FALL 2018
   GATHERINGS
  In May, Chippawa Presbyterian Church in Niagara Falls, Ont., sent a team to the local food bank’s Go-Kart Grand Prix Fundraiser for the ninth year. This year’s team came away with both first and second places in the race, and the trophy for Most Pledges Raised. Chip- pawa Presbyterian Church has won Most Pledges Raised for all nine years it has participated in the race. Pictured above is the Rev. Doug Schonberg with the trophy and the racing team.
Children from St. Luke’s Presbyterian Church in Salt Springs, N.S., were busy chopping vegetables to help farmers in Guatemala grow more on their land. The youth cooked and served up bowls of soup for a stone soup fundraiser in support of PWS&D’s Farming for the Future initiative. Exceeding their goal, the small congregation raised $340—more than enough to help a family have nourishing food for the future.
On May 6, North Caradoc–St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Strathroy-Caradoc, Ont., celebrated their 165th Anniversary with a wonderful worship lead by the congregation’s minister, the Rev. Michelle Butterfield-Kocis, with musical guests Amabile Boys Ensemble, an enjoyable lunch and an impressive congregational picture!
Sixteen young adult representatives from PCC partner churches in Ghana, Lebanon, Malawi and Taiwan visited Presbyterian ministries, met congregations and experienced life in Canada prior to attending Canada Youth 2018 at Brock University.
  Savour the Summer was a community event organized by Trinity Presbyterian Church in Carp, Ont., that took place every Thursday for the month of June. With food trucks, live music, games, face painting and visits by community ser- vice providers like the police, the event was fun for the whole family.
