WHO IS JESUS, WHO ARE YOU? The Gospel of Matthew Fall Adult Study - Weekly on Wednesdays, Starting September 16 | 7:30pm, In Person & Online
Jesus is the founder of Christianity. But do we really know who he was and what he taught? Well, the place to start has to be the gospels. But which one? Do they all give us the same Jesus?
Matthew’s gospel is the first one in our New Testament. And this is no arbitrary choice. Matthew’s gospel was the most well-known and shared of the gospels for the first 100 years of Christianity.
And while each of the gospels offers us unique perspectives on Jesus and what he taught, Matthew’s concern above all other concerns is to reveal a Jesus who seeks to get to the heart of a person beyond all the pretenses and facades we all take on to live in this world of ours. Do we ever feel safe or free to expose our naked selves beneath all the layers of protection? Before whom would we feel totally safe and totally loved to be so exposed?
The Jesus of Matthew’s gospel invites such an encounter with people, a veritable journey of dying and discarding of layers built on sand, in order to call forth a more authentic building up of a wholeness rooted on solid rock.
And so, beginning Wednesday, September 16, 7:30pm, we begin a journey through Matthew’s gospel account seeking to discover the true Jesus and ourselves more truly by entrusting ourselves to the Jesus we will meet on the journey. Will you join us?

THE PCC COLONIZATION & RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS - Listening, learning and working for reconciliation - with Katharine Sisk - Recorded Presntation Sunday, September 27 | 12:00pm
In marking the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, it is important to understand the church’s role in the harms of colonization and residential school. Why was it important for the church to apologize? What is reconciliation? What is our role?
On Sunday, September 27, Orange Shirt Day/Truth and Reconciliation Sunday, Armour Heights gathered for a presentation and conversation led by our own Katharine Sisk, who is Senior Program Coordinator of the Justice Ministries of the Presbyterian Church in Canada.

Milk Bags Into Mats & Egg Cartons for the Food Bank!
We have just received an update from Gillian MacCausland that in 2023 we have collected 592! Each mat for an adult takes 500-700 bags. CLICK HERE or the button below to learn more about the program. If any youth or other participants might be interested in getting involved by sorting or counting bags, let us know!
We also collected 459 egg cartons in 2023! Visits to the food bank that we are sending the egg cartons to have gone from 4,000 families each month at the first part of the year, to 7,500 this summer. We also continue to collect bread tags. Thank you for keeping the food bank in good supply! Keep it up!
If you are also able to supply diapers, baby formula, feminine hygiene products, general personal care items (soaps, toothpastes, shampoos etc.) or any items that can take a chunk out of a limited budget, they would be gratefully received as the cost for these items continues to rise. If you have any questions, speak to Erin or Gillian.
Many thanks again to Gillian MacCausland for piloting this project that serves our community and our planet!
