We also ask you to remember those who cannot attend services and to keep them in prayer: Jo B, Maureen B, Aky D, Charles & Stella D, John D, Audrey K, Frances L, Jan M, Thea P, Gerdie P, Louise S, Joanne T, Nell V, & Riet V.
The Boys are back in Church!” We are glad to announce that our Cadet program is back again this year with our first night beginning on Tues, Oct, 13th @ 7 p.m. here at the church building. Grades 3-7, neighbours, friends, and family are all welcome to come and have a great time doing badge work, learning together from the Bible and of course many activity nights also. This year’s theme is “Mountain of Blessings (Psalm 125:2)” and we are thankful and blessed by councillors past and present and support of the congregation. See everyone Oct. 13th @ 7 p.m.!
Reminder to all Church Keyholders: When you leave the church building, please pull the main door shut and ensure it latches.

Thank you for the continued support of the Food Bank and helping folks facing food insecurity.
Music Nights at Ebenezer CRC: Join us in the sanctuary for music nights beginning Tues, Oct 27th at 6:30 pm and will run for 1.5 hours on those evenings (come as you are able). We'll gather every Tuesday evening through the rest of 2026. Whether you're interested in leading music on Sunday mornings or simply love to sing and play, you're welcome here. All ages are invited, and no experience is required. We'll be diving into Christmas music pretty quickly, so if that's your thing, you won't want to miss it! Come make some music with us. We'd love to see you there.
October 11 Offering: The 2nd offering today is for Ministry to the Seafarers parcels. Every year at this time we collect monies for Christmas parcels / gift bags that are given to the Seafarers that visit the Ministry to the Seafarers centre in Montreal in December. The life of a Seafarer is very lonely, often spending months at a time away from family and loved ones, including over Christmas. These parcels show Christ's love, and let them know they are seen, loved, and valued by us. ministrytoseafarers.org/parcels
