Hi everyone,
Last week it was announced that the Friday newsletter is undergoing a re-tooling and will be shared on the last Friday of the month. The Sunday email will continue, including the Zoom link and the Prayer list. If there is a time sensitive announcement, it will be included in the Sunday email as well as in the Announcements portion of the Sunday service. Thank you for your feedback and for taking a moment to update your email preferences. If you didn't do so and would like to, you can find the link here:

Change can sometimes feel like a taking away... and while we continue in the midst of COVID, we are well aware of this feeling. The newsletter is changing but it is not disappearing. Sometimes we need to evaluate what we do and why we do it and ask if this is the only way. Technology helps us do so many things more efficiently and we strive to keep pace with it. We would also like to see our website utilized more and become the hub for information-sharing. So while the newsletter will look different, the sentiment with which it is created is the same. We are still in this together, caring and sharing as a community.
I wish you all a lovely weekend and I look forward to being with you on Sunday morning.
Peace,
Joan

UPDATE on EMILY
Thank you all for your continuing love and prayers.
Emily continues to make good progress. She is now out of ICU in the Cardiac Recovery Ward, still needing occasional oxygen and c-pap assistance with breathing and feeding tube, with a possible discharge in the next week or so hoped for.
Love and gratitude for being with us on this journey,
Sharon, Bruce, Sofie and Sandra, Roy & Emily😊
