]]> On April 12th, 2025 a celebration of Rev’d Terry Rose’s eleven-year ministry in the Parish of Cow Head, and also his retirement as an active priest, was honoured with a celebration. Members from the churches served by Rev’d Terry were represented: St. Paul’s, Parsons Pond, Daniel’s Harbour, Portland Creek, Bellburns, and Cow Head. Friendly banter filled the church hall in Cow Head as worshipers filled plates with assorted dishes while enjoying a delicious supper. A lot of mingling occurred during the evening as folks from various churches sat with each other, renewing ties and sharing incidents when Rev’d Terry had been so helpful in good times and during bereavements. Rev’d Terry’s wife, Marie, was by his side whenever she could be, serving the Holy Eucharist, singing in the choir, doing so many helpful things over the years—and isn’t she a marvellous cook! Ruth Payne, parish treasurer, also retired that night from her position of many years. Gifts were presented and short speeches made, many of them quite emotional. Rev’d Terry and Deacon Nora Shears had shared this ministry, and Nora will continue as deacon in charge.

]]> Dinner was ready—well, almost. On October 14th, tables for the annual Harvest Thanksgiving sale at the Anglican Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Cow Head were laden with all sorts of donated vegetables and fruits, many of which had been grown in gardens of local church members. Just looking at the new potatoes, carrots, cabbages, turnips, and zucchini whet one’s appetite. Purple plums from backyard trees, cranberries picked from area marshes, and bottled moose meat were readily available. Then there were baked treats, such as muffins and cookies, and a large cake. There were skillfully made crafts included woollen mittens and socks, and autumn artwork too; the list goes on! A big “thank you” to all who donated items and to those who bought them, for this heartfelt community gathering.
