Weekly Update

Dear Members and Friends of Jubilee United Church.
This update comes to you on Saturday, October 17th

As always the link to Sunday’s service is just above this message.  It will run at 1030am and will be available when you want to watch it subsequent to the initial viewing.

A 54 minute service  of Word, Music, Preaching and Prayer.  We will featuring Exodus 33:12-23 (Moses wants to witness God’s glory) and Matthew 22:15-22 (Jesus is confronted about paying tax).   Cyndi Clinton is reading for us, Bri-anne has provided a digital Lockdown Brothers’ reading and Shirley Criscione provides a little video and commentary to begin our service.   I will be preaching and because Bri-anne included her wedding pictures in last week’s sermon, I have included mine in this week’s sermon. 

Sunday’s service is also available as a podcast.  The link is here on the website, look for “Podcast”
The podcast link will also give you access to podcasts from Monday through Friday, in which I read and wonder my way through John’s Gospel. Just audio recordings of the daily video meditations – but without having to look at my face. 

Speaking of faces, I am always keen to get your pictures – nature, faces, masks, life…   Pictures help us to make our Sunday Services personal – it’s always good to share a beautiful moment or see a friendly face in this time of great caution.   

On Sunday, November 8th, we will be recognizing Remembrance Sunday. We will be virtual, but we will have Last Post and two minutes of silence.  I would be very grateful for any pictures or memories that you would like to share with me for Remembrance Sunday.  An email with a story or a memory of someone who served and should be honoured on Remembrance Day.  Maybe it’s you… or a loved one… a relative or a neighbour.    Memories and stories can be written down and emailed, audio recordings of your memories or video would also be very welcome.  Pictures of yourself or loved ones who served their country by taking up arms would be most gratefully received – please include the name of person and rank (if appropriate).  As a reminder, my email is nseli@jubileeunited.ca

The Youth Group are starting a new project:  Errand Saturday.  On the first Saturday of each month, the youth group (assisted by some able drivers) are hoping that they can help you with some small errands.  We want to make things a little more manageable for those who are wise (or required) to stay at home.   We can do a small grocery shopping, do a pick up or delivery of something to a friend, we can take your Foodbank or Clothing Donations and make sure that they get where they are needed. Our first Saturday, will be November 7th.  You can let us know how we can help by contacting the Church Office (416-447-6846; admin@jubileeunited.ca) or me (nseli@jubileeunited.ca) and we will confirm a time for Saturday, November 7th.   

AND finally, in lieu of a Limerick, I share the good news that the Scouts have turned Apple Day into a month long virtual event.    You can make a donation (with tax receipt) to support our 8th Don Mills Scouts in this difficult time, through Canada Helps.   www.scoutapples.com/8thdonmills/
I know that they will appreciate your support. 

See you tomorrow at Worship!
In Faith and Hope
Rev. Norm Seli  (on behalf of the Jubilee Team)
