Sunday October 30

As noted in the recent newsletter, Rev. McAnsh is now the Interim Moderator for Binbrook & Carluke churches. Next Sunday, he needs to lead services at these churches and, in his place, Rev. Moe Anderson will be leading our service.

Congregational Meeting – Sunday October 23 A BEPC congregational meeting will be held immediately after the

service today. Purpose of the meeting is to approve funding, from

the Heritage Fund, to repair a section of the roof at the front of

the church. Session has provided approval to proceed with this

repair but congregational approval is required to use Heritage Fund

money to cover the costs.

ELDER ELECTION PROCESS

Some of the Elders, whose term will be up in March, 2017, are

electing to take a break. As such, we will be adding new Elders to

Session. If you have a suggestion as to who you think would make

a good Elder, please let Rev. McAnsh or Bob Dickison know by the

end of October. The actual Elder election will take place at the

March 2017 annual meeting.

This year we are planning to fill 50 (or more!!) boxes for Operation Christmas

Child. Boxes, together with the instruction brochure, can be picked up after

Worship Service during Fellowship Hour in Douglas Hall. Shoeboxes are

due back on Sunday, November 13th.

Contact Margo Polk at 905-634-8282 if you have any questions.

Prayer Group

Our face to face meetings have concluded as winter approaches and will resume in the Spring. Please continue to post your prayer requests in the boxes as they will be picked up weekly and distributed to the group.

Operation Christmas Child

Monday Social Club Food Drive Our annual food drive will continue through the

month of October. All donations of non-perishable

food items, during this month, will be given to our

own “Food For Life” program which we sponsor

every Monday. The Social Club will be donating food items each

Monday in place of collecting funds each week.
