C. At the request of the congregation, the church’s General Maintenance conducted a monitoring of carbon dioxide levels in the main sanctuary for the past few weeks. It was found that the CO2 levels were elevated, leading to deterioration of the air quality. An HVAC specialist was engaged by GM to perform further assessment and adjustment on the ventilation system. The overall air quality has improved, and the CO2 is back to normal level since last Sunday.

D. A Thanksgiving food drive will be held at church for the month of October. Please bring non-perishable food items to church for donation. The food will be sent to Gibson Centre Food Bank when the collection ends.

The membership list has been posted on the church bulletin board for members’ reference (updated on October 1, 2025). If you have any questions, please contact the church office.

The ECB meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 7 at 7pm via Zoom. All coworkers please attend.
