The Video E-Newsletter
of Mount Royal United Church
for Friday March 11th 2022

Welcome to our eighty sixth 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.

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

Hi. How was your week? Did you enjoy a well-deserved rest from shovelling? Wasn't it nice to not have to spend 5 minutes cleaning the snow off your car for a 10-minute drive?

As much as I was happy to not have to shovel, I know we have winter weather ahead. There are encouraging signs of Spring, but we do live in the Maritimes. And, as tiresome as winter weather can feel this time of year, we are so lucky to not be in the Ukraine, cringing and terrified from the sound of gunfire and bombs exploding nearby. Let's continue to remember the Ukrainian people in our prayers each day and remain hopeful that the Russians will stop invading and killing innocent people.

Did you see Moderator Richard Bott's Prayer for Ukraine? You can find it here

Would you like to donate to the Mission and Service fund to help the crisis in Ukraine?
You can do that by sending an e-transfer to Mount Royal United Church and specifying the amount should be sent to the Mission and Service fund in support of the Ukrainian crisis or making it from this site on the United Church of Canada website.

Please join us for worship this week. Rev. Stuart's message is entitled "Not by a Long Shot". As we continue our Lenten Journey, we invite you to remember the Karing Kitchen at St Johns United Church in downtown Moncton, with donations of Minute Rice, corn starch, margarine and cream of celery or chicken soups in large cans for serving lunch at the church.

And finally, please enjoy our little reminder to move your clock ahead by 1 hour early in the morning on Sunday, March 13th.

If you have comments or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Stay safe.
