The Video E-Newsletter

of Mount Royal United Church

for Friday Dec 11th 2020

Welcome to our twenty seventh edition of the Mount Royal United Church Video E-Newsletter. You will find the video at the bottom of this message.

If you have any news items or information you think we should be including in an upcoming e-newsletter, please send your suggestion to newsletters@mountroyaluc.ca we will do our very best to put it on for you.

A quick reminder that our Sunday services our live streamed from the sanctuary beginning at 10:30am and these can also be watched later on the church website. The Prelude will begin at 10:15 with music and the announcement slides before the service begins with Rev. Stuart.

The weekly bulletin will be available here.

This video will be produced and sent out weekly on Friday morning with all the important things from our faith community. We plan to keep them short so you have time to drink a cup of tea or coffee while you watch.

We hope you have a very good day today.

Best Regards,

Newsletter Committee

Message from the Chair of Council - Susan Fowler

As we begin the third week of Advent and celebrate Joy, have a listen to this week's announcements. Towards the end you will hear an interview Erik Gingles did with his daughter, Sarah, and Hannah Townsend, our two Baker Family Scholarship recipients. Thanks Erik, Sarah and Hannah for giving us a glimpse into what this school semester has been like in the midst of Covid disruptions.

It is the last week to purchase a Memorial Christmas Tree bulb to honour a loved one or someone you appreciate. The Craft Group has a few remaining items for sale and Terry Foreman still has grocery gift cards. Let's finish up those sales in the next week or so, if possible.

On December 19, our Blue Christmas service will be streamed with the prelude at 6:45 and the service at 7:00. I think it will be meaningful for many of us this year as so many things in our lives have been disrupted.

The call is out for anyone interested in serving on Council for 2021. Please give it your consideration. I guarantee you these are interesting times.

Have a great week.

Susan Fowler
