​Church Notes May 2020

21/4/2020

 
 Church Notes May 2020
Remember… to hope for the best and plan for the worst. In these difficult times, I encourage us all to focus on what is hopeful and uplifting. As we socially, physically distance ourselves from each other, let’s make the effort to stay in touch – by phone or Facebook. We can check with our neighbours to make sure they have what they need. The Food Bank also continues to need our support at this time. A friendly smile or wave, or a “how you doing?” text message, will help us all to get through this challenging time together.

Minister’s Update: I will be retiring at the end of June, as many of you already know. The church is actively seeking a new Minister, and signs are hopeful that once we are able to gather for worship again, there will be someone in place to lead this congregation! New life, new birth, new ideas – fresh energy… It’s all good – I promise!

Focus on Spirit! – check this out! I am creating a new feature on our website – a virtual space where I will post material that will feed you, or poke you, or at least challenge you to pay attention to your spiritual life. I hope this will be a way to connect as a faith community during these difficult times.

Energy Healing Sessions… are suspended due to COVID-19 concerns until further notice.
Shepherd’s Pie Dinner.. is cancelled for now.
Prayer Group: Please call Rikki Kooy, 604-243-8097 for prayers or information re prayer group.

Weekly Services: 10:30 Sundays… ARE SUSPENDED until further notice.
We are complying with Public Health Authorities, and national and regional church direction, to limit our activities at this time. Please gift yourself with a short daily period of spiritual reflection and/or prayer during this time of social distancing, while we protect ourselves and our loved ones from the ravages of this pandemic. Please note that your donations or tithes are more important than ever right now, and can be mailed to “Texada United Church, Box 23, Gillies Bay, BC V0N 1W0.

Minister’s Office Hours: Wednesdays, at the church, 12-2pm. Please call ahead if you need to talk to me – bring your own coffee, and we must physically distance appropriately for this time.
