Session has decided to hold an Election of Elders and a letter with envelope and ballot will be mailed out within the next few weeks. It would be appreciated if those members not willing to serve as an Elder would notify Dallas Davis requesting that their name be excluded from the ballot.

On November 24th, the Sunday before the Feast of Saint Andrew, we follow our tradition by welcoming members of the Fredericton Society of Saint Andrew to participate in the service. The procedure is for the Society piper, Sandy Gordon, to pipe Society members into the sanctuary and for the Society President, Will Hyslop, to do at least one of the scripture readings.

Great ADVENTure – November 29th at 5pm.
