Beyond the Walls – Prepare for a New Creation 
  
“How blessed the day when the lamb and the lion shall lie down together in peace with a child.” The vision of new heavens and a new earth in Isaiah 65:17-25 not only inspired our most beloved hymn but are central to Community of Christ mission and theology. This Sunday, the pastor of the Beyond the Walls congregation, John Hamer, explores this scripture and the theme “Prepare for a New Creation” in his sermon. Our choir premieres CCS 12 “You Are My God,” and we will close the service singing “The Spirit of God.” We hope to see you there on Sunday, November 13, at 12:00 PM or 6:00 PM EST.

“Talking Turkey About Climate Policy”
 
Where: ZOOM Online Ministry
​

We’re delighted to announce the return of climate advocate Randy Litzenberger, who will present a clear and understandable summary of the new Inflation Reduction Act, recently signed into law in the United States. A sweeping series of policies, the Act will move the USA forward in addressing climate change on several fronts. But what will happen after changes occur in Congress? 

Randy presents a hopeful scenario that will surprise and please you. In addition there will be practical suggestions for talking to elected officials about how best to implement the policies and accelerate progress.

Following Randy’s presentation, a video by climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe will provide practical guidance on how to talk to family and friends about climate change. Get prepared for your holiday gatherings, with ideas for sharing with people who don’t yet share your concerns about climate crises and carbon emissions.

Harry Price
Wednesday, April 18th, 1923 – Saturday, October 29th, 2022

It is with great sadness that the family of Harry Price announce his passing on October 29, 2022 in his 100th year of a wonderful life. He will be lovingly remembered by his children Judy (Lee), Ken (Sue), Scott (Tammy) and Debbie (Brody). Harry will also be dearly remembered by his grandchildren Darren, Christine, Amanda, Austin, Candace and Alexa and great-grandchildren Turner, Keira and Ryder.

Harry was such a special man to so many people for all his genuine acts of kindness and his role as Santa Claus for many years. In addition to his dedication to our family, community and his church as an ordained minister for many years, Harry sacrificed 5 years of his youth serving his country in WWII. Lest we forget.

Harry is now reunited with his beautiful wife Gladys (2014) after 67 years of marriage together and 8 years apart after her passing. We will love and remember him forever.
 
Visitation will be held at the Dods & McNair Funeral Home, Chapel & Reception Centre, 21 First St., Orangeville on Thursday, November 3rd, 2022 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Funeral Service will be held at Dods & McNair Funeral Home on Friday, November 4th, 2022 at 11:00 am. Memorial donations to Heart & Stroke Foundation or Sick Kids Hospital would be appreciated by the family.

A tree will be planted in memory of Harry in the Dods & McNair Memorial Forest at the Island Lake Conservation Area, Orangeville. 21st Annual Dedication Service will be held on Sunday, September 10, 2023 at 2:00 p.m.

Condolences may be offered to the family at www.dodsandmcnair.com.

Scarborough will be holding an online Remembrance Day service on Thursday November 10th at 7 p.m. In-person commemoration of this day will be difficult, so we would like to invite anyone and everyone to attend.  It is always a very special, moving service.

Consider these questions during the week. As you consider the world and community around you, what are you grateful for? 

• What sound is a blessing to you?
• What place is a blessing to you?
• What friend is a blessing to you?

What church friend is a blessing to you?
