In Our Prayers

Let us continue to remember Margaret, David, Rosalie, Marjorie, George and Wilhelmina in our prayers, for wholeness and relief, as also Mary, Simon, Andrew and Alan and their families at the death of Carl Thompson that God’s peace and comfort would be real. George and Wilhelmina are Rob Zilles’ parents and Wilhelmina is in hospital after a stroke. Let us remember our province and all those involved in health care with the rising number of Covid19 cases.

Music Making at Mount Zion

Music Making continues at at Mount Zion although not in its usual ways. Choir reherasal began again last month and the choir spreads out acrosss the sanctuary. Listening to each other is challenging. After learning together, members record themselves at home or more recently with Amy in our new studio space...the narthex storage closet!

The space may not be beautiful, but when there is a will, coupled with talent and decication, there is a way.
