The parishes of St. James’, Rivers and Holy Trinity, Miniota welcomed Bishop William, the new bishop of the Brandon diocese, to the regular morning service on April 26. A service of holy communion was conducted by the bishop and assisted by our own Rev. Sally Carter.

The sacrament of holy baptism was celebrated when Amelia Mary Belcher was baptized by Bishop William. Amelia is the daughter of Chris and Sarah Belcher and the granddaughter of Sandra and the late Jim Frank; Sarah grew up in our church.

Following the service all enjoyed luncheon in the lower hall. It was a great opportunity to greet the new bishop and enjoy fellowship with members from Miniota. Included in the luncheon was a special baptism cake for Amelia and a cake in honour of the bishop’s birthday.
