• Welcome to those who are worshipping with us during this month from Rosedale United Church, and all our visitors. Please join us for refreshments in the Great Hall immediately following our worship service.

• Our Sympathy is extended to the Bandeen family on the death of Bob on Monday of this past week. A family, graveside funeral was conducted by the Bill MacLellan yesterday in Rodney, ON (south of London). A memorial service is planned for late September here at RPC, and the details will be announced soon.

MOVIE NIGHT - Friday, September 24th, 6:00 p.m. at the Manse:
Everyone is invited to join in on the first movie night of the season and a pot luck dinner. The movie to be discussed is "LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE" and Irene King has two DVD copies of the movie available at Coffee Hour today. Please sign the Interest Sheet to borrow a copy and return the movie to the church within one week or less. Also, you are asked to indicate your Pot Luck contribution. The MacLellans will be providing the main dish so appetizers, sides, salads, wine and desserts would be appreciated.
MOVIE OVERVIEW: The Hoover family treks from Albuquerque to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in Redondo Beach, California, to fulfill the deepest wish of 7-year-old Olive, an ordinary little girl with big dreams. Along the way the family must deal with crushed dreams, heartbreaks, and a broken-down VW bus, leading up to the surreal Little Miss Sunshine competition itself. On their travels through this bizarre landscape, the Hoovers learn to trust and support each other along the path of life, no matter what the challenge.

Canadian Government to Match Pakistan Flood Donations
In response to the devastating destruction caused by Pakistan's floods, the Canadian Government will be matching donations made by individual Canadians to registered Canadian charitable organizations - including PWS&D - for flood relief efforts from August 2 until September 12, 2010.

"The Government of Canada will use the Pakistan Floods Relief Fund to provide assistance through experienced Canadian and international humanitarian and development organizations with significant in-country capacity, as per established channels and procedures" (CIDA press release). As such, your financial support at this time will make twice as many funds available for the affected families in Pakistan.

Your donation to PWS&D will support the distribution of food, shelter, emergency supplies and medical care for over 150,000 of the most affected people in the provinces of Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (North West Frontier Province and Swat Valley).

The people of Pakistan need your prayers and financial support to recover and rebuild from this disaster. You can make a donation to PWS&D using the third line of your RPC envelope or donating on line through the PCC web site.

Visit www.presbyterian.ca/pwsd/pakistan for more details. Presbyterian World Service & Development is the development and relief agency of The Presbyterian Church in Canada.
