Special Hymn Service Wednesday August 17th

At the heart of August and our exploration of the many names we bring to try to describe the sacred, we will have this special hymn service. Join us for hymns, familiar & new, full of many names. This will be a service that asks questions, and is full of poetry and beautiful music!

Remember to join us any time after 6:30pm for lemonade, and at 7:00pm for worship.

This week Emily is away on vacation! For pastoral care concerns between August 14th and August 20th, please contact Annie Jannaway, one of our Volunteer Associate Ministers: 647-973-1169 or annie.jannawayis@rogers.com.

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it you?

At our “Be Smart Online” presentation we met Dave and Blake of My Life Online www.mylifeonlineworkshop.com

These great guys taught all of us to ask these three simple questions before we post online …

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it you?  

Our lives are online now and forever.  All employers “Google” potential hires before considering an applicant, make sure your “online resumé” is really who you are!  Topics covered on online safety ranged from #HATERS to “Digital Detox” to charging yourself with positive messages each day just as we charge our mobile devices.

Here’s a challenge for you and your family from Dave and Blake:

Try a 24 hour Digital Detox and earn the title of “24 hour Trooper” or if you are up to it … detox for 7 days and earn the level of “7 Day Samurai”
