Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Below are our congregational announcements for the week October 16th – 23rd, 2025.
Senior’s Fellowship: Are you or someone you know interested in playing bingo, cards, or just having friendly conversation over tea and coffee? The Senior’s Fellowship meets on Wednesdays at 1pm, in the hall downstairs. It’s a great way to meet new people, with a chance to win fun prizes! No registration necessary, just come on over!
Giving Thanks: (Reminder) We all have someone or something in our lives to be thankful for; past, present, and future. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we’re happy to say that our Thanksgiving Leaves are back this year, available in the Narthex. Simply write on a leaf what you are thankful for in your life, and we will be posting them all up on the walls in the sanctuary for the month of October! Anyone who would like some leaves inscribed on their behalf can email their requests to office@calvinhalifax.ca.
A New Bible Study Begins – Thurs. Oct. 16 (Reminder) Our new 6-part Bible Study based on the Lord’s Prayer is set to begin on Thurs. Oct. 16, with in-person afternoon sessions @ 1:00 p.m. and online evening session @ 7:00 p.m. on ZOOM. This Fall study, entitled “Teach us Pray: Exploring the Lord’s Prayer” will involve discussion and reflection aimed at deepening our understanding, and appreciation, of the words we pray together each week and how they might help to shape our spiritual growth and journey. We hope you will make plans to join us for this study! (Please see the attached poster for more details.) For those planning to join us for our online evening Sessions, please use the link below to join each Thursday night (we will be using this same link each week for the duration of the study, and it will be recirculated each week in our regular weekly announcements).
