A very special worship service this weekend for so many reasons.

500 year ago, on the last day of October, a monk and university professor named Martin Luther set off a firestorm of change that spread through Europe. How did he do it? He did it by daring to post a bunch of radical ideas in a public place. He nailed the ideas (or theses) up to the door of a local church. We will make the five hundredth anniversary of these remarkable events in some very special ways at St. Andrew's Hespeler Presbyterian Church this Sunday.

• We will celebrate the baptism of a beautiful infant named Clara. It will be a celebration of God's gift of newness to us.
• We will enjoy some very special music from our Youth Band who will offer up "Now there is no male or female."
• Our men's ensemble, Joyful Sound! will be singing "Higher Ground."
• The sermon, which will attempt to gather together all the various threads of celebration of the day will have the following title:
  

We are ready for you this evening!

Everything is being put in place for the Silent and Live Dream Auction tonight at St. Andrew's Hespeler. Here are some of the really valuable items available in the silent auction. (See all the envelopes, they are filled with valuable gift cards). You will definitely be able to bid on many beautiful and bargain items. Silent auction (and refreshments) begin at 7:00 pm.

Potato Harvest Sunday

And the winner of the Grand Gardener contest is .......

Braydon.

Braydon grew the biggest and the smallest potato this year.

Thank you, to all of our Sunday School students, and members who grew potatoes this summer.  Thursday Night Supper & Social appreciate all of the potatoes as well as the donations of non-perishable food items.

Hespeler Rocks!

Our Holy Sherlocks class painted some of their own "Hespeler Rocks".  Yesterday they hid them outside after worship.  Can you find and re-hide any?
