Our church needs a handyperson! Do you know a handyperson that our church could  use?  Our building often needs small repairs.  We would like to find a person to be our main contact for general work when we cannot do the repairs ourselves.  This would be a paid position on a fee for service basis.  If you know someone who could fill the role, please contact the council-member-on-duty or leave a note with the church.  Thanks!

The BIG “key return” event! Do you have a key to any church doors? How about keys to the elevator?  If you are in possession of a church key that you no longer use, please turn it in and mark what the key is for.  You can place them in the mail slot for the Nobles (62).  Thanks!  (Some of our keys (elevator) cannot be copied due to their size/shape).

Support for the 2SLGBTQI+ Community: As you may have seen from the ELCIC News, Christian leaders from across Canada are being asked to sign a unity statement. Pastor Colin has joined numerous peers in signing this important statement.  Our parish expresses our full support and solidarity with the 2SLGBTQI+ Community, and denounce any acts of hatred towards the members of this community, or towards any human beings.  If you would like to know more about the statement, please click here.

Bishop’s Company Brunch: Bishop’s Company Event – we’ll be hosting a special brunch with the bishop on September 14 from 10 till Noon at Liuna Station in Hamilton for members. A letter went out to past members, and we’ll be sharing an invite for new members to join in the coming week. To become a member, you can visit this webpage.

Fall Bazaar: There will be a fall Bazaar this year! The date is yet to be decided but we wanted to let everyone have a chance to start with preparations. We will need volunteers. Do you do any summer canning, please consider putting aside some for sale at the bake table. If you make any crafts please dust off the knitting needles or sewing machines. There will be more details in the coming months. If you would like to help or need more information please speak to Rick Mt. Pleasant or Debi Clarke
