ELEANOR BLACK – Passed away on September 12, 2022. She was predeceased by her parents Mary and Steve Angi, her husband Alexander and young daughter Marsha. She will be missed by her son Les, daughter-in-law Karen and grandson Xander. She was a member of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church where she served in such areas as Church Council, ushering and in several other ways.

Reminder – “Raising Funds for School Lunches” Due This Weekend
Remember to bring your spare coins, that you’ve been saving over the summer, to this Sunday’s service. This is an excerpt from the June 12th worship guide explaining the proposed and adapted program, which started that Sunday and ends this weekend.
“We all could save up loose change we find beginning now and wrapping up Labour Day Weekend. We’d count up how much we all collected and then convert the coin to a cheque or cash and present it to agencies that provide school lunches for kids (Port Cares in Port Colborne, and Diamond Trail School in Welland).
I would give ‘for keeps’ pottery pieces as collection dishes/jars for anyone who would want one.” – Pastor Bart
