The Colour of Remembrance
Written by 11-year-old Kari Wang
If remembrance was a colour,
It would be red and white.
The colour of the Canadian flag.
If remembrance was a sound,
It would be people’s heartbeats,
The worried heartbeats of the soldiers
and the families that are waiting
for them to come home.
If remembrance was a smell,
It would be a comforting smell from home.
The cozy place that was always
welcoming to you.
If remembrance was a feeling,
It would be hopeful.
The hope of warm hugs and good friends
when you return.
If remembrance was a taste,
It would be bitter,
The bitterness of coffee without cream,
Like a family that has been split apart.
If remembrance was a place,
It would be a cenotaph.
Where names of long-ago heroes are written
on the stone for people to remember.
If remembrance has a purpose,
It is to recognize and remember all
the people that have participated in wars.
So that we could have peace and freedom.

St. James Food Bank
St. James Food Basket is once again in need of egg cartons. (Cartons for a dozen eggs or a half dozen eggs only). Please leave them in the cloakroom at Graceview and they will be taken to St. James. Thank you for your help.
Fall Devotional Update (October 12)
A new edition of These Days (October/November/December), as well as the current edition of Our Daily Bread (September/October/November) are available on the table in the church vestibule and in the devotional box on the church porch.
Scripture Readers
Please be advised that a printed copy of the psalms and the scriptures that are to be read on any given Sunday will be placed on the lectern for every Sunday worship service. It has come to our attention that some of our dear readers do not have the ability to make a copy of the readings that Halyna sends out every week. She will now be making a single copy which will be in place in case a reader is not able to have their own printed copy. This will, hopefully, prevent issues of reading the wrong scripture or the wrong version of the scripture. The printed version is exactly what appears on the screen so that everyone is on the same page!
Bible Study Dates
Please take note of the final Bible Study session
Nov. 17
Coffee/Tea Sign Up
It is time again to volunteer for coffee/tea service after worship services. The sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board in the Adamson Lounge. September is already full, but there are plenty of spots left for the remainder of the year. If you can, please sign up for multiple dates, so that we are not left short at the last minute.
Thank you
