Happy Father’s Day to all the men who are fathers or father figures.

This Sunday we welcome back Carol O’Neil.  We continue to celebrate Anabaptism at Five Hundred with Carol’s message “Our Call”.

Murray will be leading the Adult Discussion Class as we talk about chapter 5 in our book “Radical Gratitude”.

THE MEN ARE INVITED
TO JOIN US

On Tuesday, June 17th at 10:30 am (weather permitting), we will meet at Allan Gardens at 160 Gerrard St. East.
An email will go out on June 16th to confirm the place and time.

Let’s coordinate some ride sharing for this event.

 

Church Council invites everyone to
a congregational meeting on
Sunday June 22.

Bring a bag lunch; the meeting will begin after a quick lunch break.
We will keep the Zoom session open so everyone can participate in the meeting.
(“Everyone” means “everyone who is worshipping with us”).

The topic:

As Mike had announced verbally on June 1, we want to ask our denomination (MC Canada and MCEC (Eastern Canada)) to state more clearly that there are congregations that fully include 2SLGBTQ+ people.

The “In This Together” organization had suggested that all MC Canada churches send their views to MC Canada and their regional MC organizations.

The cover letter provides a lot of background information.

In the meeting, we will review the “In This Together” response letter. The goal is to approve it, perhaps with changes, and send it in time for the MC Canada Gathering event in early July.
