PRE-VESTRY MEETING
There will be a ZOOM meeting next Saturday 16th January at 1pm to give all those who are interested a preview and discussion on the 2021 budget. This is because Zoom is a difficult forum for significant discussion to take place and we want to make sure everyone has the chance to ask questions, and give advice before our actual vestry meeting. You can join the Zoom meeting at the link below:

ZOOM COFFEE HOUR
Come to the Dundas Room on Thursday morning at 10.00 a.m. for coffee and a chat … well, not in person, but virtually! Every Thursday morning, you can join a group to discuss whatever comes up - religion, politics, the environment … sometimes we even talk about YOU! (just kidding…only when you are there! If you have ZOOM on your computer/tablet/laptop … it is basically “one-click”. If you are having difficulty installing ZOOM, give Robert Morrow a call for assistance.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK
Bless those who mourn
the death of relative or friend
and feel that with this loss
their lives are incomplete.
Bless those who mourn,
and fill these empty hearts
with pleasant memories,
the sound of laughter,
sunshine and happier days.
Bless those who mourn,
and heal their brokenness
with the soothing balm
of your gentle touch,
that they might know
shalom, wholeness, peace.
