Church Notes –  July, 2013

Something to Ponder: “A revolution is underway because people are realizing we can meet our needs without destroying our world.”  -Joanna Macy, eco-philosopher, systems theorist, scholar of Buddhism and long-time activist for peace, justice, and ecology.

Sandcastle Sunrise Service at Shelter Point Park!  We will worship together at 7:30am near the washrooms.  Depending on the weather, we may seek shelter under the canopy of the concession.  Please bring your own chair, warm clothing (can be chilly!), and a friend.  Plan on Pancake Breakfast afterwards.

 

Kids for Saving Earth:  Now accepting registrations for this summer’s free eco-day-camp for kids 6-12 years old. Lots of new programming, new faces, lots of fun!  Space is limited, so please book early.  Karen at 604-413-0994, or Linda at 604-483-1471.

 

Healing Ministry:  Using the curriculum of the United Church’s “Healing Pathways”, we are initiating a healing program at the church. For more information or to participate, please call Karen at 604-413-0994. (Healing Pathways is very similar to Healing Touch)

We are now accepting bookings for free healing sessions.  Please call Barb Wells at 604-486-7677 to make an appointment.

Muffin Break:  Saturday, July 27 – 10am to noon at the church.  Coffee, tea, muffins and good conversation.  Come and meet the neighbours!  All welcome.

Milestones:  Died:  Ronald de Grandpre, June 15, 2013.  Our condolences to family and friends.

Minister’s Office Hours:  the minister will be available from 2-4pm on Thursdays at the church.
