Timing
can be important in planning Sunday services.
Occasionally a service is, by its nature, longer than usual. News items in the “Life of the Community” are designed to be brief, yet informative
and appropriate. If you have other oral
announcements, please check first with the worship leader before the
service. With thanks from the Worship
Team.
Tax Receipts
All
official tax receiptable donations for 2009 have been mailed out... hopefully
you received yours! If you have any
questions about your receipt or have not received yours by next week, please
call Jane at the office.
Outreach
First
United in Vancouver is in the heart of the downtown east side, ministering to homeless
street people. On-going needs of the
homeless are soaps, shampoos and general items of personal hygiene. This will be our campaign for the next few
weeks. Please bring new items and place them at the front of the sanctuary. Thanks to those who have already given.
Haiti
Relief
The General
Council of United Church of Canada is calling for donations for Haiti. We also work with Action By Churches Together
(ACT), the network of churches and Christian aid agencies that enable a global
response to emergencies. If your
donations are in on time, they will be doubled by the Government of Canada. Mark your donations “Haiti Relief”.
Remember to keep this building free of
fragrances, so that all may worship and fellowship in safety and good
health.
