Notes

Christ is risen! Hallelujah…!

  1. Crowds were large for our celebrations of Palm/Passion Sunday and Easter Sunday. There were really good turn-outs for our mid-week Maundy Thursday service, Good Friday morning service at Melrose, and social justice Good Friday walk in the afternoon. God be praised! It was great to see so many of you. I hope for those who traveled that your Easter was joyous.
  2. Many, many thanks to all who volunteered time and talent to bring about our Easter celebrations. Members of the New Vision Common Company debuted to critical acclaim on Easter morning as part of the service. A record number of people accepted Brian’s invitation to join the choir to sing the Hallelujah Chorus. From the palm branches and the contemporary band on Palm Sunday to the concluding “Nothing Can Trouble” at the end of the Easter service, our times together were EPIC.
  3. If you are not already part of New Vision United Church facebook group consider joining it. Members of the group post comments, pictures, news, and perspectives from other places and through this kept the ferment going as we become a new church in the urban core. To find the group, type “New Vision United Church” into the ‘search for people, places and things’ box in facebook.
  4. As many of you know, I share an Easter joke in my Easter sermon each year. Here’s the joke I shared this year. Thanks to Dan Peace for passing it on to me!Ascension Deficit Disorder
    Please send a joke anytime for Easter 2016 (or post it in the New Vision facebook group) ~

See you Sunday!

Rev. Ian
