The Northern Quadrant of the Presbytery now has the Outreach portfolio.

One of our undertakings this year is to survey our Presbytery to see what mission endeavors, local and international, that our congregations are involved in and supporting. A few have responded so far and it is good to see that PWS&D materials and Presbyterian sharing materials are being used by our churches. They do have mission Sundays and mission speakers coming in. Some have embarked on mission trips to places like Nicaragua, Mexico, etc. and held events to support various mission projects, both local and international. There are lots of opportunities if we look around for them.
We'll be posting a more detailed list as we get responses from our churches.
If you have ideas for mission or outreach, you can contact me, (convenor) at nanstlouis1@sympatico.ca.

Mission/Ministry update:
Recognizing the need of so many in our communities, one project that has brought blessings in many forms, is a monthly meal, free of charge that sees lonely elderly, singles, those on limited budgets coming together.

100 Mile Meal
Heard of the 100 Mile Meal?
According to http://100milediet.org/: "In 2005, Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon began a one-year experiment in local eating. Their 100-Mile Diet struck a deeper chord than anyone could have predicted, inspiring thousands of individuals, and even whole communities, to change the way they eat. Locally raised and produced food has been called "the new organic" — better tasting, better for the environment, better for local economies, and better for your health. From reviving the family farm to reconnecting with the seasons, the local foods movement is turning good eating into a revolution."
Waterloo Wellington Presbytery's Northern Quadrant hosted a "100 Mile Meal" at Reg and Liz Samis' farm just outside of Drayton on Tuesday, June 21. A delectable choice of local food was served from oddly-named sausages (sounding like a swear word the skinless "Frickendellan" sausages came from Parker), Markdale area potatoes, local lettuces, and homemade rhubarb cakes and crisps, accompanied by Mapleton organic ice cream.
Hospitality abounded on this old barn threshing floor. The Spirit of the Lord, ever-present, made his presence known: just as we began to sing about His sweeping presence the barn door, anchored with a very heavy metal pole, slammed shut.
