Psalm 13
How
long, O Lord? will you forget me for ever? how long will you hide your
face from me?
How
long shall I have perplexity in my mind, and grief in my heart, day
after day? how long shall my enemy triumph over
me?
Look
upon me and answer me, O Lord my God; give light to my eyes, lest I
sleep in death;
Lest
my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” and my foes rejoice that I
have fallen.
But
I put my trust in your mercy;
my heart is joyful because of your saving
help.
I
will sing to the Lord, for he has dealt with me richly; I will praise the name of the
Lord Most High.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world
without end. Amen.

Goodbye to our organist: We are sad to announce that our organist Paul Hutten has
accepted a position as Music Director with King’s Presbyterian Church in
New Minas, effective September 1st. We have valued Paul’s commitment to
our choir and the Acadia Music students who have become part of our
choir, thanks to his efforts. We have also appreciated Paul’s excellence
as a musician. We have been stretched, challenged and enlivened by his
musical leadership among us. We pray God’s blessing on Paul, his family
and the congregation of King’s Presbyterian as they prepare for this
transition in their lives. We will make plans for an appropriate way to
express our thanks to Paul later in the summer.

you need to do is wear appropriate clothing for working on a build site,
and bring a smile, some water or drink. We even have a BBQ set up for
lunch. Work days start at 9am and go to around 3 or 4pm. If you would

judy.rafuse@hotmail.com . Please give her a week's notice. We will at
least need 8-10 volunteers per day.

will be important to get these into the hands of families with children
and youth so that everyone will be registered in time. If you can help
by making cookies, let Sandra know. They are always enjoyed by staff and
campers alike!
