Fall 2016 Worship and Pastoral Care: The Pastoral Charge Executive would like to announce that we have pulpit supply in place for the fall – though the Christmas season if necessary – provided by Rev. Jennifer Brown, from Petticodiac. This will provide some continuity for our worship while the Search Committee continues to work on our behalf to find new ministerial personnel for the charge. Rev. Nigel Weaver is our supervisory minister appointed by presbytery. Anyone with any questions or concerns can contact Jane Braedley or Marilyn Burrell for more information.
For any pastoral care needs for the rest of the year, please feel free to contact Rev Jean Ward – 902-694-4372 or a.jean.ward@gmail.com

Are you interested in how we can experience every aspect of our ministry lives as “ stewardship”?
Please join us for three evenings this fall for conversation with Laura Hunter, Maritime Conference Minister for Justice and Stewardship, on this very topic. There is a sign-up sheet on the Discernment Board.
Tuesdays, 7-8:15 pm on September 27th, October 4th, and October 11th
Informed by the book, “Holy Currencies”, this mind-shifting concept developed by Eric H. F. Law, examines 6 “currencies”, or blessings that are exchanged to build healthy and sustainable ministries in churches. How are the “blessings” flowing in our community of faith? How might they help us to live into new opportunities?
