Ladies Guild
The Ladies’ Guild is an important part of our Church life.
The Guild coordinates refreshments for receptions after church services and other special occasions such as funerals, weddings, and Presbytery meetings. The Ladies Guild also is one of the many volunteers who clean the church. Each year the Guild also has silent auction and Christmas sale. The Ladies’ Guild gives members an opportunity to become better acquainted with others in the congregation. For further information please contact Norma Fletcher.
What is the AMS?
The Atlantic Mission Society began as a women’s organization, when the official role of women in the Church was severely limited – only men could be ministers and elders, and women were rarely put in other positions of authority.Women did, however, wish to contribute actively to the work of the Church, so in 1876 they formed the Halifax Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church in Canada (Eastern Section). At the time, the Presbyterian Church in Canada had an eastern and a western mission board, and the Halifax society related to the eastern board.
In 1915, the name changed again, to the Woman’s Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church in Canada (ED). The most recent change, in 1987, to the Atlantic Mission Society, The Presbyterian Church in Canada (AMS) reflects the Society’s welcoming of both men and women to membership. As The Presbyterian Church in Canada recognized in 1966 that there was no reason women should not be ordained as ministers and elders, so the Atlantic Mission Society recognized that its work was also of interest to both women and men.
While members of the Society tend to be older members of the congregations, the mission of the church requires – as it always has – energetic and enthusiastic participation.
What is a prayer shawl?
In 1998, Janet Bristow and Victoria Galo, two graduates of the 1997 Women’s Leadership Institute at The Hartford Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut gave birth to a ministry. Compassion and the love of knitting/crocheting have been combined into a prayerful ministry and spiritual practice which reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace, as well as in celebration and joy. Many blessings are prayed into every stitch. The shawl maker begins with prayers and blessings for the recipient. The intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl. Upon completion, a final blessing is offered before the shawl is sent on its way. Some recipients have continued the kindness by making a shawl and passing it onto someone in need. Thus, the blessing ripples from person-to-person, with both the giver and receiver feeling the unconditional embrace of a sheltering, mothering God! There is a message sent with each shawl. It is prayer for the person that God gentle touch reach out to heal and this day for them.

What is One Room Sunday school?
Every week we have an exciting new adventure through the Bible in our Sunday School. One Room Sunday School is the program the church uses. Designed specifically for a children’s Christian education program where four or more age groups are taught in one classroom, One Room Sunday School includes materials that children ages 3 through middle school can study and learn together. Students will grow together through comprehensive Bible study, application of Bible lessons to everyday discipleship, and a variety of age-appropriate activities.
