chaos. This radio play is directed by Mitch Barnes.

Steinway Grand, written and directed by John Varszegi, is a comedy involving two strangers, a piano, and a battle of wits.

You and your pet are invited to a Blessing of the Animals service.

This will be a short service (about 30 minutes long) in the church with a blessing of the animals at the end. You may also bring a picture of a pet (living or deceased) so that the pet can be blessed or remembered.

Please invite your friends and their pets to come to this service with you.

A Service of Remembrance will be held on November 8th at 10 am.

The service will start in the church and then will move outside to honour the veterans in St. Luke's Cemetery. The names of the more than 195 veterans resting or commemorated in St. Luke's Cemetery will be read and remembrance pots will be placed on their graves.

The service will be livestreamed starting at 10 am as well as recorded to view later at your convenience. 

This e-mail list was compiled from contact information St. Luke’s Cemetery Committee has regarding descendants, family members, and friends of people buried in St. Luke’s Cemetery. 

The e-mail list is used to send out newsletters and information about special events regarding the cemetery at various times throughout the year. If you do not wish to be on this list to receive these occasional updates, please reply to this e-mail and let me know and I will take you off the list.

We also encourage you to visit the Cemetery pages of St. Luke's website. Click on the Read More button below. The Cemetery section at the website includes links to a database of veterans buried in St. Luke's Cemetery, stories of the people resting in the cemetery, and a database with names and plot locations.
