Announcements for Sunday, December 3rd, 2017
Welcome to our
church and to our service today.
St Paul’s UCW invites members of St Paul’s and also Franklin
and Howick to attend
their Christmas dinner, Wednesday December 13th at noon in the hall
in Ormstown. The cost is $15. If you would like to attend, please contact
Jean McClintock (829-2190) or Jean Niles (829-2652) by this Wednesday, December
6th. We will also be
collecting cash donations for Auberge Madeleine in Montreal, and also gifts and
personal items for the women’s shelter in Huntingdon.
Next Sunday
will be the deadline for applying for the Howden-Templeton
bursaries. Forms are available in the
church or on the congregation’s website: www.howickunitedchurch.ca. Bursaries will be presented at the Christmas
Eve service.
Next Sunday will be White Gift Sunday in all of our congregations. We will be collecting non-perishable food
items as well as angel gifts in Franklin and Ormstown. These gifts should be wrapped and labelled
for the age and gender it is intended for.
Angel labels are in both of these churches.
The Madrigal choir
will be holding its Christmas concerts
on Friday December 8th at 8pm in St Luke’s Anglican Church in
Hemmingford and Saturday, December 9th at 8pm in St Malachi’s Church
in Ormstown. The cost of tickets is $15
and donations to the local food bank in either kind or cash will be
collected.
Quebec Presbytery (Montreal region) is currently looking for someone with a
computer background who could be trained to run our video-conferencing meetings
over the internet. Meetings take place
on Saturday (approximately 4-6 meetings per year) and equipment needs to be set
up the day or evening before. It offers
a great experience in a field of technology that is constantly expanding. A small honorarium is offered. If you, a member of your family, or a friend
you know worked in the field of computers and might be able to help us, please
contact Paul Stansfield by email at paul.stansfield(at)videotron.ca.
Church books for the Memorial Fund will be closing December
15th should anyone wish to make a contribution before year end. Please send
or give to Grace Brown. Thank you.
The Canadian Foodgrains Bank and Mission and Service Fund thanks you for your support in 2017.
