Greetings! We are a gathering of imperfect people doing our best to follow a perfect Lord. We worship in person and online on Sunday mornings at 10:30am and would love to have you join us! We are back in our sanctuary after a summer of exploring different traditions and elements of worship. We will also continue to broadcast live from our FaceBook platform, as well as offer virtual worship through our YouTube Channel.
There is much happening as we look forward to the next couple of months:
Friday mornings 10am-noon
Drop in for coffee, conversations and snacks
Mondays – GleeClub Resumes after school
3pm – 4:30pm on School day Mondays – an afternoon dedicated to our young people Grades 3-8
Monday November 21– 10:30am – Chair Yoga with Janice Renshaw
(yoga sessions will be every other Monday Morning at the church from October to December)
We are blessed to offer opportunities to grieve together: join us for a special Taize service of grief at the end of November:
And then, on December 12th we gather with Norfolk Haldimand Hospice in the our Fellowship Hall:
We also look forward to sharing the joy and waiting of the Advent Season as the churches of Caledonia come together for a special Sunday evening service of Song and Scripture:
We also give thanks to so many for their support, including our fall recycling drives!
Tuesday October 29th – 7pm Evening Taize Service
An interactive candlelit evening service of contemplation
We love music here at Caledonia Presbyterian Church. Do you like to sing? Come join our choir! Our Choir practices on Wednesday evening at 7pm, and they sing an anthem for worship every other Sunday morning. You don’t have to read music – just a love of singing is all that’s required.
Meanwhile, If you or someone you know might be in need, please reach out. The church number is 905-765-4524 and my home number is 519-587-4268.
Blessings and love,
Pastor Janice

God continues to make house calls…. and the Lord is with us always. We worship in person in the sanctuary as well as through the FaceBook Live platform on Sunday mornings at 10:30am.
This world has continued to place our faith family in new and challenging situations. Our first priority continues to be the safety and well being of our members and community, making sure everyone has the supplies and support needed at this time. If you, or someone you know, might be in need of anything, please call the church, or our Clerk Kathy Johnson, or Pastor Janice directly.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Our situation remains changing and fluid, and guidelines may change as the world changes around us. We appreciate your prayers and patience as we step out into the future journey together.
Yours in Christ
The Session and Board Teams of Caledonia Presbyterian Church
Thank you for your continued love and support; many of you have my home phone number. It is 519-587-4268. If anyone is in need, or knows someone else who might be, please let me know. I will help whenever and wherever I can. Many of us are carrying burdens in different ways, and life was/is difficult enough without the epidemic that swept the world. May we continue to check up on each other. May we be able to offer some sort of love and hope in this difficult situation. May we never take for granted those things we cannot enjoy right now. And may we pray:
We arise today through God’s shelter to steady us. For God’s Hope to lead us and God’s wisdom to call us. May Christ console those whose hearts are full of fear. May the Spirit give us words to speak comfort, and eyes to notice the need for help. May we have Christ’s hands in reaching out to help others, even amidst the social distancing. God, we plead, we cry, we fear. Yet we place our trust in You. May we arise as your people as we emerge in the midst of these times. In the powerful name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
Peace and Blessings and love to you all,
Pastor Janice
