The congregation of St. andrew’s memorial Presbyterian Church in Port Credit, Ont., celebrates Canada’s 150th birthday.
Linda Charlton, a member of dorchester Presbyterian Church, Ont., was on a boat tour to see wildlife and the surrounding islands of Woody Is- land, n.L., and saw an unexpected vision of communion. “We had stopped over in a rustic harbour shelter for warmth from the wind and rain; for lunch and fun with our group of hardy travellers, and new-found friends.”
during the annual memorial Service on July 16 at St. andrew’s in Lancaster, Ont., a special memorial plaque was dedicated in memory of Lucy margaret Baker, a Presbyterian lay missionary born near Lancaster in 1836 who served in Prince albert, Sask., for 31 years. The plaque was presented jointly by the Brockville Presbyterial of the WmS and the Presbytery of Seaway-Glengarry. From left, the Rev. Fred Rennie, the Rev. marianne emig Carr, the Rev. dr.

Located just blocks from Parliament Hill, Canada day has been a good time for St. andrew’s Ottawa to welcome visitors. This year, we welcomed over 1,500 people. It’s quite wonderful to see people waiting in line to get into church. also this year, along with an exhibit celebrating the life of Peter Bryce, we had a long-time elder (noral Rebin) who particularly enjoys Canada day with a ourish.
