BICENTENNIAL NEWS
Father John Uttley's anthem - "Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Anthem". Sunday May 13, the St Thomas Choral Acadaemy performed an anthem with the music having been composed by Father John in honour of St. Thomas' Bicentennial. When played it for us we found it very uplifting and glorious! For further info about it, you can read Father John's article in the May, June, July newsletter from Francine and Matthieu.
Bicentennial Celebration Luncheon – Everything is set for today’s event – June 3 at the Greek Banquet Hall/Urban Hall on Harder Drive. Lunch will be served promptly at 1 pm. It promises to be a fun time to celebrate our 200 years!

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CHILDREN & ADULTS
At the beginning of the new year, there is an opportunity for children and adults to join St. Thomas’ Choral Academy.
Potential choristers must willing to be challenged, whatever their level is (beginner, intermediate or advanced), and must have the discipline required to practise every day even if for only a few minutes. Learning music is similar to learning a language, and requires daily practice in order to improve at a decent speed.
Potential choristers must meet with the directors of music before joining the Choral Academy. They are always pleased to receive enquiries from potential members of the Junior & Senior Choirs.
To book an appointment or for more information, please contact them by email
ST. THOMAS' & ST. PAUL'S BICENTENNIAL COOKBOOKS!
The remaining Cookbooks are available for sale at $15 each on Sundays after the 10:30 service or in the Church Office.
UPDATE ON KITCHEN USER EDUCATION
It is a year since most people took their education session to become a kitchen supervisor. You will recall that this training is a requirement for all individuals or groups that need to use the kitchen. Over the year there have been some changes. We now have a new style of automatic coffee maker. There is a change in the location of the power switch for the gas stoves and a separate manual backup system of pull stations to activate the automatic fire suppression system over the stoves has been installed.
A considerable number of new small appliances and cookware has been added and much reorganization has taken place. Drawers and cupboards have been relabeled so it is worth having a refresher.
The Kitchen Manual has been updated and can be found as a download in the Resource section of this website. This should be read periodically by all users to keep updated. Any questions should be directed to the church kitchen management team. This is important for insurance purposes.
Regular education sessions for those requiring supervisor training or those wishing an update will be held as needed. These will take place on the second Sunday of the month starting at 12 noon, shortly after the 10:30 service, and the second Friday of the month starting at 5:00 pm.
It only takes about half an hour, but it’s a vital part of our compliance with local health and safety regulations, now that we have been approved to cook and serve food to the general public.
Pre-registration is required. You can register for this training through the office by phoning 613 962-3636 or emailing office@stthomasbelleville.ca.
