INTIMATION DECLARING A CHARGE VACANT
In consequence of the retirement of the Rev. Bruce W. Kemp, formerly minister of the pastoral charge of
St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Chesterville, St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, Winchester and Morewood Presbyterian Church, Morewood, the Presbytery of Seaway-Glengarry hereby intimates and declares the charge to be vacant and calls upon all parties concerned to proceed, according to the laws and practice of the church, to the obtaining of a minister to fill the vacancy.

January 1, 2021 Mrs. Donna McIlveen, clerk
Johnstown, Ontario The Presbytery of Seaway-Glengarry

The congregations of St. Paul’s, Winchester, St. Andrew’s, Chesterville and Morewood Presbyterian Church would like to thank Reverend Bruce Kemp for his eight years of dedication, service and friendship. We wish Bruce all the best in his retirement.

I am reaching out to inform you of an upcoming nutrition program we are offering virtually at Seaway Valley Community Health Centre that may interest some families at your church or that you know in the community: “Stretching Your Family Food Dollar” (see attached poster).

This program will run January 18th to February 1st, Monday evenings from 5 – 6:30pm.

This short three week program reviews:

How to make a food budget and stick to it
Money saving strategies at the grocery store
How to use coupons/weekly flyers/apps
How to meal plan and create wholesome, cost-effective balanced meals for the whole family
Cooking demonstrations

Although we continue to hear the need for a program like this, we are having trouble getting enough people to join the class to actually hold it. We are hoping you can share the poster at your church where people can see it and spread the word!

Thanks so much in advance!

Happy Holidays to you and the whole Clapp gang! Best wishes in 2021.
