Bulletin
“We respectfully acknowledge the territory in which we gather as the traditional territory of the Beothuk and Mi’kmaq. We are conscious of the long and painful history of relations between the Christian church, colonial settlement practices and the harm caused to these lands and peoples. May we always seek to live with respect on this land as we search for collective healing and true reconciliation and honour this beautiful land together.“
It is with gratitude and thanksgiving we acknowledge the following Gifts and dedicate them to the Glory of God:
Local Fund
- In memory of Inez Penney. From Wayne and Madeline Rideout.
- In memory of Loved Ones. From Daphne Benson.
- In memory of our parents – Myrtle Rogers and Harold Rogers, and our aunt and uncle – Annie Boland and James Boland who were members of the congregation for many years. From Glenn Rogers, Sharon Connolly (Rogers) and Gail Vaughan (Rogers).
