 as Rector of St Andrew’s and St Mark’s Officiants, Bishop Barry Clarke and Archdeacon Michael Johnson Refreshments to follow NEWS Healthy skepticism: Thursday, Oct 16, from 1:30 to 3:30, is the first session of an Adult Learning Series called Jesus for the Non-Religious, prepared by Bishop John Sprong, the well-known theological progressive.

Harvest Sunday: The Altar Guild depends on our donations to make the church beautiful. They will decorate on the morning of Saturday, Oct 11. Donations can be brought in Friday between 1 and 4 and left on a pew at the back, or on Saturday morning but please, no later than 9 a.m. Sighting of the Evans: Pat Waterston reports that on vacation this summer she and daughters Nancy and Anne made a side trip to Tadoussac, where they had a brief visit with Jane and Alan Evans at their new home. Tadoussac is about eight hours’ drive from Dorval, and it’s beautiful. The Waterstons took a Saguenay cruise, and saw beluga whales. Cutting the grass: Our thanks to Jean Dandurand, who responded to the appeal for a used lawnmower. Outreach reminder: The parish supports Dorval Community Aid by providing nonperishable food items for its food pantry. Donations may be left in the white box in the entrance. Parishioners also take toiletries, new socks, underwear and used clothing in good condition to St Michael’s Mission. Please leave items in the red barrel in the coatroom. Thank you for your ongoing support! Kudos to our lay leaders: Note that Yvonne Wakeland led us in morning prayer one Sunday in August, and Margaret Beattie spoke on Sept 28 about her camino in Spain. Corrections to our summer issue: We elevated the Rev Elizabeth Welch to a doctorate. In fact, she is working toward a second master ’s degree. Also, Pat Yeomans says the year that little photo of her was taken in front of the original church would have been 1954 or ’55. Help wanted: We need more sidespeople, greeters and readers in our inclusive worship services. Just speak to Maureen Shields or to Francie. And don’t forget, the choir is always looking for new blood. ! G R A N D W E AT H E R , G R E AT R E S U LTS Bake table, clothing, furniture, snack bar, books — they brought in $3,270.45 on Sept 27, a tribute to cooperation, energy, and the leadership of Trevor Smith, who also took these photos.

Rex Buckland was Most Honest Golfer, bless him. ! BOOK CLUB WELCOMES READERS Jennifer Gibb reports that the Book Club has lost a significant number of members this year. “We have about an hour of book discussion and then an hour of tea, goodies and general conversation to round out the evening.” The meetings are held at members’ homes. Why not join them? Call Jennifer at 514-631-3601. Here is the fall lineup of books and dates. Wednesday, Oct 22, 7:30 pm: Christ the Lord, Out of Egypt, by Anne Rice. The well-known author of gothic fiction (Interview with the Vampire) and erotica recently embarked on a series about the adventures of Jesus, written in the first person.“It wasn't all that hard to see this coming,” says one reviewer. “Rice's vampire fiction has always centred on characters of extraordinary powers and destinies wrestling with oversize ontological questions, and she returned to the Roman Catholic Church in 1998.” Wednesday, Nov 19, 7:30 pm: The Pilot’s Wife, by Anita Shreve. Recently widowed, the central character of this novel must deal not only with her grief but with a secret her husband may have been keeping. Shreve’s previous bestseller was The Weight of Water. Wednesday, Dec 10, time TBA, Christmas supper meeting: The Hundred-Foot Journey, by Richard Morais. Also a film, this is a light-hearted tale of a feud between two adjacent restaurants, one operated by a recently relocated Indian family and the other by a Michelinstarred chef, played in the film by Helen Mirren. NOVEMBER 2: HYMNS GALORE On All Saints and All Souls Sunday, Nov 2, at our 10 am service, we will sing the most requested hymns recently submitted by the congregation: In the Garden, Jesus Bids Us Shine, Take My Life and Let It Be, Abide with Me, Amazing Grace, Praise my Soul the King of Heaven, Sister Let Me Be Your Servant, Here I am Lord, Praise the Lord with the Sound of Trumpet, Now Thank We All Our God, How Great Thou Art, Rock of Ages, Be Thou My Vision, Will You Come and Follow Me. Parishioners are offered the donate to donate by sponsoring these hymns in memory of loved ones. Before each hymn is sung, the names of those to whom the hymn is dedicated will be read aloud. All funds received will go toward the renewal of the basement hall floor. Put your donation in an envelope with your name and envelope number. Return it to the office, give it to a sidesperson, corporation member or place it on the collection plate on Sunday. Please mark on your cheque or envelope “for Nov 2 Hymn Sing.” Come and enjoy a time of musical fellowship to raise support for our basement hall project on Sunday, November 2. SONGS OF PRAYER AND PRAISE Hymns have a rich tradition that extends beyond Christianity. Did you know that an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, Akhenaten, wrote a hymn? He wasn’t the only one. Martin Luther, the fiery 16th-century Protestant reformer, wrote many hymns, including A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, which is sung today even by Catholics. Luther and his followers often used their chorales, as they called them, to teach the faith to worshippers. At