Life & Work – June 22, 2014
For several weeks we have been running a photographic slide show
encouraging us to enter into quiet reflection before the worship service
begins. This has been played during the Prelude to worship before the
choir and ministers enter. What has your experience been of this
experiment? Please offer your feedback to Mary Walker-Smith @
[email protected] or to Rev. Maggie @
[email protected].
Keep in your prayers.............

Are you a budding musician? Are you a music teacher looking to
showcase your students? Are you a
singer wanting to lift your voice in
praise? Our wonderful choir goes on
summer hiatus on June 15th, but last

offer a musical reflection during our
worship services. Let’s do it again this
year! Look for a sign up sheet in the
Narthex or email Rev. Maggie @ [email protected]. Thank
you for helping the ministry of music continue in June, July, and

The South Nepean Muslim Association asked Rev. Maggie if our church hall
might be used for early morning prayers during the month of Ramadan, a time
of fasting, prayer and self-examination. The association hoped that the mosque
being built on Woodroffe Avenue would be available, but this is unlikely. On
April 29th Council approved the request. The period is from June 28 to July
28th. Our hall will be in use from 3:45 a.m. to 4:30 a.m. from June 28 to July
17, then from July 18 to 28th from 2:30 a.m. to 4:30 a.m. To minimize
disruption to our neighbours, the parking lot nearest the railroad tracks will be
used and the patio entrance to the building. To learn more about the
importance of Ramadan in the Islamic faith, you are invited to attend the
“Islam 101” series being held at BUC Wednesdays May 21, 28 and June 4 th.
FACILITIES TOOL FUND
The Facilities Committee is seeking your support to buy
some new tools to have on hand for maintenance chores.
A donation jar will be placed in the Narthex each Sunday
to receive donations of Canadian Tire Money or regular
money to be put towards future purchases.
The Facilities Committee thanks you for your support.
Observer Magazine – Payment Due for 2014

monthly publication, you are encouraged to make a donation
to cover the cost. The 2014 annual cost is $20 – a bargain!!

A Message from the Council Restructuring Task Group:
Some time ago your Church Council proposed that a task
group be formed to examine Council structure and, based on
it's findings, possibly recommend changes. A group was
formed consisting of Diane Filby, Barry Finlay, Melanie
MacDonald and myself as it's chairperson. Information
gathering is a very important first step for us. Most Council
members have already provided their input via a
questionnaire and another questionnaire is being sent to
other United churches in the area. We'd also like to give all
members of the congregation a chance to provide their
thoughts on this subject. You can find a brief
questionnaire on the entrance table in the narthex that we
hope you will take a few minutes to fill out and deposit in the
box provided. If you have any questions about this initiative
please feel free to speak with me or any other member of the
task group. Thank you very much. Ann MacGillivray Email:

Rev. Maggie has been invited to deliver a “Christianity 101” or
“United Church 101” series at the Mosque on Woodroffe when it
is completed. To assist her, she’d like to hear what questions you
would like responses to.
Advance notice: In late January, we are planning a series on
Judaism with rabbis from the Reform, Orthodox,
Reconstructionist, Conservative and Chabad traditions within that
faith. Rev. Maggie hopes to make contact and set some dates for
the period of Wed, Jan 28 to Wed, Feb 25 from 7 – 9 p.m. with
one evening per tradition.
