Linnea Good is coming to Toronto in May! She will be leading music at the General Council Executive meeting as well as doing fundraising (and fun-raising) concerts in local United Churches. If you would like to do a fundraiser at YOUR congregation, her web site has a practical, easy to follow guide on how to make the evening a success.
Linnea's music is spiritual and fun for all ages, the perfect mother- or grandmother's day gift!
It is so sad to hear of a congregation closing. Even when they amalgamate with another group, there is still a feeling of loss.
There are many congregations struggling with an aging, inaccessible building that has an obsolete sound system and a cranky furnace, along with a lack of free parking etc. etc. Each year the congregation declines in numbers until the inevitable happens.
Tonight my teens made chocolate cake from scratch with a simple recipe that cooks in a mug for three minutes in the microwave. Every youth minister, baby sitter and parent should have this recipe!
