Our Clerk of Session, Rob Hodgson, has the very important (and sometimes difficult) job of making sure that communications always flow as best as they can in the life of the congregation. He latest initiative to keep everyone informed is to create and maintain a blog for session news and information.
You can find his blog at the following link:

Thank you Food Basics!
A BIG shout out to Food Basics.

Won't you please help us? Pictured below is a sample of what will be contained in a woman's pack. If you could contribute one of these bags (and perhaps a toonie to help with the cost of the nice bags) it would be very much appreciated.

A Day in the Life, November 2015
This song, adapted from the Beatles' classic, was performed this past Sunday by Corey Cotter Linforth. Thank you to Corey for sharing your passion for a better world with us:
I heard the news today, oh boy
About a city torn apart again
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I've heard this song before
They shot them inside Bataclan
They didn't notice that the times have changed
A crowd of people opened doors
Faces never seen before
Everybody is so sure that we should go to war
I read the news today, oh boy
Beirut reeling from the acts of war
A crowd of people turned away
It didn't stir our hearts
They don't look like us
They'd love to make us see
Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs to get some air
Somebody spoke and I couldn't breath
Ahhh....
I saw the news today, oh boy
A child face down in the sand
And though he was so very small
We have to count them all
Now we know we don't have enough to share
“We'd love to take you in, but...”
