Message from our minister Rev. Catherine Tovell (Please see other message from Rev. Cathy on the News and Events Page)
This morning at our worship service, we as a congregation made the unanimous decision to suspend worship services and all programming at the church for the next two weeks.
1) We will not meet for worship on March 22 and March 29. We expect to resume worship services on April 5, 2020, unless advised otherwise by the Public Health Authorities. In the meantime there will be something offered on line. (We are still planning stages of what that will be.)
2) The Lenten study group titled “Retro Spirituality:” What’s Old is New Again, will be postponed to a later time.
3) The Wednesday March 18 Potluck Supper and Games Night is postponed to a later date.
4) Pastoral Care will be offered by telephone and/or email/text message.
5) For The Ukulele Choir – Jan Earnshaw will let you know early in the weeks what the plans are for practices.
During this time I encourage you to continue to feed your spirit, by reading, praying, taking a walk in a favourite place, practicing mindfulness, or some meditation, journaling, writing poetry , really anything that helps you to encounter a sense of awe or wonder. It is in those moments that we experience the Divine.
Let’s keep in touch, keep well and live each day as God’s people, faithful disciples of the One whose journey we follow so closely in this time of Lent.
In closing I want to share Lily’s motto that she shared with us this morning at worship. “Don’t be scared, be prepared.” So we see again the truth and wisdom of God who said: “A child shall lead them.”
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Cathy
