COVID CARE – Addressing local food insecurity.
In this month of Thanksgiving, the Outreach Committee wants to extend our sincere gratitude to you for contributing to the Covid Care fund. To date we have dispersed $26,280.00 to organizations providing meals or food supplies to those in need.
When we started this program in March 2020, we never expected to see such generosity. Your generosity has been overwhelming and organizations that have been recipients of a donation from LUC, have been most grateful.
As we head into the fall and winter seasons, we want to remind you that the need for food continues to exist in our community and the Covid Care fund will continue to disperse monies to organizations such as Flemingdon Food Bank, Flemingdon Park Ministry, TNO Food Co-operative, Out of the Cold, Toronto Urban Native Ministry, Community Share Food Bank, Canadian Community Services Organization, Kennedy House, Massey House, The 519, Friends of Ruby.
In the words of Anne Frank, let us not forget that; “No one has ever become poor by giving.”
Know that your donation to Covid Care will make a difference in someone’s life!
THANK YOU!
Today’s service includes a Blessing of the Backpacks. You are invited to bring backpacks or bags to the screen for this blessing, or anything that for you symbolizes our students and educators who have just returned to school (even drawing a picture of a backpack or an apple on a piece of paper). If you appreciate the blessing and would like to send it to someone you know, we are also sharing a link to just this part of the service. For those joining on Zoom, we will also share an additional responsive prayer for students and educators.
Today we begin the Season of Creation with the first week of our series “experiencing creation with all of our senses.” We begin with the sense of touch, and hear of Jesus teaching about the importance of being like children.
This morning we begin a musical fall, with a full quartet leading our hymns, sung responses, and anthem. You will notice that there is more recording in our beautifully renovated sanctuary, as we continue to learn about the A/V system and how it can work for us.
Come for our Stories and Makers Nest starting at 9:55am, or any time before our 10:30am service. If you are watching on YouTube, join Zoom at 11am for a time of conversation.
