1.      Pastoral Care: Rev. Ellen Beairsto 

2.      Remembrance Day Luncheon: On Wednesday November 11 from noon to 1:30, Forest Hill United Church 45 Kimble Court, off Forest Hill Road, will be serving a luncheon with a war time menu of Baked Beans, Brown Bread and War Cake, Tea, Coffee or Juice.  Take out meals are available and there are tables if you wish to enjoy your meal in the hall.  Libby and Brian Cassidy and friends will be playing war and peace music during the meal.  Adults are $12.00 and children $6.00.  If you can help prepare food, set up or serve please contact Mary. Sign up sheet to reserve meals is at the back. Assistance with baking, set up and clean-up is needed.  Sign-up sheets for these are at the back. 

3.      Rainbow Potluck Brunch:  Forest Hillers have been invited to participate on Saturday, November 14th at 10 am in the parlour at Wilmot United Church.  All 2SLGBTQIA+ people and allies are welcome.  Mitchell Goodine (a drag performer with the stage name of Amour Love) will be the guest speaker.  Contact Wilmot's office (506-458-1066) if you have any questions.

4.      Mark your calendars for Sunday 15 Nov 2026:  Ian Manson will lead worship and afterwards we will have a light lunch (details still to be decided) and then the second of our visioning sessions.  Missed the first one?  No problem.  While this session will use the material from the September discussion as a jumping-off point, it has a different purpose.  We will be making a decision on the primary focus for Forest Hill going forward.  Ministry and community go beyond Sunday worship and everyone who feels a connection to Forest Hill is welcome to participate.  More details to follow in the coming weeks.

5.      Music Coordinator: We have relaunched the search for the rebranded Music Coordinator position at FHUC.  If you know of any local pianists/keyboardists, please invite them to look at the revised job description on the church's website.

6.      Local Outreach:  During November, we will be collecting items for Feed the Lions (the food program at Leo Hayes High School).  A list of desired items is on the box beside the Food Bank box.  Please only donate items that are on the list that was provided by the school.  Since students bring these items home in their backpacks, do not donate anything in glass jars (due to possible breakage) or any jumbo or family sized items (as they are too large to easily fit with other things in backpacks).  Anything that does not meet these criteria will be redirected to Greener Village.

7.      Book Club: Tuesday December 8 at 1:00 in the parlour. The book is The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemmingway.

8.      Looking for a card for a birthday, or other occasion? Handcrafted cards are available at very reasonable prices from the box at the back of the sanctuary, or on the Library Cart. These cards were handcrafted by some of the women in the church. If you can’t find the box, ask Joan Mitchell to assist you.
