St. Paul’s Cobden is pleased to support The Big Give again this year.

It will be held Saturday, June 7th from 9am to 12pm (43 Astrolabe Rd, Cobden).

We have been appreciating the opportunity to hear from Kenneth Kasule, Director of Wide Smiles for All Through Education in Uganda over this last month! He has been sharing with us the amazing work that Wide Smiles has done in providing education to young people and their hopes for the future. For the next two Sundays, Kenneth is visiting and speaking at parishes outside of the Parish of the Valley and will return to the Parish of the Valley churches on Sunday, June 8th at St. Paul's Cobden and Sunday, June 15th at St. John's Tramore.

On Wednesday, June 18th we will be hosting a Farewell Potluck for Kenneth at St. John's Eganville - the time will be announced in the next week. Please do plan to join us there as we thank Kenneth for his visit and wish him well on the next part of his journey.

We are also still in need of a few billets for Kenneth for some dates in late May, early June. If you would be willing to host Kenneth in your home for some or all of this time period please be in touch with Carol Clark of St. John's Eganville by calling 613-625-2755.

The next service in St. Augustine’s Chapel, Beachburg will be held on Sunday, June 8th, the Feast of Pentecost, at 7pm, led by Rev. Matthew and Rev. Gillian (with help from Lily and Thomas!) All are welcome!
