Christ the King Sunday – November 24, 2024

Posted on November 24, 2024 by stmatthewswelland

Today’s worship was held at St. Luke’s Lutheran, in Ridgeway.  All six congregations worshipped together to welcome Bishop Carla Blakley, who was just elected Bishop at the Eastern Synod Assembly last June. We were also privileged to hear the Bishop read the Gospel and deliver the sermon today. The video and transcript link below is provided for those who could not attend the service today. Following the service a bountiful and delicious luncheon was served. Welcome Bishop Blakley!

Who’s the Artist?

Posted on November 18, 2024 by stmatthewswelland

While cleaning out the basement of our church recently, this water colour painting was found among the clutter. It measures about 40 inches by 33 inches. There is nothing on it to identify the artist or when it was painted. If you have any ideas about it’s origin, please leave a comment in the comment box below. Thank you.

A Bit of History About The “For King and Country” Honour Roll

Posted on November 14, 2024 by stmatthewswelland

As you walk into church, you probably have noticed the “For King and Country” Honour Roll hanging  on the back wall. It is also prominently displayed, at the front of the church, on Remembrance Sunday in November.

This style of an Honour Roll was designed by A.J. Casson (Group of Seven artist) when he worked at Sampson-Matthews, a prominent midtown Toronto lithography and commercial art company.

More information about A.J. Casson can  be found by clicking the link in the previous paragraph and HERE.

*Thank you Ray B. for pointing out this interesting bit of history one Sunday morning.*
