1. This Sunday, September 27 we observe Orange Shirt Day. The wearing of orange shirts is a way of remembering the children who were sent to residential schools in this country and had their personal possessions taken away. They remind us that every child matters. Wear orange to support this remembrance.
2. This Sunday, Surviving Dementia Care-Meet the author and join the conversation:
Sunday Sept 27, 2026, 2 p.m. at Beach United Church, 140 Wineva Ave. A compassionate and insightful guide for anyone navigating the challenging journey of caring for a loved one with dementia. This book is based on research and stories from family caregivers. D. Grant Campbell reimagines dementia care – not as a set of skills to master, but as a deeply human experience to endure and understand. This is a free event, open to everyone. Donations to the Beach-Interfaith Community lunch program gratefully received.

And, for those of you who like sermons, here is a link to Sylvia’s sermon on "Jacob and the Stairway to Earth". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqBdQ2Co-KY
“Every time I teach somewhere new, at least one person raises the question of the tension between the God of the Old Testament and the God we meet in Jesus. It's time to address that again, especially since we live in times when our politicians and some of those in our churches, are suggesting that God is on the side of violence and hate. It's time to take on these topics once again and reveal how this is a terrible misreading of the Biblical text.“ Sylvia Keesmaat
