First, Pictou, N.S., had a Best of First Sunday, which included worship (of course), lunch, storytelling about mission, education, stewardship and wishes for the congregation’s future. On our website you’ll see a photograph of that very future, bright and eager, in the form of the hand bell choir. And here, two stalwart souls who have kept First at its best for years: David Barnard has served as ruling elder for 50 years; and Alden Beck is retiring from session after 38 years.
