Sorry to be a blog-hog, but I've just confirmed we'll be having a very cool book presentation at the upcoming deanery meeting!

That meeting for clergy and laity of the BC deanery parishes is scheduled thus:

Holy Resurrection Church Vancouver
Saturday October 28th
10 am to 3 pm

Guest Speaker: Fr. Michael Gillis, Nativity Antiochian Parish

Besides Fr. Michael's talk, lunch, and deanery business, we will also have a reading from the new Conciliar Press book Keeper of the Light: The Life of Macrina the Elder by the author, All Saints Victoria member Bev Cooke. Fr. Michael's wife Bonnie Gillis, the illustrator of the book, will also be present to take part and answer questions about her work.

This book appeals to youth and adults alike, and so will the reading/q&a session, though I can't say for sure how youth-friendly the rest of the day-long gathering will be. Books will be available for sale and can be signed by the author and illustrator.

The a-MAIZ-ing Maze

So, here's the scoop.

On Sunday the 24th of September (ONE WEEK from this sunday, folks) we will be packing up after lunch hour, around 12:30-ish to head out to the corn maze in Surrey/Cloverdale. There are all manner of nifty attractions to keep us busy there until we head out back to the church, where you parents can collect your youth at 4:00. Click the link below to check out the events and information, or call me or Dave if you have other questions.
We still need one or two more volunteer drivers, so if you're available, please give us a call as well.

What to bring:
Sensible footwear
A sweater/jacket
If you are a girl (or boy) and wearing a skirt to church, you may want to bring a change of clothes that you don't mind running around in and getting dirty.
Sense of adventure. (if you don't have one, Dave will be happy to share his abundance with you.)
