Many people have picked up their 2026 Offering Envelopes.  There are still a few to be picked up, so if you didn't get yours yet, they are waiting for you. 

It has come to my attention that some people have received a different envelope number from previous years.  This does not affect our accounting or tax receipts in any way. In 2026, please make sure to use your new 2026 envelopes/number only. 

If you have any questions, please, ask Susan Evans or email her at susan.dunbar55@gmail.com.

Parish Council will meet in the Parish Hall at 4:15 pm for its regular monthly meeting.

Parish Council meetings are open meetings and members of the congregation are welcome to attend.

Approved Minutes of previous Parish Council meetings are available at the Parish Office, upon request.

Plan to join us on Wednesday, December 17 at 7:00 p.m. for our Longest Night Service.  A time and space for quiet music, prayer and reflection.

This gathering is for any who find the holiday season challenging:

• for those who carry pain and loss juxtaposed with celebration;
• for those who are unsettled by bright lights, loud music, and over-activity;
•  for those who are exhausted by the festive and often hectic atmosphere;
• for those who find a compelled busyness has overshadowed a holy season
• or overwhelmed any simple joy it might bring.

For further information, please contact Rev. Sandra: sandrahounselldrover@gmail.com or 613-546-3386
