MISSION CAPSULES: Our gifts to Presbyterian Sharing ... support Keswick Presbyterian Church. After 12 years of worshipping in a rented space at the Georgina Ice Palace in Keswick, Ontario, the congregation is now delighted to have it's own building. The Reverends Kirk and Allyson MacLeod write, "Keswick Presbyterian Church is now in a facility. We have a lawn to mow, a driveway to plow, and bathrooms to clean. But they are all ours! We now can hold youth events in our own church. We can now have fundraising events in our building. We can now have meetings and choir and worship team practice in our home. But even more, we can welcome new faces to our very own church." The congregation is very grateful for the support it has received from Presbyterians Sharing.

More about Grandparents:

Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good good things, but I don't get to see him enough to get as smart as him!

My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo and said, "No, how are we alike?" ........ "You are both old" he replied.

Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said the teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked. "Sure." said the young boy, "it means carrying a child."
