The new church year really gets into high gear this week for as a congregation we have the opportunity to witness the commissioning of the Sunday School teachers and then following the church service there will be a BBQ in the parking lot, all part of the Rally Sunday celebrations.
Everyone is welcome to enjoy this time of fellowship while munching on a hamburgs, hot dogs and other goodies prepared for this yearly event which officially launches the church school year.
Sunday also marks the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and as such there will be a time of remembrance, as well as the singing of a special anniversary hymn, O God, Our Hearts were Shattered.
There is also a special service remembering the victims of terror around the world and honoring emergency services and first responders at MacNab Street Presbyterian Church Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. Rev. Harvey Self, moderator of the 135th General Assembly in 2009, and a former Canadian Forces Chaplain, will be the guest speaker for this occasion.
Sunday’s bulletin is full of announcements of upcoming events as the various groups get back to a regular meeting schedule, with such activities as the Bible Study group scheduled to meet Sept.15 at 2 p.m. in Reception Room B.
And everyone is reminded that the rummage sale is fast approaching, in fact will be held Sept. 17, with donations such as small appliances, kitchen items, linens, clean wearable clothing, toys, puzzles, paperback books, china, glassware, jewellery and small furniture being accepted. The drop off for such items begins Monday, while set up days are Thursday and Friday, when lots of volunteer help is needed.
