News for Sundays, August 16 & 23, 2026

This Sunday, Augsut 16, we once again welcome the Rev. Mitch Coggin to our pulpit at Saanich Peninsula Presbyterian Church. Mitch retired last year after long and faithful service as the Interim Minister of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian, Victoria. As is the case with many retired ministers, however, Mitch continues to share his wisdom and knowledge with congregations throughout the Presbytery and we are thrilled that he has agreed to come and share the Word with us again this Sunday.

rev. Irwin Cunningham will be off on vacation for the next week, so this newsletter will do double duty, covering the next two weeks.
