 This Week 
 24 – 31 October 2026 

Christian faith is not an opinion or human conviction, but a most firm trust and a clear and steadfast assent of the mind, and then a most certain apprehension of the truth of God presented in the Scriptures …
Second Helvetic Confession

This Sunday, October 25th is Reformation Sunday. It commemorates the day Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses on the door of the All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg, Germany on 31 October 1517. Since then, countless generations have sought to love and serve God, interpret the scriptures, and work out their faith in their particular day and time. Our service this Sunday, celebrates that legacy by taking a journey through the PC(USA) Book of Confessions.

The banners shown above each represents a different creed or confession. During this service of readings and hymns, we will engage together with samples selected from each of the 10 creeds in our Book of Confessions. You may be very familiar with the confessions, or you may know nothing about them. The confessions are, simply, statements of faith; the efforts of various people at various times to make a coherent summary of what Christianity calls us to say and do.

These confessions are part of our constitution as Presbyterians. They guide and shape our life together. Pastors and elders vow to be guided by them. They are not scripture, and we do not believe or follow every word they say; but they witness to the journey our ancestors have taken in gifting us with the church we know today.
Come and join us this Sunday as we celebrate this legacy of faith.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

THANK YOU

A note of gratitude to everyone who came out and helped with the Church Fall Clean up Day last Saturday. We had a great turn out from our church members: Linda Roscoe, Sally Morrison, Kim Oey-Rosenthal and David Rosenthal, Ben and Jessi Killilea with Finn and Rowan. The PCC Boston congregation that worships here in our church also sent a large number of people who helped with everything from cleaning the interior windows and the sanctuary to outdoor yard work.

Much was accomplished thanks to everyone’s efforts! Thank you also to our Pumpkin Patch volunteers on October 14th: Cheryl Wells, Trish Briggs, Sue Hadsell, Linda Roscoe, Jen Slater, and Kim Oey-Rosenthal. Sales were good and the weather held up for a nice day! Apologies to anyone we may have missed!

REVITALIZATION COMMITTEE
Continuing the work that was started earlier this year by the Steering Committee, Session has established a Revitalization Committee to focus on efforts to rebuild participation in the life of the church through Sunday morning worship, Sunday school, and other opportunities to engage with the church and community. We invite anyone who is interested in learning more about ways you can help and get more involved to contact Sue McGilvray-Rivet (smcgilvrayrivet@gmail.com) or Jen Slater (jenmcarver@gmail.com). Whether you want to join the committee, or take a smaller step, all contributions are welcome!
