This week's live-streamed service is here
Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, Friendship Coffee returned to SPPC. A goodly turnout of old friends and some newcomers enlivened the hall. There were lots of green hats and green ties along with Irish jokes and happy smiles.
Earlier in the week the Bible Study group met and enjoyed a far-ranging discussion on fasting. Many perspectives from those who fast regularly and look forward to it to those who cannot fathom ever willingly going without food.
In another move toward normalizing our church services, the worship committee met and made plans for extra services over Easter and re-instating the choir. So, next week there will be a choir at the front to lead the hymns and provide an anthem. Anyone interested in joining can turn up on Thurs. evening at 7:00 pm, or speak to Larry on Sunday.
Finally, on Sunday, we held our Annual Congregational Meeting. This was for 2020 and 2021. We got through the usual business of the meeting with no hiccups. Then we had to appoint new trustees for the church. Our previous trustees had been serving in that capacity for many, many years and felt they wanted to step aside. Five members allowed their names to stand and were appointed by the congregations. 
This was a formal process and will need to be legally confirmed to meet B.C.'s new requirements. Apparently the province is bringing in new rules to prevent money-laundering in real estate. 😮
As a reward for our work, we had lunch.
