October 23, 2026
Greetings Everyone;
It's a windy morning, the leaves are losing their tether to their branches, the "peak" of the fall colours has passed, and although the trees are still colourful, the fallen leaves are creating a cushion underfoot... the circle of the changing seasons. All will be well.

‘People’s Choice’ Closing Hymn Selection
Starting on October 25th, we are going to make each service's closing hymn a 'people's choice" selection. In preparation for this, we have placed a basket and some papers at the back of the church on the table, and if there is a hymn that you would like to hear in church, please put the hymn's number and name on the slip and place it in the basket. Each week, one slip will be drawn and that hymn will be used for the service the following week.
