Summer Guests

 The link to this week's live-streamed service is here.

This week we welcomed Rev. Jacqueline Burnie to the pulpit as guest preacher. Rev. Burnie lives in Ontario but is the sister of Joan, one of our elders, so she is combining a family visit with pulpit supply. She and Rev. Irwin are almost classmates, both having studied at Knox College in Toronto. Irwin was one year behind Burnie.

Also on Sunday morning we had a guest musician, Mary Byrne. Mary hardly qualifies as "guest" since she has played often for our service, and accompanied vocalists, Alice and Tore. We are always grateful to her for sharing her talent and love of music with the congregation.

The Saturday night concert series continues. On Aug. 5, the Die

Mahler String Quartet played Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Next Saturday, Aug 12 they will play the last of the string quartets by these composers. On August 19 we will hear the McPherson Trio play Brahms, Haydn and Dvorak.

The Cops for Cancer campaign will run through September-October this year, and our own Jerusha is taking part. In memory of her sister, Ruth, Jerusha has volunteered to shave her head. Oh, Jerusha, what a brave gesture! 

There is a donation box in the narthex for anyone who wants to support her.
