On October 6 and again on October 20, the Sunday church service will be at 3:00 PM instead of in the morning. 

Rev. Sheila Cook will be leading the service which will also include communion. The change of worship time to the afternoon is necessary because Sheila is leading worship in Alert Bay on Sunday morning. Fellowship and coffee/tea will be available both before and after the service.

On September 19, 2024 Vancouver School of Theology President Richard Topping and Chancellor Catherine Evan were delighted to present Sheila Cook and Krishna Durbha with their awards during the Chancellor's Dinner.
