Dear Friends,

We welcome Rev. Dr. Bob Smith to the pulpit this Sunday as I have been assigned to visit another congregation on behalf of the Presbytery of Pickering. During the fellowship hour, we will take a moment to celebrate with Rev. Gordon Beaton, who will be relocating to be closer to his family.

On Wednesday, October 30 from 7:30 to 8:00 PM, we will hold Listen and Listen, a quiet prayer and communion service at the church. The service is open to all who wish to deepen their awareness of God’s grace and cultivate a greater sense of peace. We live in a busy world, and we are often expected to stay busy. We constantly think, “What’s next? What do I need to buy next?” This quiet prayer and communion service aims to help us silence the demanding voices of the world. Come and deepen your prayers for peace.

—Rev. Chuck Moon
