It may have been foggy and drizzly outside, but the Lakeland Ringers and Singers from Florida brought the sunshine inside! ☀️🎶

Before the concert, our very own bell ringer, Peter, delighted us by tickling the ivories of our new-to-us Yamaha C7 grand piano.

The Lakeland Ringers and Singers then filled our sanctuary with the rich sounds of handbells and song, sharing their remarkable talent and joy with everyone in attendance.

This special evening also helped kick off our fundraising efforts in support of the Yamaha C7, and we are grateful to everyone who attended and contributed.

It was a wonderful evening of music, fellowship, and gratitude. 🎹🔔❤️

Common table!

Today, the congregations of the South Shore Lutheran Shared Ministry gathered as part of the ELCIC Day of Action, with a focus on food security.

Together, we learned, listened, shared, and reflected on how we can support our neighbours facing food insecurity. We brought donations for local food banks and community food pantries and renewed our commitment to helping ensure that everyone has access to nourishing food. We built a longer table!

As people of faith, we believe in building a longer table—one where there is room for everyone and enough for everyone.

Thank you to all who participated in this day of action. A special thank you to our Pastors for their leadership in this work!

“When I was hungry, you gave me food.” — Matthew 25:35
