This Sunday, Sept 11 is our welcome back Sunday as the fall church season begins once again. Sunday school is getting rolling again, and our wonderful choir returns as well. And to celebrate, after church, for those who would like to stay, we will have a barbecue lunch (outside on the grass on the shady east side of the church, weather permitting!) I have chosen for my theme this week “forgiveness” as I share with you my second last service before retirement.
Next Sunday, Sept 18 is my last service of ministry prior to retirement. We are calling it “Goodbye Garth Sunday” and I hope many of you will be in attendance to say our goodbyes together. Join in the laughter and the tears.
Sept 25 – Blessing of the Pets Sunday
Oct 2 – World Wide Communion Sunday
A Simple Goodbye gift for Garth and Orilla – Bring a favourite recipe or two!
Orilla and I are hoping to have more time for entertaining and cooking in our retirement in Ecuador. We are hoping that folks might have a favourite recipe or two, that they could write out, put your name on, and share with us. Marian Tannahill has offered to compile them. We are thinking that it will be a good way to remember you all – every time we use your recipe, we will see your name on top, and think of you, maybe even say a little prayer! So, bring us your recipes!
Hoping to see you,
yours in faith,
Rev. Garth Bogart