first, Christian hymns were strictly based on the psalms and other biblical texts, but Isaac Watts felt that the faithful should be able to sing about Jesus, so he wrote his first hymn, Behold the Glories of the Lamb, while still a teenager. Charles Wesley, the founder of Methodism, gave hymns a new focus on self-expression. His hymns led to a new style in America called gospel, and fervent evangelistic hymns sung at “crusades” for the faith, often with a militaristic flair and marching rhythm. The Methodist Revival of the 18th century created an explosion of hymn-writing in Wales and a robust musical tradition. Instead of having a specialized choir, entire congregations would sing in four-part harmony from memory. The longing for freedom and respite by African-American slaves gave us some of our most beautiful hymns, which they called spirituals. Some of the catchiest melodies we sing in church today were appropriated from folk music, even bawdy drinking songs. As the saying goes, “The Devil has the best tunes.” In an effort to make hymns more informal and accessible, many churches are using electronic keyboards, drums, guitars and screens with “follow the bouncing ball.” The Anglican musical tradition is our crowning glory. Not long ago, the BBC commissioned a survey to find out the top 100 hymns in the United Kingdom. Leading the hit parade was How Great Thou Art. Here’s the rest of the Top 10. See how many you know. In Christ Alone — Be Still, For the Presence of the Lord — Dear Lord and Father of Mankind — Here I Am, Lord; and Can It Be — Abide With Me — Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer — Make Me a Channel of Your Peace — The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, is Ended HYMN SING - SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2! 10 o’clock Morning Prayer! ! Featuring international concert artist and Juno nominee Philippe Bélanger ! Friday, November 7, 2014 Parish of St. Andrew and St. Mark 865 Lakeshore Drive, Dorval, QC ! Tickets: $15 Reservations: (514) 631-3601 …a kaleidoscope of organ music on St. Mark’s recently enhanced and enlarged organ A Galaxy of Sound Sponsored in part by YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE THIS GUY Our November 7 fundraiser features 
 a world-class organist playing a secular program When Philippe Bélanger was only nine years old he was named official organist of St Paul’s Church in Aylmer, Quebec. Since then, he has been the organist at St Joseph’s Oratory, Notre Dame Cathedral-Basilica in Ottawa, St Matthias Church in Westmount, the Presbyterian College, and the Grey Nuns’ Mother House, among other institutions. But this concert will be of secular music — show tunes, familiar pieces played as you’ve never heard them before, musical novelties and virtuoso turns. We can’t charge downtown prices, which this concert deserves, so you’re getting a bargain when you buy your $15 ticket, but we need to fill the church. If every active parishioner sells 10 tickets, we’ll be well on our way. This is going to be a great evening. Buy your tickets, and more for your neighbours, from Jennifer Gibb in the church office. Shaping up through CLAY by Antoinette Lynch-Joseph CLAY is an abbreviation for Canadian Lutheran Anglican Youth Gatherings, which take place somewhere in Canada every year. This year CLAY took place in Kamloops, British Columbia, on the theme Worth It. The more than 800 participants, aged 14 to 19, were asked to think about what they are looking for in terms of their faith and their future. It’s something that cannot be answered in just a few days, but it’s a start. During the four days there were LGGs, large group gatherings, filled with music, praise, and from our keynote speaker from Ireland, Scott Evans, words of wisdom that were inspirational, saddening and true. We took a liking to him right off the bat. Besides the day events, at which we worked together and learned from each other, there were night events for those who wanted to chill out and relax or have some more fun before midnight worship. At Sunday worship the singing and the youth drumming groups left many people with wonderful memories. We also worshipped at the Wild Life Centre, outside, in nature. The Ministry Projects, an innovation this year, were diverse and wonderful. You were asked to sing, learn liturgical dance, question what you eat in the face of God, etc. My relationship with Christ is the same as when I left Montreal. I think that maybe my faith has gotten just a bit stronger and I am happy to have noticed that. I have questioned my faith several times in my life but I am proud to say that it remains strong. I know that Christ will be there for all of those who listen and trust in him. Christ is everywhere. Whether we follow his teachings or not we will not be judged, but we should always be mindful of the things he has done for us. The previous CLAY gathering I went to was in 2012 in Saskatoon. The one this year gave me a different perspective as I was not a youth member but a youth leader. It was nice to have a different agenda, and to notice how motivated the youth were. I would most certainly love to attend the next CLAY gathering in 2016 in Prince Edward Island. Thank you for your support. Antoinette is one of our crucifers and a Young Ambassador for the diocese. She is at Concordia University this year, studying religion in the arts and science program with a minor in human relations.
