Let’s welcome the Son with an Easter Sonrise service on the lawn here at Gale.
Easter morning, April 16th at 7:30. A short but meaningful tradition to welcome the Risen Christ.
Then we will gather for a great breakfast in the Fellowship Hall – Ham & eggs, Hot cross buns.
A free-will offering will be asked to cover the expenses of this meal.
Let’s decorate our church for Easter Sunday!
Purchase a potted flower to be placed in our sanctuary in “Honour”, “Memory” or “Celebration” of anyone or anything!
We will ask that sometime after the Easter Service you pick up the flower you ordered and enjoy it, plant it, or take to someone and you can brighten their day.
Please put your order and payment in the Church Office mail file or turn into the office by April 2nd.
There’s a special new book in the library! Author, Sharon Dow, has donated her new release to our library. It is a 31 day devotional, easy to read, and with each day is a beautiful picture that her husband, George, photographed.
The title: SHINING LIGHT

Rev. Sinclair will be taking inter-mission from April 17th to June 30th. Inter-mission is a practice of Presbyterian Church ministers where they regularly take an extended leave from all the responsibilities of their ministry for a length of time. He will be on pilgrimage in Spain. People can follow Rev. Sinclair’s pilgrimage on Facebook at www.facebook.com/alimpin.espana. If you send a friend request to this page, you will get regular updates on this Camino. During Rev. Sinclair’s inter-mission, Rev. Kees Vandermey will be assuming the preaching and pastoral care at Gale. This is at no expense to Gale Presbyterian Church.
