Happy Thanksgiving
The Thanksgiving Newsletter is available for pick up – you can come any time this week and it will be alphabetical outside the church office OR it will be available again this Sunday in the front foyer.
With Canada Post on strike, we are asking anyone that can help to pick up and deliver newsletters to your neighbours/friends/ family as you are able. Many thanks and Happy Thanksgiving as we prepare to gather this coming weekend. Sunday October 12th we welcome people into our sanctuary and online for worship. All are welcome.
Our Service will be live–streamed at 10AM on St. Paul’s Facebook page and our YouTube channel. All worship services are archived to view at a later date.
God, giver of all good,
you continually pour your benefits upon us.
Age after age the living wait upon you and find
that your faithfulness has no end,
that your care is unfailing.
We praise you that the mystery of life
is a mystery of infinite goodness.
We praise you
for the order and constancy of nature;
for the beauty and bounty of the earth;
for day and night, summer and winter,
seedtime and harvest;
for the varied gifts of loveliness which every season brings.
We give you thanks
for all the comfort and joy of life,
for our homes, for our friends,
and for all the love, sympathy, and goodwill of all people.
Amen.
