Notes from May Session meeting:
Congregational Directory: Central has a directory of all the people who are part of our congregation. This information is not used for any purpose other than communicating about church life and is kept strictly confidential. Anyone who wishes a copy will be asked to sign a privacy statement to this effect.
Let's not get scammed: Recently a scam email supposedly from Aubrey went out to some people in the congregation. Please remember that any email from Aubrey would come from "Aubrey@cpcmail.ca". He would not send out an email asking for help in this way and he never signs his name as Pastor or Reverend Aubrey. We are going to host an anti-scam/anti-fraud seminar in the fall.
Applying for Grants: The Presbyterian Church in Canada has a number of grants which we can apply for. Grant writing is an art. We would love some help from anyone in the congregation who has experience writing grant proposals. If you can help, please speak to any elder.
New member class: If you have been thinking about becoming a member of Central Church, Aubrey will be leading a new member class. This will be an opportunity to learn about the Presbyterian Church and to have your questions answered. If you are interested, please let Aubrey or any elder know. The date for the class will be posted in the bulletin.
Kidzone classes: Starting in September, classes in Kidzone on Sunday morning will go up to Grade 8.
Search Team Update: The Search Team is busy considering potential candidates for Central. If you know of someone who might be a good fit to be our next minister, please contact our Interim Moderator, the Rev. Mark Richardson at revmsr@icloud.com. Please keep in mind that all candidates must be qualified to serve in the Presbyterian Church in Canada, which generally means a person from a Reformed church such as Presbyterian, United, Christian Reformed etc.
Occasional ride needed for our 101 year old member Alice Ryan so she can attend our Sunday services. She lives in Fairview Mennonite Home in Preston and so enjoys attending Central's service and the warm fellowship. Please contact the office or Denise at 519 658 5857/ denisemcclellan1@gmail.com
if you can help us out.
