We welcome Kyle Dore to our pulpit today.
Aubrey is preaching at an anniversary service in Hamilton.
On behalf of the Christian Education Committee, we would like to extend a thank you to everyone who made the Harvest Supper/Autumn Fair a huge success! Eighty people attended the event. A special thank you to those who donated money towards the purchase of meat, those who worked in the kitchen and helped with decorating, set up and clean up, those who baked pies, brought salads and donated items for sale at the market cart. And a big thank you to the people that attended the event. The event raised $758. This money will augment the Children/Youth Ministry budget. Central is truly blessed by your support.
