Planting day is almost

upon us! The gardeners

have been preparing the

flower beds at the Gar-

den and now we are

looking forward to do-

ing the planting on

Monday, June 1st, as

we do our best to Social

Distance!! We hope you are anticipating the

delight of the Garden's bright colors as much

as we are. The hanging pots are also com-

ing along nicely and will be hung a little

later in the month.

If you find yourself downtown and

can swing by Lucy's Flowers and Gifts,

Shirley will accept donations and we would

appreciate it if you could "Buy Us A Six-

Pack". It will help us bring the sunny cheer-

fulness to our Community that the bright

flowers bestow!

May Kreklewich, for your Wawanesa

Jon Stewart

“If you can find a path with no obstacles, it

probably doesn't lead anywhere”.

Frank A. Clark

“You‟re going to fall down, but the world

doesn‟t care how many times you fall down,

as long as it‟s one fewer than the numbers of

times you get back up”. Andy Sorkin

“If you think you are too small to be effec-

tive, you have never been in bed with a

mosquito”. Bette Reese

“The only thing that ever sat its way to suc-

cess was a hen”. Sarah Brown

“A graduation ceremony is an event where

the commencement speaker tells thousands

success”. Robert Orben

moving, just in case they try to take it back”.

HUNTER: When Dale passed away on

April 20th, we were flooded with over-

whelming support. Thank you for all the

kind words, stories, photos, phone calls,

cards, flowers, food, gift certificates and fi-

nancial contributions towards Dale‟s memo-

rial, to support his adopted grandson Korbyn.

A special thank you to Moray at Jamieson‟s

Funeral Services for your expertise and kind-

ness.

We sincerely appreciate all the love sent our

way. It has eased the pain of his sudden pass-

ing. Like you, we cherish the time we spent

with Dale and will forever hold him in our

hearts.

From Gord, Marlene, Kim, Kirby and

Korbyn, Lana and Drew, Tasha and family,

Teagan and family, Lew Dalman

and Esther and Byron Clark

“Thank you”

BROWN: I would like to extend my heartfelt

thanks to so many friends and neighbours

who called to see if I was doing all right and

to see if they could bring me anything.

Thanks also, to those who brought delicious

baking, and those who volunteered to clean

up my yard and cut down the huge limb that

was damaged in the big wind. It was all very

much appreciated, the way folks look after

one another during this strange and difficult

time.

In Memory of MAVIS CHAMBERS

April 12, 1943 - June 19, 2018

If roses grow in Heaven,

Lord please pick a bunch for us.

Place them in Mavis‟s arms

and tell her they‟re from us.

Tell he we love her and miss her,

and when she turns to smile,

place a kiss upon her cheek,

and hold her for a while.

Because remembering her is easy,

we do it every day.

But there‟s an ache within our hearts that

will never go away.

Have you or someone you know moved away from the community? Please submit a

photo and few lines update so we can include you in an upcoming issue.

Marge & Henry Hanssen : We left Wawanesa in 2012 to live close to our children and 5 grandsons. We

live at a small lake, called Nakamun, one hour northwest of Edmonton. Our 2 sons live 35 and 60 minutes

away, so we see them often. Its fun in all seasons. We do miss the friendly folks at Wawanesa.

Wawanesa United Church All services are postponed for the

present time, in light of the COVID 19 outbreak.

Facebook Service 11:00 am

Rev. Harvey Hurren Cell: (204) 724-8701 Home Phone: (204) 726-0625 Email: hurren@wcgwave.ca

Things have not changed a great deal

since last month other than we are enjoying

the warmer weather and the gradual easing of

the COVID-19 guidelines. Our United

Church continues to function effectively

thanks to the interest and assistance of the

Church Council, the congregation and the

community.

The „live‟ services on the Wawanesa

United Church Facebook page have done

wonders in bringing worship to our homes

each week. It is so special to be able to see

the inside of our church on Sunday mornings

as we are invited to listen to the wonderful

music and the spiritual messages. Heartfelt

thanks go out to Rev. Harvey and Shirley for

their inspiration, to Tannis and Maureen for

their wonderful music and to Kevin for his

camera skills.

And, of course, it‟s a special treat when

Brian & Dorothy Granger are able to add

their special music. Their Brandon Hills tal-

ent fills a void because we are unable to

broadcast from their church due to technical

difficulties. All are welcome to join in until

we are able to worship together sometime in

the future.

Join us on „Facebook‟ - Sunday, May

3lst for Pentecost - Sunday of the Holy Spirit

Special Music – extra singers to lead a lively

Pentecost Service. Hymns. „Names Day for

Kids‟. Rev. Harvey will be preaching. Joy-

ous Sunday - Birth of Christ‟s Church.

In the meantime, please carry on God‟s

work in the church by praying and by com-

municating with others in the congregation

and community. A cheerful phone call goes a

long way to ease the loneliness or pass the

time for someone experiencing the side

effects of these very difficult times.

Unfortunately, while we wait pa-

tiently for the lifting of the COVID-19 clo-

sures, the church continues to have bills to

pay. If you are currently on PAR, thank

you for your financial support. If not, there

are other options such as Interact e-

We welcome summer as the month of

June is the beginning of summer events.

For Manitoba, it was to be a year of celebra-

tion. So many extra events were planned to

celebrate the province of Manitoba, being

the fifth province of Canada. We as a

church, were looking forward to being part

of those celebrations in Treesbank. As all

those activities have been put on hold for a

year, they are postponed, not cancelled.

As a church, our weekly services had

to be adjusted. The gathering together was

postponed not cancelled. Through this time,

the need to connect with people, to visit

family, became heightened as we were told

by the government not to meet in groups. A

quick lesson on the technology to livestream

on Facebook, helped with continuing the

teaching time.

With the easing of restrictions and

having a congregation smaller than 50, we

are looking at being able to meet outdoors at

the church. Our series on the book of He-

brews finishes with the urging to be hospita-

ble and share with others. The people at the

time were going through hardships and

needed the encouragement to keep their

eyes open to the needs of the people around

them. It is surprising, when some will say

the Bible is outdated, but the value of look-

ing out for others, is as applicable today as it

was 2000 years ago. We have now experi-

enced the cries of many, across our country,

that have lacked attention. Our care homes

and seniors are one visible group in our

community that have felt the impact of be-

ing isolated.

We are beginning the reopening of

church slowly, with outdoor services,

Services inside the Church

weather dependant of course, and bring your

own lawn chair. The services will be at 10

am. We will do our best to monitor the 50

person limit and to have hand sanitizer and

cleaning protocols in place. Other events for

the church are still to be considered at this

time.
