Can you help us sing our praise to our Lord? St. Andrew’s Church in Arnprior is looking for a choir director to lead our choir (and congregation) in praise and celebration. Our choir is excited to be singing together again and we are looking forward to singing God’s praise in the assembly of His people. If you can join us – or know someone we could invite to join us – please contact the church.

The summer addition of the PCC Connection newspaper
The Presbyterian Connection newspaper is a Christian newspaper that strives to unite Presbyterians from across the country through stories, reflections, interviews and articles, allowing us to share and develop our faith. It is distributed four times per year, free of charge. The Presbyterian Connection is produced by the Life and Mission Agency and was first launched in March 2017, following the closure of the Presbyterian Record magazine.

Every year it is a blessing to witness the generosity and faithfulness of Presbyterians across Canada as they support the work of The Presbyterian Church in Canada.
Despite the uncertainty and chaos of 2020, congregations, individuals, foundations, estates, the Women’s Missionary Society and Atlantic Mission Society generously gave over $9 million to the mission and ministry we do together.
-
$5.63 million was given to Presbyterians Sharing to support ministry in Canada and around the world;
-
$2.17 million was given to Presbyterian World Service & Development for international development and relief programs;
-
$391,000 was given for other special projects: Indigenous, international, Canadian, justice, the museum and more;
-
$810,000 given in bequests to The Presbyterian Church in Canada and $1.39 million added to PWS&D’s Loaves and Fishes Fund are helping support mission and ministry into the future.
These gifts are making a difference as we work together to put our faith into action. Together we are equipping congregations, starting new faith communities, supporting international partners, empowering youth, encouraging new ministers, equipping theological students, supporting Indigenous ministries, responding to emergencies, breaking cycles of poverty, pursuing justice—and so much more.
Thank you for your generous gifts!
