Christian influence on Canadas first prime minister: https://faithtoday.ca/Magazines/Sep-Oct/Sir-John-A-Lady-Agnes-Macdonald

It’s a second week in a row and we’re seeing “miracles” all around: healing, salvation, financial, and building. The other side of the church floor has now been torn up and the builders are working on levelling the floor. So, this week, we’re having “picnic church” inside again. I’m truly grateful to the builder for temporarily sealing up the floor, so we can use the building each Sunday. Some other good news is that our Church bell has arrived. Next week, the builder is going to install the bell. After the building has been consecrated, you’ll hear the call to worship every Sunday morning at 10am! Finally, to say that this week, St. John is going to give us real, practical advice of how to navigate life in the “Empire” without compromising our faith. Great reasons to celebrate together.

So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:

Laura Secord: More Than Just Chocolate

By Rev. Dr. Ed & Janice Hird

Many Canadians associate Laura Secord with delicious chocolates. No, she did not make her own chocolates. Rather Laura Secord Chocolates Company was founded in 1913 by Frank P. O’Connor in Toronto.  He named his chocolates after her because she was a celebrated Canadian war hero.
