Maintenance

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

Just like the public works department paints new lines on the the roads around schools in September, SPPC had fresh paint applied to the lines in our parking lot. They are so bright, they practically glow in the dark!

Since we're in a "freshen up" frame of mind, the front doors were taken down, sanded, varnished, and re-hung this week as well. We walk through those doors every week without giving them a thought, but close examination shows they were definitely in need of a little TLC.

And here is someone who is very well maintained! 

Happy Birthday to Emily, who celebrated her 100th with a tea at SPPC on Saturday afternoon.

Congratulations from Rev. Irwin

                              lots of friends stopped by for the party.

And, speaking of parties, if you're looking for fun and fellowship, Friendship Coffee meets this Thursday, 10:00 am at the church on E. Saanich Rd. All are welcome, church member or not.

 I recently read a book where an introvert, not inclined to small talk, wore a badge when he went to parties. The badge read "talk to me about salvation." He was mostly left alone. 

If you do want to talk about salvation, come to Bible Study on Wed. at 10:00 am or 7:00 pm. This term we are studying Proverbs. Last week we talked about being wise when temptation came calling. This week, we seek ways to avoid The Fool. Each lesson can stand alone so feel free to attend even if you've missed the previous ones.

While we're in Proverbs, consider 16:31  Long life is the reward of the righteous; grey hair is a glorious crown.

More cake on Sunday morning.
