A special event was held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Picton, Ont., on Canada Day, in front of Christi Belcourt’s mural, “Wisdom of the Universe.” One hundred and fifty members of the wider community gathered to knit orange sweaters, sign a petition for our MP, raise money for the Seed Sanctuary on Tyendinaga and for Christi Belcourt’s culture camp, and to learn about the Indian Act.

On Aug. 29, the children at St. David’s Presbyterian Church in Toney River, N.S., enjoyed a wonderful outdoor afternoon together that included a Bible story, prayer, crafts, games and snacks. Everyone had so much fun! It was a great way to say so long to summer and welcome in a brand-new year of Sunday School.
St Mark’s Presbyterian Church in Orillia, Ont., held a short Remembrance Service outside the church at 11 a.m. on November 11. Over 400 members of the congregation lovingly crocheted and knitted poppies, which were on display for the 100th anniversary of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance. The Last Post and Reveille were played on the trumpet by the Rev. Linda Patton-Cowie.
