Newfoundland and Labrador Youth in Chorus presents A Concert of This Place at 3:00 pm on Sunday, March 16th, 2008 at Cochrane Street United Church. Shallaway’s Concert of This Place will be a treat for all who cherish the folk culture of Newfoundland and Labrador. Along with the children and youth ensembles of Shallaway celebrating with familiar songs of our heritage, there will be special guests with a range of styles, celebrating the talent of our province. Guests include Anita Best, The STEP Fiddlers and the Shallaway Fiddlers.      

 

The ACW will be having a bake sale next Sunday (Palm Sunday) after the Church service.  This is their lenten project and a portion of the proceeds will go to the ministry to the children at the school for the deaf.  Contributions of baked goods for the congregations would be very much appreciated

 

The Altar guild will be meeting next Saturday at 10:30 AM in the Church to make the Palm crosses.  This time of cross making is open to all Parishioners young and old, so why not come along and learn how to make these crosses.
