Church Picnic August 11!
We will be holding our worship service outside this coming Sunday at 10:30 am, followed by a barbeque picnic. We will supply the burgers, hot dogs and drinks, and we invite you to bring a salad, chips, or a dessert. A lawn chair would also be good! Come and join us, and bring a friend!
Whew! We're Legal Again!
At our congregational meeting on May 26 we were indeed able to gather more than 25 people for a quorum. So we were able to adopt a budget, elect council members, and pass the first reading of an amendment to our constitution to change our quorum from 25 to 13. We will need 25 people again in February to complete this change. We know that many of the people there May 26 are planning to move to other churches soon. How will we get enough people in February? Only one way. Recruit about 12 new members before then. Invite, invite, invite. Let's start being a church that we are excited to invite our friends and neighbours to!
What's in a Name?
At the first meeting of the Building Management Board on Feb. 17, we tossed around ideas for a new name for the building at 600 Minto Street. The one that we like the best was "West End Spiritual Centre". What do you think? Can you imagine this sign on the front of the building soon?
MESSY CHURCHSOMETHING NEW FOR FAMILIES!
About once a month we have an event for families of all ages called Messy Church. We enjoy crafts of various sorts, have a brief time of worship, and have a meal together. This is an opportunity for everyone who likes to have fun, but especially families, to join together to learn more about God. It's lots of fun! If you are interested, please contact Pastor Nancy. We have been scheduling this on Saturdays at 4:30, but would like to be responsive to people's actual schedules. Let's talk about possible times! |
