Welcome to winter! I know there will be many happy snow mobilers and skiers in the area. We have to be thankful we haven’t got the snow the Eastern Provinces have received. Many residents cannot get out of their homes to locate their vehicles. We send our condolences to the family and friends of Peter Booth who passed away Saturday morning. There will be a Celebration of Life for Peter at a later date. Happy Birthday Wishes to Verna Gagnon (21st), Craig Short (22nd), Joyce Abraham (22nd), and Katie O’Hara (23rd). The Sunday greeters were Doris and Roger Bullock. Opal, the hand puppet, was able to trudge through the snow along with Minister Stephanie. Opal wore glasses to see if she could see Jesus. The lesson was that you can’t see Jesus, you can only feel Him in your heart by doing good deeds. After the baptism of Jesus, by John the Baptist and the dove lit upon His shoulder, Jesus started His ministry with the people. The World Day of Prayer will be celebrated at Cresswell Presbyterian Church, 97 Cresswell Road, Manilla, in Ontario on March 6th at 1 p.m. All are welcome to attend.
