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.
If you have a discrepancy with information posted in the checklist, please contact Janice Roby or Jan Connors at the Synod Office.

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.
