Church Membership: Are you thinking about taking the next step in your journey of faith? Have you ever considered making a public profession of your faith by officially joining the church? In a day-and-age when people are becoming less and less willing to officially join things (political parties, social clubs, etc.), joining the church has certainly become a counter-cultural statement – to clearly say “This is where I belong and this is what I believe.” If you are curious about what this might look like, please speak with Rev Brad to discuss with you both what it means and what it entails!

So… What’s a Presbyterian, Anyway?
Two evenings for the curious, the questioning, & the just-plain confused. Ever wondered what makes Presbyterians Presbyterian? Why do we do things the way we do? What do we believe? And what does it actually mean to belong to a church?
Join us on November 16th & 23rd (7 pm) here at the church for two relaxed, informal evenings of conversation and discussion as we explore faith, church, and belonging. Along the way we will cover the Presbyterian tradition, the Christian faith, and life together at Summerside Presbyterian Church. Whether you’re relatively new to SPC, have been attending for years, are thinking about becoming a member, or are simply curious, you’re welcome! No tests. No homework. No pressure. And absolutely no obligation to join! Just good conversation, an opportunity to ask questions, and perhaps a chance to discover something new about the church we share.
You are invited Saturday, Nov 21 at 4:30, here at SPC, to our 15th Anniversary of our new building, marking 15 years of faith, fellowship and community. Bring along Food & Memories to Share! We will have a brief service followed by a Potluck. Please bring your favorite main dish, as dessert will be provided. See you there!

Our Kraft dinner lunch ministry started 0n Thursday, Sept 17. We look forward to serving delicious KD to the students of Three Oaks every Thursday along with rolls, apples and yummy cookies. We are always thankful for all the donations we receive. If you can assist with baking some cookies, the students would greatly appreciate it.
SPC CONNECTION CORNER Coffee Needs You!
Every Sunday after worship, our church family gathers for an important theological practice: coffee and conversation! But coffee doesn’t magically appear (we’ve checked). We need volunteers to help put the coffee on and tidy up afterward. There’s a sign-up sheet waiting for you! Never made the coffee before? No problem! We’re more than happy to show you the ropes. It’s easy, it’s a great way to help out, and you might even earn the eternal gratitude of the caffeine-dependent among us. Sign up today and help keep the coffee – and the fellowship – flowing!
Communication Team Info
At our annual potato bake, there was a conversation with Callie Long regarding our webpage. Callie Long, Ph.D. is the Associate Secretary for Communications with The Presbyterian Church in Canada who happened to visit our church last spring. That was the beginning! Under her leadership & guidance we are now updating the webpage to be a more useful tool for our SPC family and our community. Hoping to complete the webpage by December 1st.
Enhancements:
1. Events Calendar to keep you in the “know”
2. Gallery of Photos to showcase our people & events
3. Live Stream Services to be able to watch our services if you are on the go
4. Giving Page & Memorials to enable you to donate as you wish
Along with the webpage, we will be exploring other ways to enhance our communications:
1. Include more announcements in the weekly bulletin.
2. Email postcards to remind members of upcoming events.
3. QR codes placed in the pews will feature a welcome video and information about us for visitors.
4. There will be a second QR code that will enable donations by members or visitors.
5. Enhance the front entrance- perhaps a moveable information board.
We welcome your suggestions!
Please reach out to one of our team members; Wendy Gallant, Cheri MacKenzie, Debbie Richard, Nancy Harvey and Rev Brad Blaikie.
Have you signed up to receive emails from the church? It’s a quick and easy way to stay connected with your church family! Speak to Rev. Brad or our church administrator Cheri for more information
