Douglas Porter

Douglas Porter

Douglas Porter, loving husband of Catherine Porter, passed away in his sleep on April 14 th at the age 82 and now rests in the arms of Jesus. Doug was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer in December 2024.


Doug was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK and emigrated to Canada in 1969. He was a born and bred Methodist and trained as a Methodist lay preacher. He met Catherine at a United Church and we enjoyed 46 years of marriage together.


Doug enjoyed a long career as a graphic designer and his most well-known work is the Canuck’s classic “Flying Skate” logo which he designed in the late 70s. Doug also designed the current St. Peter’s logo featuring the Comox Glacier. Apart from that his key contribution to St. Peter’s was to allow Catherine to spend so much time volunteering there!


After retiring Doug took up watercolour painting. He loved mowing lawns and chose our current house for its vast lawn.

Donations for Food Shelf

Donations for Food Shelf

Right now we'd particularly appreciate donations of canned food items, such as vegetables or fruit. 

We are also in need of rice, peanut butter and jam, cookies or crackers and snack food.

Thank you to everyone who's been stopping by with food!

Flowers for the Sanctuary

Flowers for the Sanctuary

A small group has been created to provide flowers for the sanctuary every week, starting on Easter Sunday. We would be delighted to have a couple more people join us in this flower ministry. Please speak to Yvonne Oldaker or Linda Hughes if you're interested. 
 
Donations to help cover the cost of Easter flowers will be gratefully received.
 
Donations may also be made to cover the cost of flowers on future Sundays for an important personal celebration or in memory of a loved one. A sign up book will be placed in the entrance to the church, to indicate which Sunday you'd like to pay for flowers and in whose memory they are given.
 
Please place the money in the offertory plate in an envelope with your name and indicate it is for flowers. This will be added to your year-end tax receipt.  If you would prefer to provide your own flowers please speak to a member of the flower group.

TEARS

Harbingers of joy 
And  sometimes sadness too.
Welling from deep within
Like drops of morning dew.
I’ve tasted both from time to time
And yet I’ll never know,
Why tears of joy
Are so short lived.
While those of sadness
Flow……………
