New to the Library: God: The Bestseller
What an awesome title for the newest book in the library. It is an awesome story. God: the bestseller is the story of Eugene Exman, a man who published the works of the controversial preacher Harry Emerson Fosdick, the Catholic radical Dorothy Day, the Civil Rights pioneer Howard Thurman, and two Nobel laureates: Albert Schweitzer and Martin Luther King. He also published the Alcoholic Anonymous classic known as The Bible. Ahead of his time in leading hungry readers through books on a spiritual exploration, he was a man who from a young age questioned and explored his own limits of spiritual understanding. Check it out in the library, which sits now at the back wall of Fellowship Hall. The library looks good there. Plenty of light and visible space to explore some of the best selections of church history, prayerful guides and stimulating historians.
Annesley Choir
To all people who love to sing and share their joy of praising God, I invite you, no matter what age you are or skill level, to join with the choir each Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. It is a time of preparation for the upcoming services. The atmosphere is relaxed, educational and fun. Please contact me, Brenda Dimoff, if interested to find out more about choir. You can call me at 519-794-0874 or email at dimoff@gbtel.ca I look forward to new faces and voices.

Brenda & Peter Dimoff: CDs available due to popular demand
We have all been enjoying the music of Brenda and Peter Dimoff during the Sunday services. Many people have asked where they can get a copy of their CD, so Brenda and Peter have graciously responded by producing copies of the CD, as a fund raiser for Annesley! For a donation of $20 or more to Annesley, you receive a copy of this wonderful CD. They will be available each Sunday, or at the office during the week.
