Announcements December 16, 2018

3. THIS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16th, we give thanks for the wealth of resources our Church has as a denomination, and we pray for those who give so freely of their time and talents. Thank you for taking part in this prayer ministry.

4. PASTORAL CARE - we have been very fortunate to benefit from the support of Rev. Dr. Art Hiley from March until the present. He has worked diligently with our church community, visiting those who cannot travel to Sunday services, the sick, the grieving and those in need of moral (and technical) support to maintain momentum in our church's life. Pastor Art, we extend our heartfelt thanks for helping us through this transition. Gabrielle and the Visioning Working Group will be working together to determine best practices for ongoing pastoral care.

5. THANK YOU to Marion Woods and Carol Reid for all the Christmas decorations in the Church. Thanks also to Ernie Reid, Bob MacMillan, and Wayne Coatsworth for assembling the Manger Scene outside.

6. ANOTHER COLLECTION OF POP CANS were recycled and $53.45 was turned over to the church. It can be pop cans, juice cans, washed meals on wheels foil containers and the pop tabs are turned over to the wheel chair program. Many thanks. Ernie
