Annual General Meeting: The congregational meeting will be held on Sunday, February 22, 2026, in Fellowship Hall following worship. Please plan to attend. Please bring sandwiches or treats for lunch as you are able. The 2025 Annual Report will be emailed to you in early February.

At the recent Council meeting a decision was made that the church donate to the Sherril Mitchell Memorial Bandshell to be built in the Memorial Park in Lyn. We will be purchasing a $200 "stone" to be part of the entry to the bandshell. The inscription on the stone will read "Christ United Church, A Village Church With A Heart For The World".
We would also like to make a cash donation from the church to this project. We invite you to consider making a contribution to the church directed to this project. You can make an etransfer or direct a cheque or cash to the church. Your charitable receipt will come from the church on your yearend giving statement. The total received will be given to the project as a donation from Christ United Church. Please consider making a donation by February 15th.
You are of course welcome to make a personal donation to this project. Details can be found on the Township Website. https://www.ektwp.ca/news/posts/media-release-the-sherril-mitchell-memorial-bandshell/
Questions about the Church donation should be directed to Judy Pearson. For more information about the bandshell project please see Rob Smith.

STEWARDSHIP SECONDS
Third Sunday after Epiphany
In order for you to grow closer to God, what do you need to give away?
Remembering Book: There is a book, kept in Fellowship Hall, that
you can write a note in remembering someone from now or long ago. The donation
envelopes are in the pews in the sanctuary and the donation goes to the general fund. If you want to give it in at the office I will write in the book for you and get your donation processed.
Village Pump Café: Open Tuesday mornings from 09:00 to 10:30. Stop by for coffee, tea, sweets and of course conversation. The boutique is open and there are plenty of books
to browse through.
Bee’s Boutique 2026: The cupboards and shelves are sparse from last year’s sales. We gladly appreciate donated items from you, family and friends. Please leave your donations anytime in the Boutique corner. Thank you everyone for supporting the general fund!
The monthly calendar has returned for 2026. In Fellowship Hall choose a February date/s ($2.00 each) and you could win a beautiful gift basket. Proceeds to the church general fund. Thank you everyone.
February Black History Month - The quilt hanging in the hallway represents an Underground Railroad Quilt. The quilt was designed and made by Rev. Wendy and the Bee’sKnees and beautifully hand quilted by Dorothy Ferguson and Phyllis Dunster in 2015. Each block depicts a code or a secret signal to guide slaves to freedom in the African American history era.
Community Outreach: Birthday cards for residents of Sherwood Park Manor and Maple View Lodge. At refreshment time we will be signing birthday cards on behalf of Christ United Church. Cards will be delivered and distributed by staff to residents on their birthday. If you would like to sign a few cards, please see Liz or Brenda.
Secret Pals with St. Lawrence Lodge Residents and Valentine’s Day! If you like, give your Valentine greeting cards to Brenda Cartwright by Monday, February 9 (at church or my home) and they will be dropped off at the lodge front desk to be distributed by staff to residents. Thank you Secret Pals!
