David
Rawling has passed away. David was a critical part of
the EHP community for many years. He sang in the choir, and managed church
finances. He had great faith in EHP and was one of the elders who sought
to rejuvenate the church some years ago even as finances became precarious.
He lived to see the church rebound , and we are all in his debt for his
brave faith in EHP.
There will be a Funeral Service on Wednesday, May
7, 2008 at 3:00 pm in the church sanctuary for David. Please pass
this message onto anyone you know who may want to come.

EHP CHURCH COOKBOOK FUNDRAISER
Amanda McFarlan needs a little bit of help...
This year a team of skilled cooks and editors is going to produce an EHP
Church Cookbook fundraiser titled Entertaining Strangers and Angels
("Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers,” writes
the author to the Hebrews, “for by doing that some have entertained
angels without knowing it” (Hebrews 13:2).)
We are hoping that this book will be a treasured keepsake and snapshot
of life at our church.
The cookbook will have two components:
1. recipes (so send me your favourites) interspersed with
2. welcomes from our congregants (so if you've done the welcoming please
send me your welcome to include in the cookbook)
Send me any of your favourite recipes/welcomes that you have that you
are willing to share (electronically or on paper). I am looking for all
categories of food from appetizers to mains to desserts and anything in-between
(drinks, breads, meals for crowds etc.). Please credit any original source
of your recipe if you know what the original source was.
I would ask that you include your name and contact information with your
recipe and/or welcome. If you have not done a welcome but would like to
include welcoming words please do send them to me.
Recipes can be emailed to awhitemcf@yahoo.ca or left in the Church office
in the M and P cubby. For more information please contact: Amanda McFarlan
@ 416 538 0918 or awhitemcf@yahoo.ca
STEWARDSHIP
Stewards open their eyes to choices that
bring light, truth, and wholeness. If you do not use numbered envelopes
or PAR (the Pre-Authorized Remittance Program) to make your offerings
to the church and would like to do so, please speak to Joan Awrey or call
the office 9:00 am to 12:30 pm Monday-Friday. Either method ensures that
you will receive a tax receipt for the year 2008.
PENNIES FOR PAINT
The rotunda outside the office, the hallway
and entire area outside the Fellowship Room and entrance are looking great
as painting of baseboards, doors and trim continues. It’s “White
Down”. Please move furniture about carefully to keep it looking
great! Thanks to everyone who has contributed pennies. The Pennies for
Paint can is usually awaiting all donations near the office so that the
“sprucing up” can continue.
