ANDREW’S - Timothy, my brother, and his wife, Penny, have been on the prayer list for several months. Timothy is now in long term care at Saanich Peninsula Hospital. We are happy to report that for the past few weeks he is showing continuing health improvement. Thanks be to God! Stephen and Heather Hives FAITHLINK - Dear Companions in Christ: Once again I write, inviting you to a meeting of all the churches on the Peninsula. The purpose of the group is to show unity of our churches in our love for God and Christ, - to the wider community. Thus far, we have had 3 meetings with people from 12 different churches at various times. Two of the churches worked with the Sidney Business Improvement Area in their carol singing on the streets of Sidney during the holiday season. And two other churches worked with Beacon Community Services, assisting them in their coordination of donations for needy families for Christmas. A good beginning for a small group. As we begin a new year, it would be inspiring to have representatives from all 18 churches. Our next meeting is Wednesday January 28 at 2:30 at the Saanich Peninsula Presbyterian Church. We will be discussing next steps and we would love to have someone(s) from your church attend. I am attaching a notice of the meeting, which I would ask you to post and to encourage attendance. Yours in Christ, Helen Evans, Coordinator, Holy Trinity Anglican Church PHONE SERVICE - Please expect phone service to the office and kitchen lines to be interrupted during the next couple of weeks due to service changeover.
