Sunday October 30th

We continue our series on experiencing God through our senses. We are blessed with so many varieties of food and, in particular, varieties of bread. How many can you think of? This Sunday we give thought to how we can taste God - in a crispy apple, in a fresh baked loaf of bread, in a meal we share with others.

 Taste and see that God is good!

The meeting will start at 11:15 am, immediately following the 10:00 in-person service at the church. The meeting will also be on Zoom as we want to give our online community an opportunity to participate. 

The purpose of the meeting is to review and get congregational approval for Norval United's Community of Faith document, including our Living Faith Story, as well as a Position Ddscription in preparation to call a new minister. This is a requirement from the Horseshoe Falls Regional Council.  We anticipate having the documents ready by the end of this coming week. To receive a copy of the document or to get the Zoom link for the meeting, please email Jenny.

We are working on assembling a team of people who can help with various maintenance tasks around the church, both inside and out. It is a big building and we would love to have lots of people as part of the team that keeps it running smoothly.

1 Timothy 2:1

Due to a technical issue we don't have all the prayer requests from last Sunday. We apologize for that but here are some that were mentioned.

We pray for Sharon Rule as she experiences the first birthday without her twin sister Cheryl after 70 years together.

Cindy Phillips is praying for peace, patience and wisdom to handle the challenges life gives her. (This is a prayer for ALL of us!)

We pray for Dawn Marsellus in hospital as they attempt to diagnose her health issues.

We're praying for Tom Tyhurst as he recovers from hip surgery.

We pray for Fred Paul as he continues his treatments for his cancer.

And we pray for all the other situations mentioned in worship last Sunday as well as all the people and situations we each are remembering.
