From Pastor Will:
Our faithful online members Penny and Charlotte live in Canada. They are joyfully providing community meals today. Penny is from Branford and Charlotte is from Sudbury.

Our Canadian virtual members are serving at Shades today. Canada observes Thanksgiving Day on October 11. This is their greeting for the Shades friends today. This brings lots of memories to me. One year I observed Thanksgiving 3 different days.. Canada, USA and Trinidad. (They celebrate days of thanksgiving apart from these first two.)
Ironically, this week’s Saturday morning worship will be Luke’s story of one leper among 10 who took time to thank Jesus for healing him.
What are you thankful for today?

Check out our new marker. Go to our website for updates and burials. See the QR code on the stone. This year we added a large underground burial vault that will contain cremains for decades to come. One of the works of mercy is to care for the dead who have no one else to care. Our faithful friends and partners in ministry with the least of these help ministries like this continue. God is faithful.

We’ve been learning some lessons from St Luke’s gospel. This time we will hear about ten men who were lepers, and how they responded to Jesus’ message. They all heard the message, but each responded in his own way. Come and see just where you stand in the company of these ten men.
Our music is led by Landon Bellamy with congregation friends. There is always opportunity for others to share music and sing. Reach out to Landon at Shades and he will be happy to work you into the schedule. ALL are genuinely welcome to attend in the name of our Lord Jesus.
