Announcements
· Food Bank Toonie Jar – We have realized that the Toonie Jar, by which we make donations to the local food banks, has not been being used this year due to COVID! If you wish to make a donation to the food banks through the church, please include it in your offering with a clear note regarding direction before the end of the year!
· We are still looking for an Organist / Pianist to lead music on Sundays – Kathleen Boose can do it, but we’d rather give someone else (such as a young piano student) the opportunity to play and gain some experience (not to mention earn a little money for their work!).
· Christmas Concerts in at Knox – Michael Kelly Cavan will be performing a Christmas concert at Knox this evening at 7:00 p.m. The Knox Choir, plus Haydn Evans & Friends, will present a concert of different Christmas music on Sunday, December 19th, also at 7:00 p.m. Mask-wearing and social distancing for those in the pews will be enforced at these concerts.
· Do you have a hymn or a Christmas carol that you’ve been wanting to hear or sing? Please submit such requests to Rev. Steve and he will slot it into the upcoming worship services!
· Christmas Eve will be celebrated on Friday, December 24th, at 5:00
· Congregational Meeting Results - Following worship worship, Ted Brown led in prayer before business items were discussed. Cathy Brown was nominated as Church Treasurer and Susan Cox was nominated as Church Secretary . Ray Denny presented the 2022 minister's stipend and allowance for 2022. Bill Karn presented and explained current Church finances and Insurance Coverage for 2022. Glenda Benton presented an update for Building Fund. A motion was made and carried that our congregation donate to our local food banks. (Thank you to everyone who came out for the meeting!)
· Pray also for:
o Those who are frantically trying to get their final preparations for Christmas in place,
o Those who are facing being cold, hungry, and alone in a season of lights and togetherness,
o Those who are trying to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and visit the “prisoners”,
o Those who are going to be in hospital or sick in bed over Christmas itself
· Thanks, as always, to everyone for your continued support of the work and ministry of our congregation!
