GATHERINGS
Women of the Way, a group of women in their 20s, 30s and 40s, that worships at Cal- vin Presbyterian and Deer Park United (an ecumenical shared ministry in the heart of Toronto) hosted a fancy tea party in November, 2017. A special invitation went out to women’s groups of generations past. Over a cup of tea and a three-tiered plate of goodies, women from both congregations celebrated 50 years of women’s ministry.
On Saturday, March 24, Barb Summers, Associate Secretary of Communications for the PCC, led a workshop for participants in the Ottawa area on how to build an effective website and create a strong social media presence. Hosted by St. Andrew’s Presby- terian Church in Stittsville, the event was a great opportunity to share ideas, discuss options and help build a stronger online presence for churches.
The Ladies’ Choir at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church in Port Hope, Ont., called the St. Cecilia Singers, won the choral portion, with distinction, of the Peterborough Kiwanis Festival. They have also been honoured by being selected to perform at the provincial level.
On Wednesday, March 28, Lucknow Presbyterian Church in Lucknow, Ont., held another all-ages Messy Church event. Messy Church events are Christ-centred, with a focus on creativity, hospitality and celebration. The monthly events have become an exciting part of the congregation’s ministry.
