On Sunday, June 4, Armour Heights Presbyterian Church in Toronto, Ont., served dinner at Evangel Hall Mission.
Varsity Acres Presbyterian Church in Calgary, Alta., held their annual Celebration Sunday in June, to celebrate the year in faith education. But the day was a celebration x 4 for one family at the church. All four children in the Arthur family—Yolanda (age 9), Bill (8), Gracin (3) and Marilyn (19 months)—were baptized during the service, led by the Rev. Greg Smith. The family is originally from Ghana, but live in Calgary now and attend VAPC, where the kids are regular participants in Sunday school. Parents Philip and Grace thought that celebrating their children’s baptisms in this way would have a special meaning for the family and it truly was a joyful and sacred celebration!
