Greetings.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in Saturday’s Polar Bear Swim for the Special Olympics.  Here are some photos and more.

This Sunday is Anointing with Oil for Healing at both services, 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.  Anyone who wishes is invited forward, much like Communion by Intinction, to receive this anointing and a prayer. You can come forward for healing in your life or for someone you love.  Mark 8: 31-38.   The opening hymn at the 10 a.m. service can be heard in advance here.  One of the songs from that 11:30 a.m. service can be heard in advance here.

There is amazing news from Judy P. and Jim M., who have secured a grant of $7000 from the Creative Ministry and Youth Ministry Fund from the Presbyterian Church in Canada.  Stay tuned for news on how this grant will be invested in ministry at Briarwood and in the community.

Best wishes,

Greg
