GATHERINGS
The players of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Dartmouth, N.S., presented The Road to Calvary on Palm/Passion Sunday. Readings, drama and music were used to present the Last Week in the life of Jesus.
On Sunday, March 4, Knox Presbyterian Church in Mitchell, Ont., celebrated the 40th anniversary of Audrey Vorstenbosch’s service as organist and choir director. Mrs. Vorstenbosch grew up attending Knox and had served as organist of two other congregations before being approached to assume responsibilities at Knox on March 1, 1978. Presentations were made during worship and a reception was held after- ward in the church hall. We are grateful to God for Audrey’s talents and joyful spirit.
There was a lot to celebrate at Trinity (Kanata) Presbyterian Church, near Ottawa, Ont., on Easter Sunday. Communion, bap- tisms and the reception of new members, as well as a cantata by the choir, complete with cello, violin and grand piano accom- paniment, and a dramatic skit retelling the Easter story. Nine new members, two adult baptisms and two children baptisms left no choice but to have cake!
Leaders from Indigenous ministries across the PCC visited Cowichan Grace Church on Vancouver Island in January during the National Native Ministries Council 2018 gathering.
