   The Mission Team of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Ancaster, Ont., conducted a community Textile Recycling Drive on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2020. Pictured right are (front row, left to right): Jenn Pooni, Anne Yee-Hibbs, Steve Potter, and (back row) Pat Foley, John Hibbs, Linda Bleue. This initiative prevented 2,000 pounds of textiles from going into a landfill site.
The Rev. Mary Campbell of Claude Presbyterian Church in Caledon, Ont., put her crafting skills to good use during the pandemic, building a new Nativity scene for the church. It was a lot of hard work but she created a marvellous display. While it was disappointing that the church was unable to open over Advent and Christmas in 2020, the congregation is grateful for Mary’s artistic accomplishment, and looks forward to setting up the scene this year.
Even though the congregation at Claude Presbyterian Church in Caledon, Ont., was prevented from gathering in person for Christmas Eve worship, they still managed to display the spirit of Christmas to those passing by on Highway 10 in the Caledon area.
Members of the First Presbyterian Church Brockville Chancel Choir in Brockville, Ont., gathered in December at the Royal Brock Retirement Living residence to serenade long-time singer Max Farrelly on his 90th birthday. In true 2020 pandemic style, the choir stood outside the Royal Brock’s main entrance (physically distanced and wearing masks) and sang Christmas carols for Max, members of his family, and approximately 25 other residents, concluding with a rousing chorus of “Happy Birthday.” Congratulations and best wishes, Max!
