ALL SAINTS SUNDAY - NOVEMBER 1
On Sunday, November 1, we celebrate All Saints’ Day, remembering loved ones who have gone before us and holding to the promise of eternal life. You are invited to light a candle, place a photograph of a loved one along the Nave windowsills, or submit their name to be remembered during the Eucharist by emailing office@stg.church or adding it to the list at the door. Those wishing to arrange memorial flowers may contact the parish office. During the service, there will be a time of silence to remember loved ones, silently or by speaking their names aloud. May God bless all the saints, known and unknown, who have gone before us.
FOOD CUPBOARD DRIVE
Throughout October we are collecting donations of regular smooth peanut butter (not natural) and/or laundry soap for our Food Cupboard.
These are both popular and necessary items that are appreciated by our community.
Other Food Cupboard needs this week include: laundry detergent, cereal, crackers, apple sauce, sugar, chunky soup, sardines, shelf-stable milk.
Thank you for your continued generosity!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Operation Christmas Child and the gift of the shoeboxes is underway. Ann Hamaker has shoeboxes and pamphlets, if needed. If you don’t see Ann at Church and would like a box and pamphlet you can give her a call at 514-831-7732 or email her at hamakers@outlook.com All shoeboxes are to be returned to Church no later than Sunday, 15 November.
Soap is no longer allowed in the shoeboxes because it can cause customs and import complications in some receiving countries. To help prevent shipments from being delayed, Samaritan’s Purse asks that soap not be included.
PIANO CONCERT - NEXT DATE OCTOBER 28

PRAYER REQUESTS
Each month we refresh the prayer requests.
Please email the office should you wish to add or renew someone on the prayer list. We bring our prayers to God, whether for ourselves or for others, knowing that God responds to our request.
We ask that you seek permission from the person you wish us to pray for before submitting the name. Only first names will be read out during the service to help preserve privacy.
