The Storyteller

Most of you will remember "Marilyn the Storyteller" who brought meaningful and fun messages to
"children's story time" at Westminster. Most of you will also know that this is a woman who has done 'so
much for so many for so long' in the church and the community as well. It is time to "give back"!

A tree carving, to be done by a local artist, is being commissioned in Marilyn's honour. It is to be called
"THE STORYTELLER" and will be located, when finished, in front of the Orangeville Public Library! It will
be carved in her likeness and will bear a plaque with her name, date, etc.

Marilyn is residing at the Avalon and is aware of and involved in the project. She is thrilled and loves the
chosen location. This will be a wonderful tribute to Marilyn. The project has given her something to look
forward to, and be excited about. We had quite a giggle when I asked her if she was up to "standing in
front of the Library telling stories for the next 500 years"!

If you would like to contribute financially to this project, please contact Anne Richardson at 519 941-4490
or email at jtrear@rogers.com

Thanks for your consideration. ...Anne Richardson.

Nidus Ecumenical Youth Festival, August 4th-6th, Kitchener. Alert your young people and check it out
at http://www.nidus2006.ca Karen Hamilton, General Secretary of the Canadian Council of Churches,
urges you to encourage your young people to take part in this great summer event. The Canadian
Council of Churches is the sponsor and there are a tremendous variety of religious traditions involved.
Fabulous musicians including Susan Aglukark will be there and, there will be an Aids/HIV social justice
focus. Organizers are hoping for 1500 folk. The United Church National Office is supporting this project.

What is the purpose of In-SPIRE-ation anyway? My hope is that it connects and links us together at
Westminster.

Blessings, Wayne
