Announcements
• Today is Thanksgiving Sunday! In Canada, Thanksgiving falls on the second Monday of October, and
we thank God for the harvest. True, we’ve already been enjoying fresh vegetables for some time, but
by the end of October, most of the crops are off for another year. Enjoy your turkey, but don’t forget
to thank God for everything!
• Session is reminded that we are meeting on Thursday at 7:00 in the church basement.
• We congratulate Tim and Margaret (Miller) Somerville who were married at Limehouse on Saturday,
October 8th. Blessings on your future together!
• We are continuing a series of messages based on the book of Job today. Job is an ancient attempt to
engage the question of why bad things happen to good people. Thus, it’s not a pleasant book by any
means, nor an easy one to read! If you decide to read through it and find yourself with questions,
please don’t hesitate to send them along to Rev. Steve! He would love to help you work through them.
• Do you have a hymn 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!
• We are still looking for a Treasurer and a Secretary to take over the positions being vacated by Bill &
Betty Anne Karn by the end of this year. If you are interested in either position, please speak to either
them or Rev. Steve about what the jobs entail. We are thankful for all their years of service in these
positions!
• We are also 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!).
• Pray also for:
o Farmers as they collect the harvest,
o Producers as they prepare to turn the harvest into other items on our grocery store shelves,
o Families as they gather to celebrate Thanksgiving,
o Those suffering with food insecurity in this time of prosperity
• Thanks, as always, to everyone for your continued support of the work and ministry of our
congregation! Please remember that you can also mail in your offering, or drop it off at Bill Karn’s
house.
