Planting day is almost
upon us! The gardeners
have been preparing the
flower beds at the Gar-
den and now we are
looking forward to do-
ing the planting on
Monday, June 1st, as
we do our best to Social
Distance!! We hope you are anticipating the
delight of the Garden's bright colors as much
as we are. The hanging pots are also com-
ing along nicely and will be hung a little
later in the month.
If you find yourself downtown and
can swing by Lucy's Flowers and Gifts,
Shirley will accept donations and we would
appreciate it if you could "Buy Us A Six-
Pack". It will help us bring the sunny cheer-
fulness to our Community that the bright
flowers bestow!
May Kreklewich, for your Wawanesa

HUNTER: When Dale passed away on
April 20th, we were flooded with over-
whelming support. Thank you for all the
kind words, stories, photos, phone calls,
cards, flowers, food, gift certificates and fi-
nancial contributions towards Dale‟s memo-
rial, to support his adopted grandson Korbyn.
A special thank you to Moray at Jamieson‟s
Funeral Services for your expertise and kind-
ness.
We sincerely appreciate all the love sent our
way. It has eased the pain of his sudden pass-
ing. Like you, we cherish the time we spent
with Dale and will forever hold him in our
hearts.
From Gord, Marlene, Kim, Kirby and
Korbyn, Lana and Drew, Tasha and family,
Teagan and family, Lew Dalman
and Esther and Byron Clark
“Thank you”
BROWN: I would like to extend my heartfelt
thanks to so many friends and neighbours
who called to see if I was doing all right and
to see if they could bring me anything.
Thanks also, to those who brought delicious
baking, and those who volunteered to clean
up my yard and cut down the huge limb that
was damaged in the big wind. It was all very
much appreciated, the way folks look after
one another during this strange and difficult
time.

In Memory of MAVIS CHAMBERS
April 12, 1943 - June 19, 2018
If roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for us.
Place them in Mavis‟s arms
and tell her they‟re from us.
Tell he we love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek,
and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy,
we do it every day.
But there‟s an ache within our hearts that
will never go away.

Marge & Henry Hanssen : We left Wawanesa in 2012 to live close to our children and 5 grandsons. We
live at a small lake, called Nakamun, one hour northwest of Edmonton. Our 2 sons live 35 and 60 minutes
away, so we see them often. Its fun in all seasons. We do miss the friendly folks at Wawanesa.

Wawanesa United Church All services are postponed for the
present time, in light of the COVID 19 outbreak.

Things have not changed a great deal
since last month other than we are enjoying
the warmer weather and the gradual easing of
the COVID-19 guidelines. Our United
Church continues to function effectively
thanks to the interest and assistance of the
Church Council, the congregation and the
community.
The „live‟ services on the Wawanesa
United Church Facebook page have done
wonders in bringing worship to our homes
each week. It is so special to be able to see
the inside of our church on Sunday mornings
as we are invited to listen to the wonderful
music and the spiritual messages. Heartfelt
thanks go out to Rev. Harvey and Shirley for
their inspiration, to Tannis and Maureen for
their wonderful music and to Kevin for his
camera skills.
And, of course, it‟s a special treat when
Brian & Dorothy Granger are able to add
their special music. Their Brandon Hills tal-
ent fills a void because we are unable to
broadcast from their church due to technical
difficulties. All are welcome to join in until
we are able to worship together sometime in
the future.
Join us on „Facebook‟ - Sunday, May
3lst for Pentecost - Sunday of the Holy Spirit
Special Music – extra singers to lead a lively
Pentecost Service. Hymns. „Names Day for
Kids‟. Rev. Harvey will be preaching. Joy-
ous Sunday - Birth of Christ‟s Church.
In the meantime, please carry on God‟s
work in the church by praying and by com-
municating with others in the congregation
and community. A cheerful phone call goes a
long way to ease the loneliness or pass the
time for someone experiencing the side
effects of these very difficult times.
Unfortunately, while we wait pa-
tiently for the lifting of the COVID-19 clo-
sures, the church continues to have bills to
pay. If you are currently on PAR, thank
you for your financial support. If not, there
are other options such as Interact e-

We welcome summer as the month of
June is the beginning of summer events.
For Manitoba, it was to be a year of celebra-
tion. So many extra events were planned to
celebrate the province of Manitoba, being
the fifth province of Canada. We as a
church, were looking forward to being part
of those celebrations in Treesbank. As all
those activities have been put on hold for a
year, they are postponed, not cancelled.
As a church, our weekly services had
to be adjusted. The gathering together was
postponed not cancelled. Through this time,
the need to connect with people, to visit
family, became heightened as we were told
by the government not to meet in groups. A
quick lesson on the technology to livestream
on Facebook, helped with continuing the
teaching time.
With the easing of restrictions and
having a congregation smaller than 50, we
are looking at being able to meet outdoors at
the church. Our series on the book of He-
brews finishes with the urging to be hospita-
ble and share with others. The people at the
time were going through hardships and
needed the encouragement to keep their
eyes open to the needs of the people around
them. It is surprising, when some will say
the Bible is outdated, but the value of look-
ing out for others, is as applicable today as it
was 2000 years ago. We have now experi-
enced the cries of many, across our country,
that have lacked attention. Our care homes
and seniors are one visible group in our
community that have felt the impact of be-
ing isolated.
We are beginning the reopening of
church slowly, with outdoor services,
Services inside the Church
postponed for present time.

weather dependant of course, and bring your
own lawn chair. The services will be at 10
am. We will do our best to monitor the 50
person limit and to have hand sanitizer and
cleaning protocols in place. Other events for
the church are still to be considered at this
time.

Things are changing and as we can go more

wash your hands and keep things clean. Lions
