: SBF's weekend : October 3-5 :

... good morning SBF. Just a quick post about this coming weekend. As you know, Friday night and Saturday your pastoral search committee, co-chaired by Bert Z and Tim D will be 'pre-interviewing' three potential pastoral candidates. Doug S sits on that committee as elder team liaison, so he will be doing double-duty for about 24 hours straight, as the elders will meet with each candidate over a meal when their interview is completed.

Doug has reminded us graciously each of the last few Sundays to be "in prayer" for this process, as it is vitally important to SBF's future. These are the first face-to-face meetings, both ways, SBF folks meeting a possible pastor, and vice versa, so ... pray!

Switching gears to this Sunday, as you know SBF took a 'love offering' for Marco Faasse and his family back in August. Marco will be speaking this week, and we are very much looking forward to hearing the amazing story of God's prompting, and moving, and re-settling the Faasses from Holland to Central Saanich. We will have the privilege of giving Marco and Magreet a cheque to offset the costs of re-locating the mobile home that was given to them from Shawnigan Lake to as close to Tsawout as we can get it.

Finally? there's has been a great response to the Fellowship Potluck Lunch. If you missed signing up? give Nina a call today or Friday. Looks to me like a couple of dozen families or individuals have signed up, and the spread looks pretty even ... but if you are coming last minute, a cheese tray, a sandwich plate, a veggies 'n dip combo would be great. I think there is room for some room for helpers to put food out as the service winds down, and also to clean up. Luke's and Nathan's name are on for dishes!

Well, that's about it. Thanks for checking in ...
