Despite of the uncertainty we still find creative ways to survive....Continue reading

Prayer of Gratitude Generous God, for the abundance of your blessings to us, day by day and year by year, we give you our thanks.... For the simple pleasure of life: for garden harvests, coffee conversations, and familiar surroundings, for health and strength to appreciate the wonder of life, for needs met and desires fulfilled, we give you our thanks. For food to nourish body and spirit, for homes which supply shelter, which nurture order and beauty, and offer hospitality, we give you our thanks. With gifts of money which reach farther than we can manage ourselves, with deeds done in service of neighbour and stranger, with family and friends distant and nearby, we worship you, God, with grateful hearts and joyful spirit. Alleluia. Amen. Hymn VU 520 We Plough the Fields Please click this link to go to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccVEjKFkAV4 1. We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land, but it is fed and watered by your almighty hand; you send the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain, the breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain. All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above; we thank you, God, O holy God, for all your love. 2. You only are the maker of all things near and far; you paint the wayside flower, you light the evening star; the winds and waves obey you, by you the birds are fed; much more to us, your children, you give us daily bread. All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above; we thank you, God, O holy God, for all your love. 3. We thank yon then, O Maker, for all things bright and good, the seed-time and the harvest, our life, our health, our food; accept the gifts we offer for all your love imparts, and, what from us you long for, our humble, thankful hearts. All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above; we thank you, God, O holy God, for all your love.

Hymn VU 296 This is God’s Wondrous World Please click this link to go to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98oe0RdZpO4 1. This is God’s wondrous world, and to my listening ears all nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres. This is God’s wondrous world; I rest me in the thought of rocks and trees, of skies and seas, God’s hand the wondrous wrought. 2. This is God’s wondrous world: the birds their carol raise; the morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise. This is God’s wondrous world: God shines in all that’s fair; in the rustling grass or mountain pass, God’s voice speaks everywhere. 3. This is God’s wondrous world: O let me ne’er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. This is God’s wondrous world: why should my heart be sad? Let voices sing, let the heavens ring: God reigns, let earth be glad!

Planning for the 2nd Annual Presents for Parents or your special person. Children come and pick two items to give to their special persons on Christmas. Sponsor...ed by Madeline Armstrong Local Inc and Teulon United Church. Last year we put through 350 children totalling 700 gifts. We rely on some crazy thrift shopping, gift and monetary donations to make this happen. This year we are hoping to be able to meet COVID19 public health measures and do it all again. Seeing the children’s smiles and listening to all their reasons why they choose the gifts they did was so heartwarming. It is a great outreach for our communities. If you have items to donate or regift please message me and I will arrange pickup or drop off. Here are some photos from last year. Note the snow globes were the biggest sellers. See more
