Bible Study Every Friday morning at Kirkwall Church at 10 a.m., we are hosting a Bible study, with the leadership by Keith Marcy. Everyone is welcome to attend, and previous knowledge of scripture is not required. We will be studying how the New Testament came to be, and an overview of each of the 27 books. We are encouraged to learn together and share questions, at this casual group.
An evening Bible Study will begin on Friday November 20th at 7:30 at the home of Keith and Nora Marcy, 1747 Valens Rd. Everyone is welcome.
Remembrance Sunday November 8th Please plan to join us next Sunday when we remember those who served in the wars, and the families and communities who supported the soldiers at home. Kim Thompson has decorated the sanctuary very beautifully for Remembrance Day.
Homecoming weekend Please join us for a Homecoming Weekend for our 193rd Kirkwall Church anniversary, on November 14th & 15th.
On Saturday November 14th we will have a special worship service beginning at 3:30 p.m. with a gospel music concert led by Norm Hughes and the musicians from the Men’s Breakfast, and a message by Rev. Jakob Koch, followed by a potluck supper at 5:15 p.m.. Please bring a potluck dish to share.

Bodies in Motion Classes – Annalise Clarkson will be leading a movement class on November 26th, beginning at 6:30 p.m. You will learn to connect with your body through gentle movement and breath, focusing on presence, balance, body awareness and posture while building strength, confidence and improving mobility. We encourage you to come for gentle exercise while sitting on a chair. Free event.
$1500 Donation to Local Charities At our Kirkwall Annual Meeting on February 15, 2026, we agreed to donate a total of $1500 to local charities before year-end. We would like your suggestions of worthy local non profit organizations so the Session can make a final decision. The money can be split 2 or 3 ways, to support local charities. Please send your suggestions to Norma Reeve.
Hat, Sock and Mitten tree For the month of December, we will be decorating a tree downstairs with hats, socks and mittens to be donated to Manchester Public School, where the teachers will discretely distribute these items to students who need some help. Many young children are new to Canadian winters, so let’s give them a gift of warmth. Each year a different school is chosen.
Appeal for Nursery Caregivers. If you would like to take a turn to provide care for the little ones in nursery, please let Norma Reeve know. You will need a vulnerable sector police check, which can be done online, and you can be reimbursed for the small fee. Please consider this fun and rewarding way to interact with the eager children.
