Virtual Voices - 48th edition Virtual Voices The Video E-Newsletter of Mount Royal United Church for Friday May 7th 2021 Welcome to our forty eighth 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 Service is live streamed from the sanctuary beginning at 10:30 AM and can also be watched later on the church website. The Prelude will begin at 10:15 AM with music and the announcement slides before the service begins
with Rev. Stuart. 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 I was going through a drawer filled with homemade cards the other day. All of them were made by my daughters, now 31 and almost 33. Some were day care creations; others made with the help of their afterschool caregivers or Grandmothers. I wonder what memories flooded back as my Mom or Mother-in Law helped them print their names and colour flowers or cut out hearts from construction paper. My plan was to read them, treasure them one more time and then part with them for good. They ended up back in the drawer for another year. Some year I will be able to throw them away- just not May 2021. There are so many that pull at my heart strings: Christmas and Easter; a few for anniversaries and lots of birthday wishes and Valentines. But the ones I loved rereading the most were the Mother's Day cards. They are all so cute with drawings of animals that I can't quite recognize and little scrawls intended to be words. But all of them, whether written alone or with the help of a caregiver or a Grandmother say "I Love You Mom" or "Thanks for Loving Me". How can I possibly part with them? On Sunday, whether you are a Mother or just remember your own, take a moment to reflect on why we acknowledge Mother's Day. I hope there is a woman, your own Mother or someone else, that made a positive difference in your life and you are blessed to have warm memories. Here's a little Skit Guys video in honour of Mothers. I hope you enjoy it. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or comments. Susan Fowler  |
