  • Ministry Personnel Pub Nights by Mike Perreault Some of Us Have Been Talking About Experimenting with a Regular Gathering of Ottawa Area Ministry Personnel
    1 Ministry Personnel Pub Nights by Mike Perreault Some of us have been talking about experimenting with a regular gathering of Ottawa area ministry personnel. The second Tuesday of each month (Ottawa's former Presbytery night) seemed like a natural fit. We thought a more-or-less central location close to the 417 with ample parking would work to start. We came up with Liam Maguire's on St. Laurent near Innes. I contacted them and made a reservation for 12 (seemed like a good number!) for Tuesday, August 13th at 7:30 PM. I can commit to being there for the first meet-up and hope to see some of you there. Visit the gallery of EOORC churches now on the website.

  • The W.U.C. Uniter Woodroffe United Church 613-722-9250 Woodroffeunited.Org Lent 2016
    The W.U.C. Uniter Woodroffe United Church 613-722-9250 woodroffeunited.org Lent 2016 Minister’s Message Submitted by Rev. Kathryn Peate A study found (and yes, they do studies on everything nowadays) that people rarely laugh alone, but are six times as likely to laugh in the presence of another, and thirty times more likely to laugh when in a group. You can get a chuckle from jokes and video clips on the internet but not usually the powerful rib-tickling, knee-slapping, fall-over laughter you get when it bounces off others. Those who are parents know that often children can provide a great deal of laughter – if you are willing to look at each situation from a joy-filled perspective. For instance, I am the oldest of three children. My father married late in life (for that time) and was almost forty when I born. He spent the first two years of my life saying to anyone who would listen, “I can’t wait till she’s walking and talking.” Since then he keeps telling me he can’t wait till I sit down and be quiet. J God is a God of joy. I believe Jesus laughed a lot when He was on this earth. He must have – after all, He enjoyed spending time with children. Jesus also spent a lot of time with His disciples, who in their squabbling and misunderstandings, often must have seemed very childish at moments. What we want as Christians, is to experience joy – but not just joy for ourselves, but contagious joy.
