Church Notes – September, 2011

Church Notes – September, 2011

Something to ponder....My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful, and optimistic. And we’ll change the world. Words from Jack Layton’s “Letter to Canadians” delivered August 22, 2011.

Church Bazaar, Bake Sale, and Estate Sale – September 17 at the Community Hall – lunch by Julinn! Mark your calendar! Great bargains – super food! To book a table call Karen at 604-486-7284.

Thank You! to all those volunteers and organizations that made the 4th Annual Kids for Saving Earth Eco-camp a great experience for our kids this year. We are humbled and inspired by the willingness of the whole community to pitch in, whatever way they can, to help our children connect to the natural world.

Thank You! to all those who came out to Make a Joyful Noise! our annual all-music service. We enjoyed Shirley McCune & the Jessicas, songs by Glen Downing, and a duet by Peggy Atkinson & Maureen Northrop. Musical contributions of Shawn Ansell, Joyce Perrett, & Clarence Wood were also appreciated. We give thanks to those who contributed great food to make a lovely lunch which was enjoyed by all.

Prayer Group: For info or to ask for prayers, please call Doretta Smith at 486-7192

Milestones:
Please notify Karen at 486 7284 re births, deaths, anniversaries, weddings, so I can let everyone know about these important events in the life of the community!

Texada Island United Church is a welcoming, inclusive, community church serving several denominations. If you are new to the island, or just haven’t been to church in a while, please visit us in Van Anda. We would very much like to be your church!
