Let love be genuine! Show hospitality, rejoice and grieve with others, and share generously as part of your call to live in a Christin community.
Remembering Book: There is a book, kept in Fellowship Hall, that
you can write a note in remembering someone from now or long ago. The donation

UCW Kraft Day: Join us for a day of “Junk Journalling” on Thursday September 24th from 9-3:30 pm. Junk Journalling is the latest trend in paper crafts. “Junk” here refers to those bits of life that you would normally throw away. Receipts, tickets, wrappers, tea bags, magazine cut outs, old calendar pages, packaging, dried flowers, scrap paper etc. Anything and everything! Think of it as a visual diary or scrapbook of your life. Some people theme their pages, others compile things from one day and others build their pages slowly over weeks. The choice is yours.
So come to Christ United Church, Lyn for a fun filled day of playing with journals. Journals will be supplied if you don’t already have one. The Dollar Store and thrift shops have basic journals perfect for this project if you with to buy your own. There will be lots of fillers for your journal available but if you wish to collect your own items that is fine- bring them along.
The charge for the day is $10. The maximum is 12 people so sign up soon. So, ladies pack a lunch and come join us for a day of play with paper. Any questions please contact Brenda Cartwright at 613-345-1478 of Liz Healy at 613-345-5747.
