Foodgrains Report
The 2020 crop of soybeans harvested at 16.66 M.T. This was the best yield of soybeans to date, surpassing the previous high of 16.36 M.T.
The Field Dedication was held differently this year with Gale ‘hosting’ it online. The cheque for $9,360.00 was sent to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank Dec. 4, 2020. To date, this project has raised $169,850.00
Bethany United, Bethel Mennonite and Gale Presbyterian churches partner in this project. Monies raised represent the sale of the grain and monetary donations. The committee is grateful for all the ‘hands on’ help to make this project successful.
I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO HEAR A SERMON ABOUT …
Every season Rev. Scott comes up with an engaging series of sermon and worship themes for Gale Presbyterian Church.
He’s out of ideas and needs your help.
For the season between Christmas and Lent he is asking you to choose the sermons.
Finish this sentence “I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO HEAR A SERMON ABOUT …” and email your sentence to Rev. Scott at scott.sinclair@galepresbyterian.com.
It can be based on scripture, on a social concern, on whatever is important to your life now.
Any ideas? Let him know and he’ll put together a sermon series for the winter.
MITTEN TREE
This is the last Sunday for collecting hats and mitts under our Christmas tree in the narthex.
