Living Rock Food Donations
|
Next week
we are collecting food for the Living Rock. Below is an excerpt of what their food bank does:
Living Rock Food Bank is the only youth focused food bank in all of Hamilton and is the 1st point of contact for many youth and their families. As part of the mission of the food bank, not only are the needs of youth met surrounding food and clothing, connections are also made to other Living Rock and community services, such as educational, recreational, informational, social and employment programs. These programs address poverty by reducing barriers and helping youth to realize and recognize their strengths, increase social supports and make connections with needed resources. This entry point is often the beginning of forming trusting relationships for youth with members of the food bank team that leads to building foundations to help youth-at-risk securely grow.
Please consider this valuable ministry while you shop for groceries this week.

As Thanksgiving approaches, we realize that we have so much for which to be thankful. Personally, as a congregation, as a community, as a country....our lives are rich and full and we should be giving thanks. One of the ways to do that is through our special Thanksgiving offering. On Thanksgiving Sunday, offering plates will be passed to receive your special offerings. Envelopes will be included in the bulletin on October 6 for you to bring back on Sunday, October 13. They will also be available in the pews on Thanksgiving Sunday.

Congregation-Wide Learning Event: 30 Days to Understanding the Bible - Unlock the Scriptures in 15 Minutes a Day
|
During the month of October, we're going to embark together on an introductory tour of scripture, using the resource 30 Days to Understanding the Bible by Max Anders.
No complicated reading plan - just a bird's eye view of the whole biblical landscape.
Easy-peasy, a few minutes a day, a few steps at a time.
Since the Bible is the primary resource for our faith, we encourage everyone to participate!
The cost of the book is $25, but if this is a barrier for you, please let us know. We will joyfully provide a copy to you.
BOOKS NOW AVAILABLE!
Starting this Sunday, the book for our 30 day exploration of the Bible will be available in the foyer. Please sign up when you take a copy. Payment will be collected beginning September 29th or may be dropped off at the church office.
We have 20 copies available, but if we run out we will order more. You can also order the book yourself from Amazon or Indigo - be sure to get the yellow-covered 30th Anniversary Edition. Also available in e-book format.
How to Super-Size your Experience:
- Join a discussion group with Judy & Kevin
- Follow our Facebook posts (If you are not in our Members and Friends group, contact Richard Hamilton via Facebook for an invitation to join or sign up for an invite in the foyer)
- Sign up for daily email reflections
