The youth group and some adults from Thornhill Presbyterian Church in Thornhill, Ont., served their annual Christmas dinner at Evangel Hall in downtown Toronto on December 17. Due to food insecurity and the number of people struggling these days, almost 200 meals were prepared and served by members of the congregation. The group is pictured here with their minister, the Rev. Dr. Heather Vais.
The congregation of Braeside Presbyterian Church in St. Albert, Alta., along with friends of the bride and groom, celebrated the marriage of Petra McNeill and Douglas Storm during worship on Dec. 31, 2023. The wedding topped off a month of celebrations as the congregation continues to settle in to their new location. Braeside Presbyterian Church had recently sold their building and land in order to relocate to a storefront location in St. Albert. On Dec. 3, the first worship service was held at the new location. One baptism and seven new members were celebrated on that day. A short video interview with the Rev. Janet Taylor, about the move, can be found at tinyurl.com/3442nua6.
On Sunday, Nov. 4, 2023, the congregation of Richmond Hill Presbyterian Church in Richmond Hill, Ont., held a farewell thank-you for Carole Priestley for her 12 years of service to the church school and Youth Advisory Team.
