The Week that Was

Friendship Coffee in the Rose Garden

 We've had a very social week at SPPC. Whether it's the good weather, the approach of summer holidays, or the phase of the moon, for whatever reason, folk at Saanich Peninsula Presbyterian Church have been in a visiting frame of mind.

On Thursday morning, Friendship Coffee was held in the rose garden beside the Sidney library. Covid prompted the use of that outdoor space when we couldn't meet

indoors. There are no longer restrictions on gatherings but so many people enjoyed the rose garden that Friendship Coffee gatherings are now held there by choice rather than necessity, when the weather is good.

And then . . .

On Thursday afternoon, the "out to lunch" bunch met at Zanzibar restaurant in Brentwood Bay to share some delicious food and lots of conversation. 

The special was a chicken and brie wrap that proved very popular.

Finally, on Saturday evening, the DieMahler Ensemble, with our own Larry, played a concert at SPPC. The weather was perfect, not too hot and not too cold. The music included some familiar favourites. The audience of around 30 enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere- no numbered seats, no usher

checking tickets. A share of the proceeds went to the church resulting in over $200.00 being donated to our Food Bank Drive. 

Speaking of the Food Bank Drive, don't forget the draw next week for the flower baskets. You still have time to make a donation (cash or food items) and get your name in the hat.

On Wednesday we continue our study of The Apostles' Creed. We confess this statement to our faith at every Lord's Supper. Considering and studying what "I believe," is time well spent. All are welcome, even if you haven't been there before.
