ALL SAINTS, ALL "SOLES"

To celebrate All Saints Day November 6th, St. Paul's is asking for donations of NEW shoes or walking boots for men and women who gather in the Out of the Cold Shelter held in our basement. Bring the shoes and boots to the Sunday morning service ON NOVEMBER 6TH, please.

The Shelter re-opens for the winter on November 6th and runs Sunday/Wednesday nights. It also opens when the temperature drops below -10C. Guests are given a warm place to sleep overnight and food. St. Vincent de Paul organizes the volunteer team. If you can volunteer time and/or money for this initiative, please call Ron at 250-554-0098

REMEMBRANCE DINNER

Saturday, November 12th at 5:00 pm, join us in celebrating Armistice Day with a Lemon Chicken dinner, shared stories, songs and fellowship. Tickets available at the office, Tues. thru Friday 10 am to 1 pm. $12/adult; $5/child; $30/family. As this event sells out, there will be no tickets available for sale at the door. All tickets must be pre-booked!

SOUP FOR ALL

Oh those industrious Sunday School class participants! Under the supervision of coordinator Nancy, the class filled 75 containers with turkey/chicken/vegetable/noodle soup to share with our neighbours in need. A hearty meal packed with loving care and much enthusiasm. This evidence of selfless giving on the part of our next leaders gives this old adult much hope! Well done faithful servants.

HARVEST THANKSGIVING

Sunday, October 9th, St. Paul's celebrates Harvest Thanksgiving. There will be a display of produce on the altar, and a celebration of Baptism during the 10 am service.

Join with us for Sunday Worship as we enjoy the bounty of harvest and joy of life.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Summer holidays are over, and the Cathedral is preparing to celebrate the season of Harvest. Upcoming events during this period are:

SUNDAY SCHOOL & YOUTH GROUP

St. Paul's Cathedral has been soooo quiet, and we welcome the return of our vibrant congregation. A big part of that vibrancy is the return of our young people.

Sunday School will resume September 18th, with registration before the class. We welcome all little people to our classes.

St. Paul's and Hills of Peace youth gather every second week at St. Paul's beginning September 12th. Contact Melissa Green at St. Paul's for information.
