Clerk’s Corner
Feb. 10 2023
He spreads snow like a blanket and scatters frost like dust…
Then He gives a command, and the ice melts. (Psalm 147: 16,18)
February seems like the longest month even though it is the shortest month. I was looking for words of encouragement when I came across these verses. They say it all.
Session met for the first time in 2023 on Feb 8. All elders were present and we had a lot on the agenda. Here are some items we need to share with you.
Communion will be celebrated on Sun. Feb 26. This is the first Sunday in Lent.
Good Friday Service (April 7) will be a joint service at Zion United Church. Now that most COVID restrictions are lifted, it is nice to get back to practices that took place prior to the pandemic. Details as to time will follow.
Rev. Steven will be taking a week of holidays from March 14 – 23. We wish him and Tonnie a restful time. He will also be taking a medical leave of absence from April 13 to May 31. We will keep him in our prayers as he undergoes a hip replacement. There is nothing like getting a new minister one piece at a time.
The Annual General Meeting has been planned for Sun. March 5, following the service. A light lunch will be served. This meeting is a great way to look back at what has taken place in our church in the past year, and to make plans going forward. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a meeting where you are asked to volunteer for something you don’t wish to do. Please plan to attend. We hope to see everyone there.
As God has promised, the snow will melt. Until then, let’s see the beauty in it.
