The Quyon Pastoral Charge is holding a Summer “FUN”-raiser through its Facebook page. The very generous donation of two wooden Adirondack chairs hand-made by Gordie Mohr inspired this fundraiser and, thanks to other wonderful donations from the community and church members, we have put together a really fun summer package for one lucky winner. Check out the “Quyon/Wesley United Church” Facebook page for more details.

On Thursday afternoon a tornado touched down on a section of Barrhaven, Ont. Several homes were badly damaged and one injury was reported. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who suffered damage and are now on the road to clean up and restoration
Our heartfelt sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with Nancy Wall of Chapeau, in the recent passing of her dearly loved husband Brian Bechamp.
We were saddened to hear of the passing of Thomas Keith Martin of Pembroke. He was the beloved husband of Elizabeth Martin (nee Warner). Keith and Liz were special friends to Mark’s late parents and family. He was very kind man and will be missed by many.
