Virtual Voices

The Video E-Newsletter

of Mount Royal United Church

for Friday March 25th 2022

Welcome to our eighty 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.

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. I finished recording Virtual Voices with Esther and Bill this week and immediately thought of all the things I neglected to include. My apologies. Here are the additional announcements:

Celebrations: Alex Mah and Karen Hudson celebrate birthdays this upcoming week. Best wishes to them both. And someone has a very special celebration just before month's end. We did mention it last week, but it takes place on March 30th. Helen Ellis turns 99 years young. Congratulations Helen on a very special milestone and on a life well lived. Have a wonderful day!

Rev. Stuart's trivia question from last Sunday was "What is the triduum?" If you want to communicate with Rev. Stuart about his trivia question, you can email him at revstuart@mountroyaluc.ca

I like to give you a head's up of the scripture for the upcoming Sunday in case you like to read it in advance and ponder it a bit before worship. This week Penny McIntyre is the reader, and the scripture lesson is from Luke 15: 1-3; 11b-32.

The sermon is entitled "New Beginnings". And the anthem is from last year's Easter Cantata; a beautiful piece called "Speak, Oh Lord".

Finally, something new Rev. Stuart is offering this year is his Lenten daily devotional. It's available live on the website each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 8:30 AM. And the recording will be available shortly thereafter. Why not, give yourself 10 minutes on those mornings for quiet reflection...

I hope to see you in church soon. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have comments, questions, or concerns. Stay well.
