GREAT NEWS - we are beginning to plan for the in-person Annual A&P Fall Fair on Saturday, November 4th, 2023 (Kildonan Hall)
As many of you know, this monumental project involves many fantastic people. We hope you'll be able to participate this year. There are plenty of areas for your involvement.
We would like to remind you that all proceeds of the Fall Fair are to support charities in the Montreal area. Many fellow Montrealers benefit from our annual fund-raising project thanks to your generosity.
PWS&D Crisis Appeal
We want to share with you some information about a crisis many people around the world are facing, and let you know how you can help.
Right now, 50 million people living across 45 countries are facing emergency levels of hunger.
The effects of climate change, conflict and COVID-19 have combined to create a situation where action is essential. World hunger rose by an unprecedented 18% iin 2021.
Progress made to reduce world hunger in recent decades has largely evaporated.
PWS&D is already responding with Canadian Foodgrains Bank in places like South Sudan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, where hunger needs are worsening every day.
Today, as food prices continue to rise, more resources are required to feed the same number of people. Your contribution will help us reach so many more people.
Visit WeRespond.ca to support PWS&D’s response to this pressing need.

News
The Israelites have fled Egypt after centuries of oppression. But no sooner have they left than they start to miss their old lives. They begin to complain against their leaders, Moses and Aaron. Please join us on Sunday at 11am as we see how God still provides for them despite their lack of thankfulness.

Time and time again in the Book of Exodus we see Moses attempting to persuade Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go. Begrudgingly Pharaoh eventually does. But as the people of Israel escape to freedom, the Hebrew God has to intervene to find a way to deliver them from certain destruction at the hands of a very vindictive Pharaoh. Can this same God help us today or should this story simply be consigned to legend? Please join us on Sunday at 11am as we explore this ancient tale known as "The Crossing of the Red Sea."

Mark your calendars! The Twinning Committee warmly invites you to a Lunch & Learn on Sunday, September 24th immediately after the service, in Kildonan Hall. The speaker will be Wayne Robinson, Indigenous Educator and Team Lead for the K’wahse 2 Outreach Team and the Native Friendship Centre of Montreal. He will be speaking on Understanding Intergenerational Trauma of Canada’s Indigenous People. All are welcome.
On Saturday, September 30, at 6:00 p.m., The Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul will hold our second annual service to mark the Day of Truth and Reconciliation. Indigenous and settler-descendant voices will be raised in story, song, and prayer to Creator God. The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, Rev. Mary Fontaine, Nehiyaw (Cree) from Mistawasis, Saskatchewan, will offer a homily. Innu singer-songwriter Shauit will reprise his much-appreciated appearance last year, Kahnawake elder Don Barnaby will reflect on our nearby community and our ministers, Rev. Dr. Glenn Chestnutt and Rev. Susan Brasier will offer prayers. As last year, dozens of candles will be lit in memory of the victims and survivors of the residential schools, and orange t-shirts will fill the sanctuary.
Attendance at this remarkable service is very definitely open to all of any faith or no religious faith who share the hope of restoring right relations with our Indigenous brother and sisters.

As we gather again at the start of our church year, we pause once again in the wisdom of Jesus’ sermon on the mount that is recorded in the first chapters of the Gospel of Matthew. Jesus tells us that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. This is not something we work towards or aspire to be. No, we already are salt and light. So what does that mean for us and how do we live into our salty shiny selves?

While tending his father-in-law’s sheep on the sacred mountain of Horeb, Moses witnesses a bush burst into flames. A voice emanates from the bush and commands Moses to deliver the Hebrew people from Pharaoh and from oppression. While once a prince of Egypt, Moses is now a murderer on the run. Understandably he is hesitant and questions God’s command. Join us on Sunday at 11am as we explore this encounter between human and divine and hopefully learn something about God’s expectations for proper human leadership.
