Disjunction

 I'm actually hardly a warrior cleric.  I am neither a soldier nor a Churchman.  I have recently returned to Christianity after a time away and am heading towards ordination with the UCC.  My soldiering is limited to so far standing on the bow of a warship with a loaded rifle waiting for the order to return fire against the Iranians.  Thankfully the Iranians never fired...  So neither did I.

Programming and Support -- when congregation has evenings/weekends free

Posted on: 10/23/2009 13:53

First, is the situation in our community

a)  many, many people work straight days, children /teens go to school straight days. We, at least the folks we appeal to, tend to have both parents working outside of the home.

b) programming or pastoral care for working parents or church meetings are primarily on evenings, and weekends.

c) programming for seniors is primarily in the daytime, as are emergent issues, ie hospitals/ funerals, and the  city / council type connections.

Helping Others: Young People Reach Out

Posted on: 02/17/2009 10:55

While some adults may think youth are only interested in the latest fashions or downloads for their iPods, many young people across the United Church of Canada are reaching out to serve others and learn more about life.

Each March break, a few youth from Port Elgin United Church do some hands-on learning. In the past three years, this Ontario group has helped build homes for El Salvador’s homeless, cleaned up around a St. Thomas, Ontario, home for young mothers, and learned the realities of people struggling with addictions in Hamilton’s inner city.

Service to others!

Posted on: 11/21/2008 07:18

Last night I watched a female finacial wizard on Larry King Life telling us that the near future is not going to be a peace of cake. The worst part about it is, she said, that society  on the whole is living in denial.

Although not a finacial wizard of any kind I tend to agree with her. Roaming further afield I came across the following message by one "Longdream". AFAIMC, this goes for all inhabitants of North America, whether Mexican, American or Canadian. Let us take heart and look after our neighbours.

 

Peace.
