These Are A Few of My Favourite Folks! A Song to Thank You for Being Volunteers in the Parish of Horton Bell ringers, choristers, readers and greeters Brass cleaners, floor-sweepers, wardens and treat-ers Those reading announcements who offer a joke These are a few of my favourite folks Committee members whose meetings seem endless Pastoral visitors greeting the friendless Primate’s Fund promoters and those offering a lift These are parishioners using their gifts When the pipes leak, when the floor squeaks And we’re feeling distressed I simply remember our dedicated helpers And I can relax…and rest. ACW members and crafters and bakers Altar guild members and plum pudding makers Those who flip pancakes or prepare turkey plates These are the folks who are simply first-rate Eucharistic assistants and communion-takers Seamstresses, quilters, gown and linen makers Knitters, crocheters, artists of all kinds Each of these members is truly a find When the bills come, when the fans hum (too loud) When folks need meals on wheels Our amazing parishioners rise to the occasion And happier then…we feel Fund-raisers, card writers, fast minute-takers Food bank assistants, and shovellers, rakers Deacons and priests who sing, preach and preside These folks I never would ever deride Counters and treasurers and flower conveners Gardeners, musicians and carpenters, cleaners All who serve coffee and prepare the teas All who make parish life here such a breeze Through you God’s love is made clearer You are Christ’s hands and feet Please always remember how grateful we are For all that you do – you’re neat! This year National Volunteer Week was celebrated between April 21st and 27th. This annual campaign recognizes the many individual volunteers across Canada who dedicate themselves to improving their communities. Volunteers have a passion for getting involved. They take action to support the causes and organizations that matter to them. And they make an impact in our communities. This describes volunteers in the Parish of Horton. Thank you for all you do to make our parish, our community and the world a better place! Hi this is Emma where are you?
