Roots & Shoots Recap

January 26, 2017

On Sunday January 15th, 2017 sponsored by the Presteign-Woodbine United Church Transition Team, we all gathered after the service for a Potluck Lunch and Heritage Event.  There was lots of food for the over 70 people who attended. It was a special time for us to begin getting to know one another.  We learned about the strengths we bring from our past and discovered how we’ll build a future together.  Thank you to everyone who came and brought delicious food to share and a special thank you to Rev. Rose Ann Vita and the team for organizing this great event.

Field Trip to a Rock Eucharist

January 23, 2017

A very warm welcome was waiting for us at The Church of the Redeemer’s Rock Eucharist. The music was fabulous! Our youth were really surprised to see a real band with electric guitars and drums. The sermon was interesting and the minister wore NO SHOES which was sort of weird but also kind of cool. We liked the way the priest talked about the lyrics during his sermon. Biggest difference noted was the use of real wine out of a silver goblet and that there were kneeling benches (which weren’t used during this service).
