An Opportunity for Learning
There has been expressed interest in St. Thomas' Walkerton for the EfM (Education for Ministry) program. It would meet weekly (probably a combination of online and in-person) – day and time to be decided by the eventual group. There is a cost of $350 (we get a bit of a deal as a sponsoring Diocese), plus cost of the 5 books for the program which could be downloaded e-books or even shared among participants.
EfM is a seminar format (led by Shirl+ as a trained mentor) and delves into theology and church history, guided by the extensive manual provided to all participants. It is not strictly a Bible study, although the Bible enters the conversation along with the other materials.
It is open to anyone (Anglican or non) interested in exploring matters of the faith in a secure, non-threatening environment.
NB: in spite of its name, EfM is in no way designed to lead to ordained ministry; it is for “every-member ministry” to which we are all called. It is open to everyone wishing to engage in study and conversation about our Christian life and tradition. Typically, the 1-year “Wide-Angle” program runs from September to spring,
so would begin in September 2026.
Link to the EfM Canada website is here: http://www.efmcanada.ca/
Note that the website focuses on the 4-year full EfM program, but there is a new 1-year “Wide Angle” program which I am proposing to offer here. For more information or to express interest, please feel free to contact Rev. Shirl Christian by email shirljc@wightman.ca or phone 519-313-0809.
I have more info on the Wide-Angle program that I could email out if interested.
Together, we're building a healthier tomorrow
With faith and hope, our community is coming together with a bold goal — to raise $18 million in support of an expanded and redeveloped Kincardine hospital. This homegrown effort has already raised $12 million and will bring modern care closer to home, including the area's very first MRI. A hospital redevelopment is key to attracting doctors, nurses and other health care staff to our area. The hospital Foundation would appreciate your support by way of donation; spreading the word; or volunteering.

Church of the Messiah
"Come In From The Cold"
The Outreach Committee is planning a new venture
and we are reaching out for your help.
Every Thursday, the Food Bank clients line up outside
the church waiting, sometimes for an hour,
for their turn.
With the weather turning colder, we propose that
we invite them into the church beginning
the first week of November.
The second step would be to offer them
hot drinks and thirdly a cup of hot soup which we would serve from crockpots.
All of this will be done in stages.
Please consider stepping up to lend a helping hand. If you have questions contact the church office
email: circlef2185@gmail.com
or telephone: 519-396-2185.
Thank you from the Outreach Committee: Sue Greco, Mary Beth Dennis, Mary Baux
"Share with the Lord's people who are in need, practice hospitality."
