Pastor Bart’s 30th Ordination Anniversary Celebration & Thank You – September 8, 2024

General

A word of thanks from Sharon and Pastor Bart

“Thank you for sharing food, laughter and for bringing such generous gifts to the luncheon marking the 30th anniversary of ordination. Sharon and I were truly touched by the thoughtfulness of the gift cards so we can both enjoy your kindness. It seems over 30 years as I look at pictures and remember people, it’s the joy and even the fun that lingers in my memory. Thank you for taking your places in that ‘photo album’ I carry in my heart.”

Thank you to St. Matthews Welland for allowing the use of their pictures and video.

Climate Justice Weekend – September 22 at St. Luke’s Ridgeway

Eastern Synod

You are invited to a

Climate Justice Weekend of Action

Greetings from Maria Featherstone,

At synod assembly I volunteered for the climate justice taskforce. You may have seen in the synod newsletter that we have planned some special events. I invite your congregations to join one in Niagara.

As part of the Season of Creation, St Luke’s Ridgeway is holding a letter writing workshop at 2pm on September 22. We will be reaching out to Members of Parliament in favour of A Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty. A sample letter will be provided. The Secretary General of the United Nations has said “It is climate crunch time.” We as Christians need to act. Come, be part of the solution.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Peace

Maria Featherston
