Notes from our Florence Ballard
Florence has a lot to say this week!
MONEY The church office is taking money for; Memorial Poinsettias, Multi-faith Calendars, White Poppies, and Zatoun oil and spices. There is a mail slot near the front door that you can put an envelope with a cheque. Remember to put all the details that are needed along with the cheque. If you are picking something up remember to wear your mask and ring the doorbell (as the door is locked). If you want to e-tansfer call Joanna at 250-372-3020 to set it up. It is not a bad idea to call before you come!
LIVE NATIVITY As you know KUCs Christmas Eve service will be on line this year. We still want folks to have the experience of “going to church”. So we will be inviting people to come to church through the front door (past an outdoor live nativity) and journey through the worship space into the Hall then exit into the alley (past a different modern version of the nativity). This will happen on December 18-19-20 from 7-8pm on each day.
Would you be willing to help? We need nativity participants and hosts . All COVID protocols will be in place. Please email or call Florence 250-370-3020.
LUMINARIES If you are a crafty type we need your skill. We want to put out some paper bags with (electric candles) on the walk way up to the church. See the photo for an idea of what we are after.
USER GROUPS I reached out to the AA and NA groups with some strict COVID protocols for having meetings again here at the church. I am happy to report that of the 9 meetings that were held here each week 3 are able to return (so far). This is important service to our community and we are happy to be supporting them once again. I was told that the topic of the first meeting was how much gratitude they have for the support that KUC has offered in the past and how much they appreciate the safe space to meet at this difficult time.
RECEPTION We are hoping some of you would be willing to come and do some hours in the reception desk. There are times in the week that we miss having an awesome volunteer to pick up the phone and answer the door. If you can help please call Joanna at 250-372-3020
THRIFT SHOP Things are going very well. We are now open Wed to Fri 11am to 3pm (also the first and third Sat. of the month). Please drop by and see us. You will need to wear a mask to shop. If you are interested in volunteering you would be very welcome. Please call 250-372-3020 if you are interested.
Well there you have it. All my little notes. I hope you are all doing well.
Sending love, Florence
