We rang the church bell 100 times as part of the Bells of Peace initiative to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI.

The United Church of Canada’s 43rd General CouncilThe 43rd General Council of The United Church of Canada ran from July 21 ~ 27th, 2018 at DurhamCollege / University of Ontario Institute of Technology, in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. The theme was “Risking Faith, Daring Hope.”
It kicked of with the Festival of Faith ~ July 21 & 22.
Both Eldad and Hampton United Churches attended the Opening Worship Service on Sunday, July 22. Our own Rev Ned was honoured to be asked to assist with communion, below photo shows Rev Ned (he’s in the grey stripped shirt) heading off to his assigned area.
If you were unable to attend the Opening Worship Service and would like to view it, you can watch it below.
Mother’s Day Geraniums – everyone was invited to bring a geranium plant(s) on Mother’s Day in honour/memory of their Mother/Grandmother. Upon arrival plant stakes and cards where available to write who was being honoured and inserted into the plant. Then you placed your plant in a window or at the front of the church — after May 24th they would be planted in the church flower beds and planters by Barb and Karen.
Spring clean-up day took place inside and outside the church. Notice the front door, the metal railings and flower urns were all given a fresh coat of paint. Sidewalks were weeded and edged. Windows inside and out were cleaned. A new container was placed at the back entrance to hide the recycling and garbage containers earlier in the month. The list goes on and on….
Thanks to everyone who came out and added their elbow grease to the project, many hands make light work!
As you can see by the photos below the end results make the church a place that invites you in.
~ Great fun had by all who attended the recent ~
