A Happy Thanksgiving to all!

It is good to give thanks to the LORD and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night, With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp, with resounding music upon the lyre. For You, O LORD, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
Psalm 92:1-4

Have a wonderful time as you celebrate Thanksgiving and share your blessings this past year with family and friends. We know that a lot of you are going home to spend time with loved ones (and of course, a few great home-cooked meals!), so do enjoy your weekend and time spent at home.

There are a couple of important announcements for this Saturday, October 7:

• For those of you who are not going home but want to experience a weekend retreat in the country, our C & C leader, Donald Vilneff, has an open invitation to anyone who is free this weekend to go to his lovely and picturesque hometown in Marmora, ON. It is east of Toronto and near Kingston. The lovely fall colours there must be a sight to behold, and the countryside is replete with gently rolling hills (the hike around the property is always a great experience!) and bubbling streams. Please contact him by e-mail: donaldvilneff@hotmail.com for more details, preferably on or before Thursday, Oct. 5 so that transportation and lodging details can be arranged.

• Those that are in the city this Saturday, Oct. 7 are welcome to join us for dinner at Swiss Chalet on Yonge St. and Gerrard St. W. We are meeting at the church parking lot by 7:15 pm and planning to leave by 7:30 pm to walk over to the restaurant. Please feel free to join us at the restaurant if you will be delayed. We will have a time of sharing blessings and fellowship while we partake of their yummy chicken dinner- I believe you can also get pumpkin pie there for dessert- perfect for the season! We will then have a laidback time of games after dinner back at the church.

Have a blessed week, and hope to see those of you who can make it on Saturday evening!
