Meanwhile at the church, we continue to be flexible, modifying plans as required. We have made changes to the pageant planned for Dec 24th but still hope to have several children involved. A decision on whether the Dec 12th carol sing will be held inside or in the sanctuary will be decided closer to or on that date. Please check the church website frequently for updates mountroyaluc.ca. And thank you for sending in your carol requests. Advent 2 is here; the week we acknowledge peace. It is also White Gift Sunday. Your gifts of cash or grocery gift cards or personal hygiene items will make a difference in our community and be donated to Bessborough School and the community friends of St George's Anglican Church. Your generosity is always appreciated. The seasonal carol favourites continue and the scripture lesson for Sunday is Luke 3:1-6. Rev. Stuart's message is entitled "Listening to Learn".
