Prayers - For Tintern's prayer list, check out our website www.tinternchurchofchrist.ca. The "Prayer Hub" button (top right corner or click here) is where you will find our list of prayers. You can also add prayers.

Reminder - It's that season. With all the rain we have had over the past few weeks the ground is saturated, including the parking lot. Please wipe your feet off on the mats at the entry doors. Parents, please remind your children to do that too. Thank you.

Teacher Needs - We need a teacher in TRUTH for May. If you are able to help, see Megan. We have curriculum you can use.

Young Adult Pizza & Games Night - This Friday (April 5) young Adults are invited to Roger and Catherine Perry's home for pizza and games at 6:30pm. Bring your favourite toppings as we will be making pizzas.

Kids Coin Collection - This Sunday is our coin collection. Our kids are going to help collect the money for the kids we are sponsoring. We are sponsoring two children through Christian Relief Fund - Dulce Velasquez (from Guatemala) and Ambar Gonzales (from Honduras) and also CityKidz in Hamilton. You can e-transfer money to tinternpayables@gmail.com, in the message box be sure to let us know that the funds are for the Kids Collection.

Celebration of Spring - Our Celebration of Spring Potluck is this coming Sunday April 7. If you would like assistance getting your food items out of your car, stop at the first entrance and there will be people there to help you out. Should you have any questions, please email Bethany Wirkkunen at bwirkkunen@yahoo.ca or Margaret office@tinternchurchofchrist.ca.

Great Lakes Christian High School - We have an exciting opportunity to join our team at Great Lakes Christian High School as a Science Teacher. Attached is the advertisement for the open position. We believe that finding the right candidate for this role is crucial, and your support in reaching potential applicants within your community is invaluable to us. Should you have any questions about the advertisement or the position itself, please don't hesitate to contact us at careers@glchs.ca.

Eclipse Watching - On Monday Apr 8th we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a solar eclipse right here in our backyard (weather permitting). The event begins shortly after 2pm on Mon Apr 8th with totality beginning at about 3:12pm and lasting for 2 and a half minutes.

If the skies are going to be clear we invite you to join us here at the church building any time after 1pm to watch it together. We'll do a quick eclipse primer (with some cool pictures on the video screen) before heading outside. Bring eclipse glasses if you have them. We will be building a cardboard box viewer and testing it out as we await the big event.

If the skies are cloudy we won't have anything happening here at the building (and I will be frantically driving East or West to try to get to a place where I can see it. After seeing one in 2017, I'm an eclipse fanatic now)

If you have any questions contact Noel for details and pray for clear skies!

April Friday Night Connect - Join us on Friday, April 19 for Friday Night Connect, held at River's Edge Haven of Hope (1 Haldimand County Rd 17, Dunnville, ON N1A 2W4) from 7:00-9:00pm. We will get a tour of the facility and have a campfire. There will be s'mores! Please wear closed-toed shoes as they will not allow you to tour the facility without them. There is some outdoor seating for the campfire, but you may want to bring a lawn chair just in case! If you have questions, please see Megan, Kathy Whitfield, or Sandy. Thank you to Sandy and Kathy for hosting.

Service Sunday - Welland Food Bank - Bethany W & Catherine M are collecting donations to help cover the expenses of the turkey dinner they are preparing. If you would like to donate please see Bethany, Catherine or Margaret.

Thank You - Thank you so much for all the cards, calls, visits, meals and prayers for us since Feb 26th. Merv is doing well, almost finished his blood thinners. Since he didn’t have a DVT, there’s no other treatment for him at this point. I’m nearly to the end of the six weeks with my left arm in a cast. I’m scheduled to have the cast removed on Monday. Praying all is well and some physio will get everything moving again. So grateful for our Tintern family, Anna & Merv
