"If God is Love, Don't Be a Jerk!"  This is the title of the John Pavlovitz book that the Wednesday Evening Learning Circle will be studying.  A subtext is:  Thou Shalt Not Be Horrible.  Pavlovitz says:
 "I grew up believing that one of the markers of a life that emulated Jesus was a pliable heart capable of being broken at the distress of other human beings:  when they are hungry and hurting, when they are homeless and afraid, when they grieve and feel alone, when they believe they are unloved and forgotten, when tragedy befalls them, and when injustice assails them,  These things are supposed to move the needle within us if Jesus is softening our hearts, or at least I imagined so."
Join us to discover what Pavlovitz challenges us to do if we are followers of Jesus.  

Wednesdays at 7 pm in the Church Library.  Everyone welcome.  Info - Barb Lough

Blue Christmas Worship Service

Sunday, December 17th at 7pm

The expectation is that we will be merry and happy at Christmastime: the celebration of the Messiah's birth, family and friends gathering to feast and visit, fun times shopping for those special presents. But for some of us that isn't the case.  Perhaps we've lost a job, or a loved one, or our health.  Maybe the long years of pandemic have brought despair to our spirits. Perhaps we're suffering from fatigue of the body or the dark night of the soul.  Whatever your case or situation, you are not alone.

As we gather for this Blue Christmas Service, it will include readings and meditation, lighting candles and quiet music.  The service will be led by Barb L and members of the Caring Committee.

Advent III - Candle of Joy Worship Service

White Gift Sunday

Sunday, December 17th at 10:30am

An All-Ages Family Worship Service and the Christmas Pageant told by some surprise visitors!

This is our White Gift Sunday.  The season of Advent is a time of anticipation, waiting and preparing for the coming of baby Jesus. Christmas is a time for giving.

We give by sharing “white” gifts with others.  A white gift is a humble way to reflect on the love and devotion of the giver and not the value of the gift. Instead of focusing on receiving gifts, the focus is bringing gifts to Jesus that can be shared with people who do not have much. All the gifts come wrapped in plain white paper so that no one will know the monetary value of the gift. No one should feel ashamed of their gift, and everyone shares in the joy of giving to others.

 This year our white gifts at Robert McClure United Church will support our Food Pantry. Gift suggestions are toilet paper, gloves, mitts, ladies’ socks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, lotions, shampoo, soap or body wash, other grooming items, kids’ toys, and warm outerwear.

 Remember to wrap your gifts in white.

 The WonderKids will take a special "noisy offering".  As the name suggests, a "noisy offering" is called this because of the loud clang the coins make as they are dropped into a tin pot. The bigger the handful, the bigger the clang.  So bring all your change to make lots of noise as you happily toss it into the tin pots. The louder the better!
