Season after Pentecost

OCTOBER 2023

A Really, Really Short, Really, Really Long Message from Ron:

Stephen Hurley is a gifted educator who creates resources for the United Church of Canada’s Lay Licensed Worship Leader Program. Stephen recently interviewed me as part of a series on music ministry. You can listen to the podcast at: https://www.spreaker.com/user/17264360/music-is-the-frame-with-ron-klusmeier

As part of the same series, Stephen also interviewed Rev. Dr. Michael Brooks of Burlington, Ontario. Here is the link for Michael’s interview which would be of particular interest to those who select and plan music for worship: https://www.spreaker.com/user/17264360/music-and-worship-with-rev-michael-brook

OCTOBER 16 — WORLD FOOD DAY (UN)

Our planet may be called Earth, but its surface is made up mostly of water. Water flows within us and is the driving force that unites all nature.

Water is food, prosperity, energy, life. Yet today, too many people go without it while others take it for granted.

Care for water, cultivate a sustainable future. Water is life, water is food.
