Sunday, August 27th – Thirteenth Sunday of Pentecost
This Sunday, we will be led in worship by Rev. Larry Wright. Larry will also lead us in the sacrament of communion.
Larry will be discussing “seeing things differently” in his message. The Time for all Ages is called “But you didn’t say …”.
The scripture reading is:
FOOD BANK APPEAL – in order to help the people displaced by the wild fires, we are appealing for donations of non-perishable food items which we will then take to the Food Bank. You can bring your items to the church on Sunday and during office hours. If you prefer, you can use the “donate now” button on the Food Banks’ web page to make a monetary donation.
SUNDAY SCHOOL - Sep 17th will be our Welcome Back Sunday. There will be a program for the children and an opportunity to register your children for Sunday School. We continue to look for adults who would like to teach or help with Sunday School. Please talk to Sheila H if you are interested.
APPLES, APPLES, APPLES - the church has an abundance of apples just waiting to be picked. There are crabs for jelly and others suitable for pies or eating (may be a bit tart yet). Everyone is welcome to come help themselves!
CRABAPPLE JELLY – made from Spirit West crabapples! Jars will be available at the back of the sanctuary. Free will donation. Thanks to Margery W for once again making this fundraiser possible for us!

EVENTS Happening in the CHURCH – August 28-Sep 2
SPIRIT WEST PRAYER CHAIN
Prayer is important. We know that people face challenges and difficulties and we cannot forget them. Our Prayer Chain continues to be active. If you have a prayer request, please send it to [email protected]. These requests will be shared regularly with the prayer chain and may form part of the Prayers of the People in our Sunday Worship.
Please remember to have people removed from the prayer chain if the prayers are no longer needed.
YOUR BOTTLES FOR THE CHURCH
You may have bottles piling up for recycling. You can bring them to the church (or you can call for pick up). If you want to bring your bottles (and any other recyclable beverage containers) in during our office hours and put them directly in the Bottle Shed (by the garage), give us a call, and we can have the shed open for you. All money raised from the return of bottles goes towards paying down the principal and interest on our mortgage.
