GATHERINGS
For the first time since COVID-19 shut down the world, Fall Fest happened in Québec City, Que., in late September. This annual event is intended to introduce people—especially English speak- ers—to things of interest to Anglophones in the area. As has been the tradition, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church had a table at the event, which proved to be very popular. Members of the congrega- tion were present to answer questions, and this year, we offered homemade treats to people passing by. Among the people pictured in the photos are Keely Hunter, Katherine Bleeker, Skyler Giguère and Gina Farnell.

    Over Thanksgiving weekend, the congregation of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Orillia, Ont., did their part to make sure that Thanksgiving meals in the community did not go without that essential meal staple: potatoes. On Saturday morning, members of St. Andrew’s handed out 300 bags of potatoes, totalling 3,000 pounds, to residents of the community for free.
  On Sept. 16, a special retirement celebration was held to thank principal clerk the Rev. Stephen Kendall for his faithful service to the national office and The Presbyterian Church in Canada. Former moderators, national office staff and other special guests were in attendance to wish Stephen well in his retirement.
  Staff members at the national office of The Presbyterian Church in Canada took part in Orange Shirt Day and marked the event with a special worship service.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, a donation of fresh vegetables was made to Halifax West Ecumenical Foodbank from Calvin Presbyterian Church in Halifax, N.S.
   Members from Armour Heights Presbyterian Church in Toronto, Ont., took part in the Women’s Wellness Weekend at Cairn Family of Camps in Baysville, Ont., which ran Sept. 23–25.
