flowers on the Communion Table in memory of a loved one. Please
contact Rita via the Church office.
|
Lighting the Communion Table Candles
We will be continuing to ask for members of the congregation
to light the Communion Table candles each Sunday throughout
the summer. This would be a great way to celebrate a special
occasion such as a birthday or anniversary. Please see the sign-up
sheet on the Volunteer Desk.
|
Hear the Word
Seven members of our congregation have become regular users
of our Sennheiser® system. The dynamic headphone transducers
ensure a natural and transparent sound reproduction. The headset
is extremely easy to use and the frequency response is adjustable
to the listener's hearing. Headphones are available from the
ushers in the Narthex. Why not improve your worship experience
by giving it a try? We request they be returned to the Narthex
at the end of the service. Thanks.
|
Prayer Binder
Please write your prayer requests in the white binder, located
in the narthex (main entrance to the sanctuary.) This is brought
forward with the offering, and prayed for by the officiating
minister that day during the pastoral prayers. You may include
a first name and a brief description of the concern, if you
wish.
|
Partners in Prayer -- Praying for you at all times
The Partners in Prayer group prays for all our Church
family's concerns each month. You are invited to put your
prayer request on the offering plate, email to Gail at
the Church office, to write in the white binder in the
narthex (front entrance), or in confidence to Mary
Prime. Save these dates please: March 4th to March 10th
-- Week of Guided Prayer.
For more info, talk to Mary Prime.

Services are recorded on CDs

on the rack in the Library, additional copies can be ordered
through the Church Office.

one from the shelf, sign the card in the back of the book
and leave the card on the desk. Be sure to look for new books
and featured books each month.

go to the Library & Links page
on the Church website, you will find all of the following
treats: reviews of books in our Kingsway-Lambton Library,
a list of all recent purchases, and an online catalogue that
allows you to search for materials by subject, title or author.
There are also links to postings of articles, interviews and
stories about faith from newspapers, magazines, radio and
TV shows.
This
unique and expanding collection is designed to inspire you,
calm you, support you and intrigue you -- lots to make you
think, lots to make you smile! If you're new to the library,
a great place to start is with the List
of Recent Purchases. There are some terrific new novels
and DVD's.
The Library
is open when the Church is open. Or, you can visit Library
& Links on the Church website. We’re always
open for business!
