Parish Treasurers and Wardens
Parishes are reminded that the “Registered Charity Information Return” T3010B E (09) has to be filed with CRA , by June 30th. While this is not news to most Parishes-the form has been changed slightly. There is help available-Ted Johnson (Diocesan Volunteer-with many Committees/ Professional Accountant) has come forward to offer assistance to Parishes that require help with completing the Form.
Ted will be back in HRM, the first week of June and will gladly assist you with completing the form correctly. If you would send your requests to Peter Flemming at the Diocese, he will discuss and set up a help schedule with Ted.
Linked here is the latest The Balancing Act newsletter from Shepell·fgi, our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider. The Balancing Act is a monthly newsletter designed to offer you helpful tips and tools for balancing your everyday work and family demands.
In this edition: "When It's Time to Step In: Convincing Older Parents to Get Extra Support".
As your parents begin to age and start showing signs of trouble caring for themselves, convincing mom or dad to accept help can be frustrating and emotionally draining. This edition of The Balancing Act provides tips and tools to help you tactfully raise the idea of outside support and get your parents on-board to accept the care they need. In doing so, you'll get your parents the assistance they need to maximize their quality of life and, at the same time, minimize your own worries.
If you have a discrepancy with information posted in the checklist, please contact Janice Roby or Jan Connors at the Synod Office.
DIOCESAN ARCHIVES -- The Synod office is planning to move from the Anglican Diocesan Centre to a temporary facility in early July. The Archives is now in the process of gradually and safely moving the bulk of its collection to a nearby temporary storage facility where we will replicate the arrangement for easy retrieval. This facility is within walking distance, so we will still have access to these records at any time. Retrieving information from records that are offsite may be a few days slower during the time that we occupy a temporary office space. After that, we hope to bring the entire archives holdings back together in one place within the new Synod Office building complex ("Phase II").
HOWEVER, we plan to keep "ON-SITE" in the temporary office, continuously handy to the Archivist for enquiries, the following most frequently accessed record groups:
In addition, of course, we will have our catalogue finding aid of the whole collection in hard copy AND searchable database form in the office as usual, which will help to speed up searches for any part of our holdings, wherever they are stored. For regular parish business and for those who are engaged in long-term research in the parishes, we can assure you that you will still have access to your records, and we are confident that regular Archives' services will not change significantly while the Diocesan Property Redevelopment is in progress over the next few years. -- The Diocesan Archives Committee.

MARRIAGE PREPARATION:
This course is primarily aimed at premarriage couples, though all couples and singles of any age can benefit greatly from learning more about their personality type. In my psychotherapy practice, I usually find when working with couples that we spend quite a lot of time talking about their personality types and how they are naturally different and the same. Although most of the people who take Enriching Relationships are premarriage couples, experience tells me that it can greatly benefit everyone.

A prayer for General Synod
Loving and Gracious God,
you call us ever to new life in Jesus your Son.
As we reach out to feel your winds stirring in our lives,
be with all members of your beloved Church
as we prepare for General Synod in Halifax in June.
Grant us a spirit of generosity and excitement
as we prepare to gather together under your
gentle leadership, for yours is the course our souls
are charting, and we glorify you through your Son,
in the power of the Spirit, now and always.
Amen.
from the General Synod Times.
