The appointed lessons for the day were read by the Rector. From these readings Rev. Pocock took as the theme for his message, John the Baptist. A Prophet was chosen by God and was a very special person, set aside to proclaim God's message. The world desperately needs Christian Prophets today. We should turn around, head for God, speak his truth and pass it on to others. Summer times begin next week as well as the summer change in location of the service. There will be only one service each Sunday and for the month of July it is at St. James. The month of August sees Holy Trinity hosting the service. The rector will be away for the Sundays of July 11 and 18. There will be a celebration of the Holy Communion next week July 4th, and then again on the 25th. when he returns.

Personals Murray and Alice Hodgson have returned from a three week visit to the Western provinces, flying to Calgary and renting a car to visit relatives in Calgary, Camrose, Edmonton, Quesnelle and Jasper.
