Volunteers still needed to fix up All Saints' You'll find All Saints' a friendly congregation, welcoming local and out-oftown visitors. Why not join us this Sunday (Aug. 26) in a service of Holy Eucharist at 8 or 10 a.m., stay for a glass of juice, and chat at 11 a.m. with new friends? Nursery care is available. The summer schedule continues through Labour Day Sunday (Sept. 2). Drop in to see the newly painted ceiling slopes of the choir loft that pick up the blue and aqua hues in the beautiful stained glass window of the Ascension. As September approaches in our 150th anniversary year, our history reminds us of Sept. 14, 1870, when the bishop of Toronto probably clopped all the way up muddy roads to All Saints' with horse and buggy. On that day, Alexander N. Bethune consecrated both All Saints' Church (the present small chapel), and the burial ground beside it. At the time, the church had a board and batten exterior. However, by raising $1,200 the following year, the church made renovations, and also added a durable brick exterior. Records show that in 1877, a 16 square-foot burial plot cost $12, and an 8-foot plot cost $7. Though weather has greatly eroded names on the tombstones over the years, some are still visible: Stokes, George Henry, Garden, Langstaff, Morison and Watson, Ash, Winter, Peel, Hall, Cameron, and Gillham. Although the cemetery ceased operations years ago, All Saints' currently has a walled Easter Garden, glowing with flowers, providing space to inter an urn of ashes next to the church. Thank you to everyone for painting in the foyer, narthex, and sanctuary, helping the church vibrate with new life. Work is beginning in the basement church hall, and volunteers will be warmly welcomed. The Food Bank is open this Saturday (Aug. 25) from 9 until 11 a.m. in the foyer of the church. All Saints' Anglican Church is at 12935 Keele St. in King City, a few doors south of King Road. The office is open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday this summer.

Nicola Skinner at (905) 833-5432 or St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church Submitted by Kathy Patterson Next week will be our last Church-in-the-Park Sunday Service for August. You are welcome to join us at 10:30 a.m. as we worship outside enjoying God's handiwork. Please bring your lawn chairs.
