Some members of the Burning Bush Auxiliary of the Atlantic Mission Society took a trip to the Millbrook Cultural & Heritage Center in Millbrook, N.S., to learn more about Mi’kmaq people and efforts toward Truth & Reconciliation. The group thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits and the media presentation. Pictured (left to right) are Anna Rushton, Joni Roper, Mary Condon, Ruth Hopkins, Kathy Graham, Linda Sangster and Robin Langille.
Last August, St. Andrew’s Presbyte- rian Church in New Gairloch, N.S., (part of Hopewell Pastoral Charge) celebrated their 200th Anniversary. David Sutherland, whose ancestors attended the church, was the guest speaker and Little Harbour Presby- terian Church choir were the guest singers. This year, the congregation is celebrating on August 20 with the Rev. Charles McPherson as guest speaker. Pictured above is the historic church. Also pictured is Mary Maclean, who turned 100 in August last year and who had been baptized in the church 100 years ago.
Connection
St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Whycocomagh, N.S., sponsored several events as part of the community’s Whycocomagh Summer Festival from July 10 to 16, 2023. A “Lunchtime Ceilidh,” silent auction and pancake breakfast were very successful and well attended. The events not only served as fundraising projects for the church but also as a means of Christian fellowship with the community. Outdoor worship services during the month of July were also very popular.
On Sunday, June 25, members of Armour Heights Presbyterian Church in Toronto, Ont., joined a presby- tery-wide initiative to take part in the To- ronto Pride Parade.
