Dear Friends,
This Sunday, November 1st, All Souls Day, is of course the 'morning after' Halloween. It is also the Sunday the clocks 'fall back' one hour so enjoy that extra hour before coming to church. As part of our continued work on Food Security we have a multi-generational activity planned for the service and need all of you to bring your leftover and unwanted Halloween candy to church this Sunday. There will be bowls waiting for you in the narthex for you to dump it in when you arrive.
The rest of the schedule for November is in the side column below. Please note we are planning a soup lunch after church on Sunday, November 15th. We are looking for 8 volunteers to bring a pot or crock pot of soup. In making it please pay attention to how far the ingredients travel. How easy is it to buy and eat local? Last Sunday there was a picture in the bulletin illustrating how the ingredients for a can of stew might travel 22 500 km before landing in your kitchen. Surely we can do better than that. We also need volunteers for set up and clean up on the 15th. If you can help please sign up on the sheets on the narthex or send a quick reply to this email.
The other November celebration you won't want to miss is the party on Friday, November 27th at 7:30 pm to celebrate and dedicate our new Grand Piano. There will be a short recital, hors d'oeuvres and bubbly. Please invite friends, family and neighbours. We encourage you to wear your 'grandest' clothes. Whether that be your grandest jeans or your grandest ball gown is all up to you.
As we continue to look at reading the Bible as a spiritual practice please take a moment to read my article below about the daily office as a good way to enter into regular Bible reading.
With every blessing,
Anna Greenwood-Lee St. Laurence Anglican Church
