Hike for Hospice The “Hike for Hospice” this spring in Hanover is Sunday, April 28th at the P.& H. Centre. Plans are progressing nicely for the ‘new build’ for our Saugeen Hospice at the edge of Walkerton. Several in our congregation are participating in the hike and welcome your support. Their names are listed in the Narthex. Donations of $20. or more will receive a tax receipt. See more information in the Narthex, or pick up a pledge sheet and join the hike!

Healing Retreat – Restored by Love A retreat on inner healing led by Fr. Adam Zettel, LC, and a team of collaborators. The retreat theme is based on the teaching of Dr. Bob Schuchts, author of “Be Healed”. This retreat seeks to help you uncover the lies that are rooted in past wounds and renounce them in the name of Jesus. From there, you will be free to find your identity as a son or daughter of God in the truth that he speaks to you in your place of brokenness. In a gentle approach that respects the time you may need, this healing retreat helps to open up the most difficult parts of your personal history to Jesus, in the context of his loving care for you, so that you can be restored by his love. May 10 – 12th at St. Benedict’s Parish in Milton. For more information see below or the parish bulletin board.

Scripture Quote to Ponder and Put in Action:

    “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."   - Philippians 4:8

John 15: 1-8    Discussion Questions:

1.   Ice Breaker:  If you were to describe yourself ‘as a plant’ which would you pick & why?  (ie:  towering oak, weeping willow, rose bush, apple tree, dandilion)

2.  As a branch on Christ’s vine, how would you describe the fruit in your life?

3. What does it mean to abide in Christ?  Is it intentional in your daily life – how can you raise that percentage this week?
