Greeter Practice Session — Sunday, October 4
A warm greeting as people arrive for Sunday worship helps create a welcoming experience. If you would like to learn or practice these skills, please join us for a practice session after the service on October 4.

Christmas Choir — Sunday, October 18
Love to sing? Join our Christmas Choir! All singers are welcome—whether you’re a seasoned vocalist or just enjoy singing. Come help us celebrate the joy of Christmas through music!

Worship Leader Practice Session — Sunday, October 25
We’ll offer a practical teaching session on good vocal habits that help you lead worship well—especially when using a microphone. All worship leaders and aspiring vocalists are welcome!

Community Outreach

SKSS Homework Café Volunteers Needed
We are looking for volunteers to help with the SKSS Homework Café, which will run on Tuesdays from 11:20–12:05. Volunteers can help in two ways:

• Purchase snacks for students — the church will cover the cost.
• Help students with their homework, particularly in math and science.

Police record checks must be completed in advance. Talk to Steve if you would like to help or want more information.

Salvation Army Food Barrel
As food prices continue to rise, many families are struggling to make ends meet. Our Salvation Army food barrel is now in the Narthex and will be emptied regularly. Please give generously and help support our neighbours in need.
