For those who cannot for one reason or another be present during this communal work of mercy, you can participate through your prayers, and if you are interested, please speak to Fr. Paul about offering food/or the cost of a meal in memorial of a loved one. If you'd like to stop by and grab a cup of coffee with Fr. Paul, by all means, please do!

Join us at 2 pm and help us decorate our parish in green –the colour of life, for the Holy Spirit.
Before making the trip to St. Silouan’s:

1. grab a garbage bag or basket and a pair of shears or scissors;
2. visit your backyard or a field or river trail or ravine;
3. respectfully harvest whatever greenery is available:
               grasses to spread on the floor;
               green vines (which grow as weeds) to wrap around icons or windowsills or other areas;
               green branches or blossoming branches;
               flowers are always welcome….as they complement the green;
               potted plants are also welcome.

4. Bring your greenery to the parish by 2 pm or shortly afterwards;, we’ll start decorating at about 2:30 together as a
community.

Kontakion — Tone 8
When the most High came down and confused the tongues, / He divided the nations; / But when he distributed the tongues of fire / He called all to unity. / Therefore, with one voice, we glorify the All-holy Spirit!
