| The SPIRIT & WORSHIP GROUP will meet on Tuesday, September 15th, 7:00 p.m. This group meets occasionally to envision and plan our worship activities and events that enhance our spiritual walk with God including our regular Sunday services. Everyone is invited to attend these meetings without commitment to attending all the meetings. Our September meeting will focus on activities up to and including Christmas. A January meeting will focus on activities up to Easter 2016. Come out and be a part of the planning of our worship and our spiritual growth. For a more detailed description of what this group does please speak to Rev. Sinclair. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN OUR HISTORY? Gale Presbyterian Church has a good collection of archival and historical documents that need to be sorted and preserved. Do you have a passion for history and preservation? We are looking for a team of 2 or 3 people to explore our archival material and to ensure the right material is kept for posterity. Can you help? Please talk to our office and get us started.A big Thank You from Gale’s Life and Mission team to everyone that helped with the success of our Jam making. The Life and Mission team formed the sweet partnership with Woolwich Community Services as a way to provide a sweet treat for some families and also to teach the art of making jam. The effort ended in 130 jars of strawberry jam. If you purchased jam, we would appreciate it if you would return your empty jars so that we can use them again in the future. |
The Men’s Breakfast Group will be hosting another FREE STORE on Saturday, September 12 from 12 to 3:00 p.m. Please bring your gently used clothing for all ages along with bedding for this event to the church.
