The Upper Room Bible Explorations

the "Upper Room" in the tower continues to be

will continue to be offered during the summer through
July 4 – August 1 while joint services are being
held at GStJ, but will be discontinued during August 8
– September 5 while joint services are at St. Giles.
We hope we will see you until August and that you will

Haiti:
Images and Voices
David Lee spoke on the situation in Haiti. Our church
will be collecting a special offering to be sent to the
UCC Emergency Fund for Haiti.
Stephen
Lewis Foundation - African lunch and recipes
$2584.75 was raised and will go to the projects involving
the African grandmothers and their grandchildren. All
the Grannies are delighted with the response and the amount
of money raised.
Doug Davidson Building Fund
In October of 2008, we created this fund as a way to finance
future building and restoration projects. In January and
then again in June, we voted on a major project to update
our heating system and to correct problems with our foundation
that have led to serious flooding. Thus, our church committed
itself to raising at least $500,000 over the next five
years. Immediate financing has been secured from Ottawa
Presbytery, but loan repayment will be an ongoing challenge.
If you are in a position to make a pledge towards this
fund, please contact us at the info@glebestjames.ca.
Or, if you're willing to participate in our fund raising
activities, we'd love to have your input.
