Christmas Musicale

December 6, 2009

It’s a late update, but today at 3:00 PM, the Christmas Musicals (called Carols and Crackers this year) will be taking place at Peterborough Temple!

If you want to have a good time singing carols with the congregation, you still have a chance to make it out!


And as fall gets rolling….

September 29, 2009

Be sure to check out some of the different programs we have starting up!

There’s a traditional-style Bible study being held at 7 PM on Wednesdays in the church basement which may interest those who want to increase their knowledge of God’s word. There’s also a small group Bible study geared around young adults being held at 8 PM on Wednesday, at a member’s house each week.

Our worship services are also back to their normal 10:45 start times, as well as a variety of other individual events going on!

It’s always exciting to get back into the swing of things after a lazy summer. So come on out to meet people and get doing again!


Beavermead Park Services: Starting Today!

July 5, 2009

This is just a reminder that today at 6:30, our summer tradition of holding services in Beavermead park services will be starting again!

Weather permitting, the service will involve some song and a message from our pastor. There’s always lots of green space and good fellowship at these events, and it is an opportunity to be visible to people at the park who wouldn’t otherwise come out to a Sunday morning service.

The deadline for weather is 5:00 PM. If it is raining heavily at that point, chances are the service will be canceled. We will also post here on the website whether it has been canceled or not — I should be one of the first to know since I’m helping to set up.

Looking forward to seeing you at Beavermead!

One specific item which we would have your attention for is the need for a van driver on Sunday mornings from July 5th to July 19th. Bernie, who kindly volunteers to pick up members who are unable to drive themselves to church on Sundays, is going to be taking vacation, and we would appreciate it if someone else were able to continue the service over the month of July. If you are able to do so, please contact Bernie at 705-742-0021.


Redesigning the Peterborough Salvation Army Site

June 17, 2009

Hey everyone.

Over the last couple of days, things have progressed at an interesting pace. For a long while, I’ve been meaning to create a site from scratch to replace the one which was running for a while. The motivation for this was to streamline the interface, and make it easy to update with news and other items rather than running across the scattered pages upon pages which had been built up over time.

After some work and a couple failed attempts, however, I chose to go the route of using a WordPress.com site to link to the Peterborough Salvation Army. This will give the streamlined interface, and helps to reduce the workload on me! Hopefully this way I can get back to working on coordinating news and perhaps attract some attention to the website!

Hoepfully, you can bear with me as all of this gets up and running. I plan to have a beautiful alternative to the old site by the time I’m done, and one which will be far easier to use for most of our members!

God bless,

-Ben
