CARE & SUPPORT TEAM thought for the week!

 

Caring is showing compassion …

at OUC, WE CARE!

 

Care and support. Pastoral care. Being a friend. Journeying with someone. Befriending. Hanging out. Jesus calls us to exercise compassion in all our relationships. It's what we do as Christians and as members of OUC. We are all ex-officio members of the Care and Support Team here. Come over to our CST nook just outside the sanctuary, and have a chat. 

Weekly Prayer Concerns

Some people appreciate having our whole congregation knowing their prayer concerns … if you have a prayer request you would like printed here, contact Jean (orleansunited@rogers.com or 613.837.4321) by Thursday 9am.  Some folks appreciate confidential prayers by our dedicated prayer-chain members … if you wish to keep your prayer request private, place them in the sealed prayer box at the CST nook, or  email them directly to Mary (mmmoore123@rogers.com).

 

Attention Bakers & Helpers. The International Women's Tea will once again be held at Orleans United Church, this year on September 16th. Please note the date and plan to bake squares or help out either on the Wednesday night to make sandwiches or on the day to help everything run as smoothly as it has in years past. There will be sign-up sheets at the back of the hall very soon. Thanks.

 

Fall Term for the Ottawa School of Theology & Spirituality, which offers 10-week courses on religious and spiritual topics, begins in September.  Register on September 20th at 7 pm at All Saints' Anglican Church, 347 Richmond Road, Westboro, or visit www.osts.ca.  For more info, call 613-824-8780 or 613-726-2089.

SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS!

If you would like to consider a really rewarding and fun volunteer opportunity teaching Sunday school, or if you are a returning volunteer teacher, we would love to have you join us for an informal breakfast meeting on Saturday, September 18, in the OUC library, beginning at 9:30 a.m.  Please call the office for more information about the Sunday school curriculum and our Teacher Volunteer Breakfast.

We are in need of teachers for the Tot group (2 – 3 year olds) and for the 5 & 6 year olds.  Speak to Molly if you feel called to this ministry.

And thanks to all the volunteers who taught Sunday School over the summer.

 

GLOUCESTER EMERGENCY FOOD CUPBOARD will be holding their annual Yard Sale on Saturday, September 18 from 8:30 am - 12 noon.  They are looking for donations of household items (no books or clothes please) to be dropped off no earlier than Sept. 10. at the Resource Centre.   All proceeds will go to support the GEFC food distribution program.  Thanks for your continued support.
