The Affirming Congregation Program is an opportunity, a challenge, a hand reaching out. It is for congregations who are ready to begin a dialogue about the concerns of lesbians, bisexual, transgendered and gay men in the United Church and is also about creating an inclusive faith community for all, regardless of age, race, disabilities, language, economic backgrounds, green-and-purple spots, etc.
Please participate in the process of discussions and reflections, in keeping with our Covenant of Harmony.

Join us on Wednesday, April 30 at 7:30, when our guest,
Rev. Phil Joudrey, will lead a discussion on
“The Bible and Homosexuality – Current Theology”.

We will also be holding a “Talking Circle” to share questions, comments, concerns and ideas, on Wednesday May 14 at 7:30.

As you look in your garden, please consider what perennials you could divide to sell at our Perennial Sale, Wednesday, May 21, 6:30–8:30 p.m. No plants? Perhaps you could bring us some old margarine containers or plants pots within the next 2 weeks so our green-thumbed members could use them for the plants they’ll be digging up for the sale.
Other items we’ll sell: pots, gardening tools, books about gardening, baskets, house and garden magazines, vases, etc. Please place such items on the stage as soon as possible. Do you know a wholesaler who would offer us a good price on begonias or impatiens plants for advance orders?

Bursaries are available through the Finance and Extension Board of the Montreal Presbytery for students registered in Canadian Universities and post-secondary institutions who are active members in Congregations in both Montreal Presbytery and Consistoire Laurentian. (Continued)
