Family News

  One of the great joys of belonging to SPPC is that you get an extended family in the congregation.  Like all families, we celebrate the big moments and the small moments in our communal lives. Here's a sampling.


   On Sunday, Feb. 16, we celebrated a couple of birthdays, Felicity and Jerusha.

    ed. note:  I think people would attend SPPC for the preaching and the singing and the fellowship, but if that isn't enough, you'd think they'd come for the cake!

  One of our younger members, Max, rowed an exceptional race in foul weather.  A 6.5 km warm-up and then a 6.5 km race!   They won by .5 seconds.  Talk about a push to the finish line.  Congratulations, Max.  To help him celebrate, Rebekah made a beautiful cake.

   On Wednesday, at the height of Olympic fever with Canada's hockey team, women's figure skating and men's semi-final curling, all on the ice and on television, we had a full turn out for Bible Study. Talk about an upset!   At SPPC we'd rather study the Book of Revelation than watch Canada play a crucial hockey game.  

    On Sunday, Feb. 23, we had a snow day!   But the choir turned out in full.

We also had a guest preacher in the pulpit.
Rev. Laura Hargrove from Port Alberni exchanged pulpits with Rev. Irwin for the day.  We suggested she brought the snow with her.  

  And there you have it, some of the family news for the past seven days.  Congratulations to all the celebrants.  Blessings on all the workers.  Three cheers to all who make our congregation a place of welcome and learning and sharing.  Come join the family.
