Fort St. John Presbyterian Church will be celebrating World Communion Sunday, Oct. 2 with a communion service at 1:00 pm.  All are invited to attend.

We begin our services with pie and coffee at 12:30 (optional but irresistible)  12:30.  Service begins at 1:00.  Come and enjoy worship through the Scripture, hymns and prayer.  We are doubly blessed to have both an organist and pianist.

Our church building continues to be shared with St. Luke’s United Church.  This arrangement continues to be advantageous to both congregations.  They have been with us for over a year and we are happily accommodating each other in all relevant matters.  It is good to share and that includes some services, early brunch and good fellowship. We look forward to continuing the sharing for as long as the need is there.

Presbyterian World Service and Development (PWS&D) is important to our congregation and through the leadership of Chris Paull we have raised over $5000 in this past year towards the special fund called “Peacemaker”.  In addition we also continue with the regular funding of PWS&D and Presbyterian Sharing.  In the past year we were also able to contribute to some of our local organizations such as “Better at Home”.

The Canadian Food Grains Bank will be the recipient of any funds from our upcoming 100 Mile Dinner on October 3, 2015

While our Church welcomed  Roberto De Sandoli to our church as the summer student minister, alas, all good things must come to an end and Roberto has returned to Vancouver where he will be continuing his studies. He has left a lasting impression on all who heard him speak.  Roberto was quick to tour the area and even took part in the Paddle for the Peace, a new experience as he had never been in a river boat before.  He meet with members of the congregation and volunteered to help wherever he could. Needless to say, a void now exists for the congregation. We also had an opportunity to meet his wife Jayne.  They celebrated their first anniversary at our joint service with St. James Church where we also had a great lunch and time of fellowship. We  wish both Roberto and Jayne all the best and hope that at some point they will return to the north and visit with us. Our services have now returned to a 9:30 AM start time.
