This is a special service at which those recently departed are listed and honoured with the lighting of a candle.

Because absolutely no mainstream media is reporting on this issue it is likely very difficult for many of you to know that there is what an incredibly huge  situation happening in North Dakota right now regarding the use of sacred space of the indigenous people for the building of a large underground pipeline. The United Nations is involved and there are reports of many injustices being done against indigenous people.

There is much to say about this but I too am learning as I go so I refer you to some helpful articles below.

Please know that a call out to clergy from all denominations was made by a priest in the Episcopal Church in the US (that is what the Anglican church is called in the States) and that over 400 clergy have responded to the call and will be travelling to Standing Rock today and tomorrow for a peaceful witness event on November 4th. Please keep them in your prayers.

I encourage you to learn about and pray for this situation.

Here are some articles:

Why Police from 7 Different States Invaded Standing Rock

UN Observers monitoring abuses at Standing Rock

This video highlights the ministries that we provide financial (and non-financial support for). How much do you know about these organizations that are part of our broader church? Is there a way that we should learn more?

We are in the final preparation for the Christmas Craft Sale on November 19 and we need a little help.

1.  Secret Santa Shop
We need items for the Secret Santa Shop.  This is a kids only zone where they can shop and wrap presents for mom & dad.  Volunteers help with the wrapping.  We are looking for new and gently used items:  jewelry, books, coffee and tea cups, new candles, new soaps, decorative gift ware, etc., etc.   Don't forget about Dad - books, fishing stuff, ties, etc.   Purses and wallets were a hit last year.   Mom and Dad will be opening these gifts on Christmas morning so we want our young shoppers to be proud.   Get your friends and colleagues involved!!  It's amazing what gems we have hidden in our cupboards and drawers.

WE NEED THE DONATIONS BY SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12.  Let me know when you have a donation and I'll arrange for a pickup.  

2.  Bake Table
The day of the sale (SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19) we are looking for the following:  chili, soup and baked goods.  Last year our lunch was a hit!!  Baked goods should be wrapped in small packages ready to be sold (eg. cookies and squares 6 per pack).

Please contact Pam (number above) directly if you can help out!
