Nan is leading a four session study on "Our Words of Faith: Cherished, Honoured and Living" on Thursday evenings November 3, 10, 17, 24 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Mark's. Between January and May 2012, each pastoral charge and presbytery is being asked in a remit whether to include each of three statements in the Doctrine section of the Basis of Union of the United Church of Canada. This study will begin to prepare us for this remit as we study the Statement of Faith (1940), A New Creed (1968; rev. 1980, 1994) and A Song of Faith (2006).

ST. MARK’S ANNOUNCEMENTS
Members of St. Mark’s Congregation have formed a committee to compile a cookbook and we want your “tried and true” favorite recipes. If you want to share your recipes, please type them up and forward to Ruth MacRae at angus.macrae@sympatico.ca or write them up and put on the collection plate and I will type them up. We’re looking for recipes in all categories. This cookbook will be an excellent fundraiser for our church, so pass on your recipes. Any anecdotes re the origin of your recipe(s) or any other comments are most welcome.”
