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!

Our Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive
Here we go with the launch of our Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive! Beginning September 20th and carrying through to Thanksgiving, we will be accepting donations of non-perishable food items. Please keep this important ministry in mind as you are heading out the door on Sunday morning. What may seem like a small donation from us can make a significant difference for those struggling to make ends meet.
Our Kraft dinner lunch ministry will be starting up again this Thursday, Sept 10. 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.
Sunday School time will be returning next Sunday, Sept 13. We are excited to hear about everyone’s summer adventures!
Music Guest – September 6th.
Thank you to Henry Dean for sharing his gifts of music with us this morning. Henry Dean is a Grade 10 student at Three Oaks Senior High. He’s been playing piano for seven years, and he has been learning the organ for six months. He’s earned St. Dunstan’s Pipe Organ Scholarship and will be taking lessons under Music Director Leo Marchildon this fall.”
SPC CONNECTION CORNER Over the past few weeks, we have been engaging in some social time after our worship service. Folks have been connecting with one another, acquainting and reacquainting, sharing stores and have engaging conversations while enjoying some refreshments. It’s been a great way to check in with our church family and make everyone feel welcome. If you are interested in supporting this ministry, we are welcoming people to assist with providing refreshments, setting up the corner and tidying up afterwards. We invite you to sign up on the sheet in the lobby or check with one of the organizers serving there. Many thanks to everyone!
By receiving peoples’ gifts each week, worshipers are given an opportunity to contribute to the ministry that Christ does in and through our church family. We are able to accept etransfers for general offering or for any event we hold.
Etransfers may be sent to summersidepresbyterian@gmail.com which is set up for auto deposit. Please add a message in the note section of the transfer to indicate your name and what the amount is for. All donations will be added to your annual givings receipt.
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
