GATHERINGS
An open house event called “Walk through Memory Lane” was organized in the summer to celebrate the 175th anniversary of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, Carluke, in Ancaster, Ont. Booklets providing a history of St. Paul’s were prepared for the open house event and handed out to people to read as they walked through memory lane. A model version of St. Paul’s was also built and put on display at the open house.

The Rev. Allen Aicken was the guest minister at West Vancouver Presbyterian Church on September 26, speaking about truth and reconciliation. Allen had been our Transitional Minister when we were without a minister from October 2011 to June 2013, and did an amazing job, using his unique creativity and leadership skills. The t-shirt he’s wearing was made by his two grandchildren in Calgary.
