You’re invited to attend our 

SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER,  MAY 5, 2024
 service on ZOOM at 10:00am
 
Dear Friends,

The pastoral ministry of CCG is visible in many ways. Weekly telephone calls, the provision of comforting meals, prayer, visits - these are some of the ways our fold engage with this vital ministry in our congregation. And there is another beautiful way of demonstrating care in a very tangible way - Prayer Shawls! Warm shawls are lovingly knitted or crocheted and then offered to folk as a symbol of being wrapped in love and prayer. We are so grateful to the folk who participate in this wonderful ministry!

On Sunday 5th May we’ll be blessing some of the newly created prayer shawls during worship. Even though we may not know where they will end up, we know for sure they will be given with blessing and love to the recipients.

Warming, comforting, enfolding and embracing.

May these mantles be a safe haven, 
a sacred place of security and well-being, 
sustaining and embracing, 
in good times and in difficult times. 
May the ones who wear these prayer shawls be cradled in hope,
kept in joy, 
graced with peace and wrapped in love. 

If you’d like to be in touch, or if you’d like to meet me at the church for a conversation, I am available by phone, text, e-mail or even Zoom. Here’s how to reach me: E-mail - rev.suzanna@gmail.com      phone/text - 250-4665993

Blessings always,

Rev. Suzanna Bates
