The office is open at regular hours, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 9 a.m. to 2.p.m. For further information call (905) 833-5181, or www.kcuc.ca All Saints' Anglican Church Submitted by Claire Alexander This Sunday, visit the 150-year-old chapel with your neighbours, and take a tour to see the progress on the brilliant rainbow of colours that brighten up the church and narthex. This week (Aug. 12) our honorary assistant, Rev. Ann Shorrocks, will lead our worship, with Nancy Devine bringing the homily. Join in a service of Holy Eucharist at 8 or 10 a.m., and stay to chat at 11 a.m. with new friends. Nursery care is available all summer. Meeting in the historic chapel reminds us that the church bell once gave early settlers a reason to leave their rugged toil for an hour or two. After the 1857 opening, H.M. Stewart had to resign in ill health from the three-parish circuit of King, Oak Ridges and Aurora, and in 1861, James McCollum came from Trinity College, Dublin. He probably felt privileged the following year when his three parishes built him a $3,000 rectory in Aurora, with King contributing $700 from the few families on the membership roll. Now, as we remember Canada's 140th birthday, it is amazing to think that already in 1867, Confederation year, the wardens made the decision for King to have a weekly service. And, despite almost impossible, miry roads, members slogged through the mud, carrying their boots, so they would not miss a single service in that memorable year. A big thank you is extended to volunteers who have helped paint the church, and to the brave painter standing this week on the scaffold doing the choir loft ceiling. During the connection of the "big pipe," the water was turned off, but should now be in place for Sunday. If you haven't seen all the smaller organ pipes and bases laid out, do drop in. We'll welcome the community to a celebratory dedication of the renovated organ in memory of Charles and Janet Burns Sept. 30.
