2. WEDNESDAY MORNING COFFEE :

Every Wednesday 10 am. Come and catch up on the news, be a taste tester of the baking and have many laughs. Everyone is welcome.

3. THIS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 30 , as we move forward from Middlesex Presbytery and into the Antler River Watershed Region, please continue to intentionally pray for the well-being, compassion, strength and joy of our lay and ordered ministers and congregations. Thank you for taking part in this prayer ministry. Thank you also to Rev. Dr. Anne Beattie-Stokes, who got us started on this Prayer Cycle in January 2014. That's 5 years ago, so it should be a habit by now!

4. It's time for that extra donation to the MISSION & SERVICE FUND. It will continue to support global partners, social justice initiatives, community ministries, chaplaincies, theological schools, education centres, Indigenous church initiatives for healing and justice, faith formation programs, communities of faith in remote locations or in transition and innovation through the newly launched Embracing the Spirit. THANK YOU for your gifts. Continue to read the Minute for Mission stories which help you become more personal to the receivers of your gifts. Our gifts make a better world possible and bring hope for the future. Merry Christmas Everyone.

6. OFFERING ENVELOPES FOR 2019 are ready for pick up at the back of the sanctuary. Please read the message from the Finance and Stewardship Committee inserted at the front of the envelope box. Thank you for your continued support.
