Dear friends,

THIS SUNDAY Charlotte Adams will be leading us in worship.  Charlotte Adams is a candidate for ministry within the Presbytery of Montreal.  Charlotte was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and has lived in Pointe-Claire, QC since 2017.  Charlotte did her undergrad at St. Francis Xavier University in Honours Religious Studies and is currently doing her BTh/MDiv at Presbyterian College.  Charlotte is currently a member at St. Columba by the Lake Presbyterian Church in Pointe-Claire.

THIS WEEK THE START OF JESUS’ MINISTRY is explored and the calling of the disciples in Matthew.  The disciples immediately dropped their nets and followed Jesus.  What did it mean for the disciples to choose Christ?  What does it mean for us to choose Christ?

OUR ANNIVERSARY OFFERING, the yellow envelope dated January 25 in your offering envelope box is designated for Tyndale St-Georges.  An initiative of the Presbyterian Church, started in 1927, Tyndale House was joined by the Anglican Church in 1976 and became Tyndale St-Georges Community Centre which has provided empowering and supportive programs to the Little Burgundy community in South-West Montreal.  For more information about their origin, their mission and how they positively impact the Little Burgundy community, please visit: https://www.tyndalestgeorges.com/
