A Voice from the Congregation

A monthly reflection on church life, faith, fellowship, and the ways we live out our calling together.

November 2026

Once more it’s necessary to reset our clocks to Standard Time on November 1st. At least, if you forget, you won’t be late for church, you’ll be an hour early and in that case just come on back to the kitchen and we will put you to work so it won’t be a wasted hour!

Our church is, as usual, a beehive of activity; take a look at the new playground equipment and give thanks to Lucas Hastey for choosing this project and to all the men who worked hard to make it happen. Now there's a new, updated, happy place for the children that will last for many years.

The beautiful instrument that is our pipe organ has now seen 80 years of giving us joyful music, so don’t miss out on the celebration on Nov 8th.

There is an unmistakable sound in the air, sewing machines humming, crochet needles clicking and the laser focus of our talented crafters getting ready for the Nov 14th Bazaar. Get a jump on purchasing Christmas gifts and stay for a ‘made with love’ lunch.

We all know we are living in a troubling time in history but remember God knows everything and is with us always. An uplifting thought that may nudge you into a more promising frame of mind is “Each day comes bearing its gifts. It’s up to you to untie the ribbon.”
