Minister’s Musings
The melting snow is a welcome sight, but it tends to uncover the detritus
of winter along our roadways and walkways like stones and leaves,
discarded coffee cups and food wrappers. As we journey toward the
warmth and light of Easter, what might be uncovered in our own
lives? Are there things that must be picked up? Do we have feelings that
must be discarded or ‘baggage’ that needs to be repacked? Are there
elements of our lives that can be found or recovered? May God, Christ
and Spirit accompany you in this ‘uncovering’ time.

FIFTY WAYS TO SAVE
THE PLANET
Don’t Rinse!
Skip rinsing
dishes before
using your
dishwasher and
save up to 20 gallons of
water each load. Plus,
you're saving time and the
energy used to heat the
additional water.

Kids for Peace Camp

We’re looking forward to a
great week with our
participants and volunteers.

News You Can Use
Please remember that announcements must be received by the office no later than 10am

This Sunday: Please join us for Taizé worship at 9:00am.
Foster Child: It's that time of year again where our continuing support
for Applewood United Church's foster child, Juan-Carlos Gonzalez
Gregorio is needed. Plan International Canada has increased the
sponsorship by $24.00 to $468.00 per year. This time we need 15 people
to come forward to make a one time donation of $30.00. Please see
Leslie West after service in the Narthex on Sunday March 15 to pick
up a package.
Encounters with God: A three-part Lenten study/discussion
group that will explore how three people encountered God,
the nature of the God who met them, and what we can learn
about our encounters with God. We will look at Moses, Elijah
and Jesus and how they encountered God. Sunday, March 15 in the
Parlour at 12 noon for one hour. All are welcome! Participants are
invited to bring their own lunch if they wish. Bob Nicholls

Undie/Sock Sunday, March 15 - April 12:
This Lenten Season sees Outreach and our Sunday
School collecting underwear and socks to help
community agencies replenish their supplies after
our cold winter. All socks and underwear must be
new for agencies to accept and can be for any sex
and size. Have some fun deciding what to
purchase and help our community agencies help those in need. Place
your purchases in the laundry baskets at the back of the sanctuary.
Dedication of our Undies and Socks will take place on Sunday, April
12. Thanks for making a difference! Marg Boutnikoff
Mom’s & Tot’s Playgroup: On Thursday, April 16th, Rev.
Joanne Hedge will do a musical fun program with the
kids. Hope you can come! Just a reminder that we are now
meeting every Monday from 10:00 - 11:30 am as well as our
regular Thursday morning program. Sue Vantol
