Church Notes – January, 2015

6/1/2015

 
Church Notes – January, 2015

Something to Ponder:  “The Church could be a powerful force in bringing about the healing of a distraught Earth.  The Church could provide an integrating reinterpretation of our New Story of the universe.  In this manner it could renew religion in its primary expression as celebration, as ecstatic delight in existence.  This, I propose, is the Great Work to which Christianity is called in these times.”  - Thomas Berry. The Christian Future and the Fate of the Earth.

Christmas Dinner at the Legion! Over 120 people attended this community event this year, way up from last year!  And many more meals were taken out to those who could not attend.  This community rocks!  Totally donated food, totally volunteer help! And we all had a great time.  Let’s do it again next year!

Healing Ministry:  We are now accepting bookings for free healing sessions.  Please call Barb Wells at 604-486-7677 to make an appointment.  Healing Pathways is a spiritual  method of  energy healing, similar to Healing Touch.  Treat yourself to a tune-up in this new year!  You will feel totally relaxed and peaceful.

Healing Pathways Practice group:  If you have done at least Phase 1, you are welcome to our practice group at the church, Wednesday 2-4pm , January 14 and 28th.  (Please note time change)

Prayer Group:  Please call Doretta at 604-486-7192 for prayers or information re prayer group.

Muffin Break:   January 31, 10-12am at the church.  Free muffins, tea, coffee and great conversation!  Bring a friend and come for a visit.

Milestones:  Died: Leslie Uher,  Dec. 7,  Wilf Lockstead,  Dec. 13,  Ward Weber,  Dec. 13, June Green,  Dec. 13,  and Maurice Woods on Dec. 15, 2014.  Our community suffered great losses in the last month of 2014.  Our deepest sympathies go out to friends and families of those who have passed on.

                        Born!  To parents Vanessa and Mike Comtois, a son, Gabriel on Dec.3, 2014. Congratulations and all best wishes.
