By Margaret DeBoer, Lucknow Presbyterian Church in Lucknow, Ont.
A few months ago, members of our Youth Group asked if they could have
a cooking competition. Dayle Taylor and Anne Mann are great cooks and were asked to help. These ladies planned an awesome evening of fun and creative cooking for the youth on

optional items from a table that in- cluded things like vegetables, fruit, rice, noodles, seaweed, cold meat, vinegars, oils and seasonings. Group members had five minutes to plan
and 30 minutes to prepare an original grilled cheese and a side. Then sand- wiches and sides were presented to the judges. The judges awarded priz- es for “Most Original,” “Best Sand- wich” and “Most Creative.” Paula Taylor, from our church, organized gift baskets through Circle K, so that each of the youth went home with an insulated lunch bag full of treats. The devotion for the evening was taken from John 21.
Our Youth Group is blessed with a community of caring and supportive adults who enable our youth to enjoy a wide variety of experiences at our monthly meetings.
Join in the celebration!

The Session at Zion Presbyterian Church in Charlottetown, P.E.I.
Hear the Good News
By John Barrett, Clerk of Session, Zion Presbyterian Church
in Charlottetown, P.E.I.
The Session of Zion Presbyterian Church in Charlottetown, P.E.I., has recently launched an Atlantic Syn- od–wide project. The project entitled “Hear the Good News” consists of a survey that will be sent to all member churches within the Atlantic Synod. The mailing will include a letter of in- troduction to explain the hopeful out- come of the project and solicit any of the great worship service ideas, fundraising projects or successful
outreach programs that each con- gregation is particularly proud of. The initial letter will include a couple of examples from Zion’s recent past. Respondents will be asked to submit in some detail the organization and execution components of their suc- cessful events.
The culmination of the project will be the publication of all these great ideas into one book, which will be distributed to every church in the Synod. This project was inspired by the tremendous response received from the readers of a Presbyterian Connection article several months
ago about Zion’s annual Memorial Angel Service (Spring 2019 edition). Within that article, readers wishing to institute a similar service were invit- ed to contact Zion church for details. The response to the article was over- whelming and numerous churches across the denomination have capi- talized on that one idea. Just imagine the treasure trove of great ideas that could be shared through the efforts of a project of this nature.
Zion will report on the final out- come of the project in the months ahead, and looks forward to sharing the Good News.
