Prayer Shawls needed!
If you have completed prayer shawls please bring them to the church on Sunday as we will have the blessing of the shawls to restock the bin.
Whether you’d like company for a meal, are a student and would like to enjoy some home cooked food or are tired of the TV for company at the dinner table then Dinner Church is the place to be. We meet every Monday at 5:30 in the sanctuary. Food, Fellowship, Worship we cover it all!
Trish Steadman will soon be preparing the worship volunteer schedule for December through February. If you have been a worship volunteer and have specific unavailability in that time period or wish to be removed from the roster, please email Trish (stead@mymts.net) with those details by November 11t . It is extremely helpful to have this information prior to preparing the schedule rather than having to make adjustments after it’s been completed.
If you are not currently on the roster of worship volunteers, please contact Trish if you’d like to be added or if you have questions. There are many roles to be filled each Sunday and we’d love to have you join in!

Amnesty International Write for Rights letter writing campaign in the parish hall. Amnesty International will send us case studies of 10 human rights defenders who need our support. Paper, pens, envelopes, sample letters will be provided. You may donate towards postage if you wish.
Write for Rights is the world’s largest human rights letter writing event. Every year around Human Rights Day on December 10th, hundreds of thousands of people worldwide write letters on behalf of prisoners of conscience, human rights defenders and others at risk of human rights violations. This year, Write for Rights focuses on the right to protest around the world.
Letters have the power to change lives, and throughout Amnesty International’s 61 years of human rights activism, many people have been freed because of the action taken by activists who participate in Write for Rights. Letters and online actions taken by activists have given former prisoners of conscience, human rights defenders, torture survivors, and death row prisoners hope and helped changed the minds of decision makers.
