Musings

The Tuesday meeting was much more efficient than normal. We are trying to have all the reports written and emailed to the Board a week before the meeting.  This way we get a chance to read them before hand and come prepared to discuss them.  This is the first time we have tried it and there were several positive comments.

Highlights

The Santa Claus Parade happens on Sunday after church.  Meet at the float which will be in the 1300 block on Alberni by 12:45pm.  There will be pews on the float so if you don’t want to walk you can sit and wave just like Queen Elizabeth.

Friday at 7:00 is the Carol Sing.

Thursday at 7:00 the Tibetan Monks who are building a sand mandala are having a concert with traditional dancing, chanting, masks and those great 7 foot long horns.

The Empty Suitcase needs filling with new items of pyjamas, nightgowns, robes, slippers, socks, underwear, hats, gloves, scarves and toiletries or $$$$$.

The next meeting will be January 5, 2010 at 7:00pm

On the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30PM, the board of St Andrew’s-Wesley United Church meets to review what has been happening for the last month and discuss what will be happening in the future. The meetings are open to all our members but voting is limited to board members – board members are those dedicated individuals who serve on the ministries and committees that keep the church running.
This last Tuesday reports ranged from the expansion of the church school to the Easter services to a course on Yoga. In the midst of all this we meditated upon the story of Martha & Mary – Luke 10:38-42.
