There was another glitch...
but not in the system this time. For reasons that remain a bit of a mystery, Rob sent out last weeks' "What's up @PCF" with the title What's up @PCF for Lent 3 instead of What's up @PCF for Lent 2. My guess is that I had been working on this week's issue already and that may have caused a bit of confusion. Anyway, apologies all around and I just hope that the recipients of last week's issue didn't think they had slept through a week, not hard to do during the COVID-19 crisis where all days seem the same.
Glitches appear...
to come in threes. Some recipients of last week's "What's up" were unable to access the Lent Garden because the "short hand" (bit.ly) of a very long link did not seem to work (it worked for me). The link to the Lent Garden for the Second Sunday in Lent can be found
HERE.
The following message ...
is a repeat from last week's but it's an important one. You can reach your PCF Executive or General Committee directly now through the email address executive@pinawa.church. Use that address if you want to send kudos for a job well done, suggestions for improvement, or a complaint. Those emails will be forwarded to Bob McCamis, Senior Convenor, and will be treated as confidential if required, or forwarded to the appropriate person or committee.
You can also reach Lori Evenden stewardship@pinawa.church for volunteer opportunities and Karen Ross treasurer@pinawa.church for financial information or to arrange donations through pre-authorized remittance or other means.
Rob Murray answers the general church email address pcf@pinawa.church. Rob also answers the church cell phone 204-753-8439 (voice, text or voice mail). When Rob is away someone else may monitor the email and phone. Email addressed to minister@pinawa.church is only viewed by Rob.
While Rob is "away"...
on study leave for the first two weeks of March, Chuck Vandergraaf is taking charge of the "what's up" for two weeks. and will be linking us with online worship at Windsor Park United Church with Patrick Woodbeck, and Bethel Mennonite Church with Kathy McCamis for those two Sundays.
This Sunday...
the congregation is invited to join in worship with the
Windsor Park United Church (WPUC) congregation (on the corner of Autumnwood and Cottonwood in Winnipeg). The
Rev. Patrick Woodbeck will be leading the service. Patrick is the son of
Kathy and the late
Bill Woodbeck and grew up in Pinawa. The service will be a Communion service and will be available at
10:30 AM HERE, but will also be available for viewing later on. You are invited to join in the communion celebration by having a piece of bread and some wine or grape juice available at the appropriate time.
