On Sunday August 18 we have been invited to join other ANiC parishes at ISLAND LAKE CONSERVATION AREA in Orangeville for a Eucharist Service followed by a BBQ. Some of the other parishes that will be involved are Church of the Epiphany & St. Peter by the Park from Hamilton, Christ the Redeemer from Toronto, and The Way from Stayner.
People are asked to be at the park by 10:30 a.m. We will be carpooling to the event, so if you will require a ride please let either Anne McCausland or Joan Towarnicki know as soon as possible. There is an entrance fee to the conservation area: $22/car (up to 6 people); Adults $5; Children 6-12 $3; Seniors (60+) $3. Inside the park there is swimming and canoes can be rented. There is also fishing (catch & release) for which there is a fee.
Every family is asked to bring a ‘pot luck’ salad or dessert plus their own drinks (water, pop etc.). Hot dogs & hamburgers will be provided.
Please Note: For those unable to attend, Pastor Paul will be having a service in the office at 8 a.m. that morning.
DIRECTIONS to Island Lake Conservation Area:
673067 Hurontario St. S., Orangeville
Two of the main streets are Broadway and Highway 10. There is a set of traffic lights where these 2 streets meet and a Boston Pizza on the hill above that intersection. The street opposite Broadway and leading to the Boston Pizza is the one you want. Hurontario Street is the second street from that intersection and you go LEFT. It leads directly into the park.
Note: There will be an 8:00 a.m. service at St. Hilda’s as usual, but no 10:30 service.
