	The Tri-Church outdoor service is Sunday, June 3 at 10:30 am. Iona is asked to bring sandwiches for the fellowship following the service. There will also be a basket set out to help defray the costs.

	Father Matthias Der will be leaving St Christopher's and the Tri-Church at the end of June to take up a new ministry at the Cathedral in Hong Kong. There will be a farewell dinner held on June 24, 2012, 6:00pm at Regal Chinese Cuisine and Banquet Hall (1571 Sandhurst Circle, Scarborough). Tickets are $32 ($10 for children) and are available from Jim Biggs until June 5. Hopefully we can have a good sized group attend from Iona.

	Seniors' Exercise Classes started in January 2012

	After a year of searching for leadership for a Seniors' Exercise Class, the Parish Nursing Ministry is thrilled to announce that the class started on Wed. Jan. 11, 2012! The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College has willingly undertaken leadership of the group and developed an excellent program suitable for participants with varied levels of mobility and other restrictions. Participants can do exercises either seated or standing to the level of their tolerance. The weekly class is open to members of the four congregations (Iona Presbyterian, St. Christopher's Anglican, St. Cyprian's Anglican, and Trinity Mandarin) who worship in the building and also to the community. We currently have close to 30 members in the class. Not only has this provided a valuable health promotion activity for the churches and community, but it also provides Clinic Interns (pre-graduate students) at CMCC with valuable experience working with the participants. Classes are planned and run by the interns and supervised by registered Chiropractors who are teaching faculty at the College. The program is definitely a win-win situation for all involved. Margaret Black, Parish Nurse, would like to express the participants' gratitude to Dr. Jarrod Goldin, DC, and his students, and to the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College for helping to make this dream a reality.

	Sunday, October 31, 2010 Sermon by Hansel Chen: Accept or Deny Iona is blessed this year to have Hansel Chen, a second year Knox College Student, as part of our church family. He is doing his field work 10 hours per week at Iona from September to April. Jim is his direct supervisor, working in conjunction with the staff at our seminary to ensure that Hansel has a wide experience of what ministry is all about. There is also a congregational advisory committee that works with Hansel. As well as his learning about ministry, we are finding it a real blessing to have him among us. Hansel is of Taiwanese background, but left there as a child and lived in Australia for sever years. His family eventually settled in Toronto where he went to high school. He attended the University of Waterloo, and now Knox College. He hopes to graduate from seminary in the spring of 2012. If anyone wants to have Hansel visit them, please call Jim Biggs, and we will make arrangements for this to happen as soon as possible. Please keep Hansel in your prayers as he continues his studies.
