Cast Away!  You knew that right?

That was one among a hundred tricky trivia questions laid out on Saturday night at the January 20th Trivia Night fundraiser.  It was a huge success!  Leaside United Church (LUC) hosted this fun event in support of El Hogar de Amor y Esperanza, a school and home in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. LUC has had a long tradition of supporting El Hogar through the church’s Outreach Program.

Over 90 players on 13 teams matched wits in the trivia contest. In the end, Team ‘Kangaroo’ took first place, answering 85% of the questions correctly! Close behind were the ‘Quizzlers’ and ‘The Condemned’. Some of the trivia topics included: Man’s Best Friend, Tom Hanks movies, Famous Landmarks and Arts and Literature. When the night was over, about $3,000 had been raised for the children of El Hogar.

Thank you for your continued support!
Neal Kelly & Nancy Stewart

The Chancel Choir will
present Théodore Dubois’

Seven Last Words of Christ

on Good Friday
at the 10:30 am service

The seven last words of Christ or seven sayings of
Jesus on the cross are a traditional collection of
short phrases uttered by Jesus at his crucifixion
immediately before he died, and are gathered from
the four Gospels.

This selection by the French
composer was written in 1867 and is quite
romantic in its musical styling. Any singers who
would like to join the choir for this oratorio are
welcome to come to rehearsals on Thursdays from
7:30-8:15 pm starting February 8th, 2018.

Contact Sharon Beckstead for more information.
