A Parishioner is getting rid of her sewing, quilting, and crafting stuff this Saturday at St. George's hall, 11 am - 3 pm. Come for some great deals and get yourself set up for your Fall projects!
We want to highlight our churches of Meota?? One idea is to have a community CRAFT FAIR. See the poster in Connecting Meota.
Do you want a table to sell your wares? Do you want to Christmas shop early? Do you want to introduce our church to friends and neighbours in a friendly, non-pushy way? Come to the Craft Fair. See inside the newsletter for details.
There is also information on how to support relief efforts to those affected by the jasper fire.
There are the Sunday Readings, a word search and a closing prayer.

God bless you this week!
As a Companion Diocese with the Windward Islands, we have heard of the tragic events and the devastation left behind by Hurricane Beryl, and have been asked how people can help.
The PWRDF now has a fund set up specifically for hurricane relief in the Windward Islands.
Please consider making a donation to this worthy cause, as the PWRDF will know how to best direct funds.
Blessings!

Hurricane Beryl has devastated the Island of Grenada and is now a Category 4 hurricane threatening other parts of the Caribbean. Thousands of homes have been damaged or destroyed, and people need shelter, food, and clean water.
Help in Jesus’ Name is on the way from Samaritan’s Purse, including Canadian DART responders. We loaded our DC-8 cargo jet with 24 tons of heavy-duty tarps, water filtration systems, and other emergency items—plus a mobile medical unit to care for those who are injured.
The eye of the storm passed over Carriacou—part of the nation of Grenada— which has about 10,000 residents. Sadly, at least six lives were lost in the storm. We want those who have lost everything to know that God loves them and hasn’t forgotten them in the midst of their devastation.
Please pray for the people of Grenada and for those who are in the path of the storm. Please pray and support our team as they bring physical relief and the eternal hope of the Gospel to those who are hurting.
Sincerely, Franklin Graham
President, Samaritan's Purse
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
