NEWS and NOTICES
Information about Kingsway-Lambton United


Welcome Visitors
You presence is a blessing to us. We hope our church family will be a blessing to you. We welcome you to our service and hope you will take a moment to make yourself known to one of the ushers, greeters, or ministers. If you are interested in becoming a part of the Kingsway-Lambton family, you invited to sign the welcome card in the pew or contact the Church office. Please come again!


We Are One Family

We are one family, united in Christ. Therefore, if you know of a significant birthday, anniversary or event and would like to share this good news with our Church family in celebration, please contact the Church office.


Pastoral Care
Pastoral Care Notes are available in the Narthex. Be sure to take a careful look at the wide selection offered by the Pastoral Care Team. A suggested donation of $1.00 is most appreciated. Thank you.

If you know of anyone, of any age, who is in need of pastoral care, or is in hospital, simply contact the Church office. The ministry of our Church involves everyone, and your willingness to share in this ministry is most appreciated! .


Flowers in Memory of Loved Ones
Rita MacDonald is the Church contact for those wishing to place 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
Sunday Services are recorded on CDs and are available for purchase at a cost of $3.00 or for borrowing during the week from the Library. Recording onto CDs ensures a rich quality of sound and allows those traveling by vehicle to play them 'on the road'. If you do not find a copy of the service you are looking for on the rack in the Library, additional copies can be ordered through the Church Office.


2012 United Church Calendars are available for purchase (weekdays from 9:00 – 4:30) from the Church Office at a cost of $5.00 each.



Coffee Hour

  • Everyone welcome!
  • Fair Trade Coffee is served at Coffee Hour. Fair Trade ensures that coffee farmers receive a fair dollar for the coffee they grow.
  • Limited quantities of Whole bean Fair Trade Coffee are available for purchase during the summer for $12.00/lb. Please contact Antje Cavanagh.
  • All cookies served at Coffee Hour are peanut-free.
  • If you would like to be a sponsor of Coffee Hour, please visit the Coffee Hour table (in the Gym) and speak with Antje Cavanagh. Sponsorship is $20.
  • Additional volunteers are needed for Sunday Coffee Hour. If you can assist, please contact Antje Cavanagh via the Church office.


Your Church Library

There is a wonderful resource available to everyone at the top of the East Stairs. The Library has books that will soothe, nurture, challenge, educate and amuse you. You simply choose 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.

If you 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!

When linens are removed from the cupboards, they are deemed to have been used and must be laundered and returned within two days. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation!

75th Anniversary Project Needs Your Photos
Kingsway-Lambton will be producing a church aural/visual history presentation and a commemorative bound book to celebrate our 75th anniversary.

We need your print or digital photos, newspaper clippings and other documents about church people and events from the very beginning through this year. So, we are hoping you will go through your treasured keepsakes that involve the church and help us with this important initiative.
