As we are continuing physical distancing I would to highlight several positive things that are going on in our community at this time.
Our online worship services are on Zoom every Sunday at 10:00 am. We are lucky to have our full staff available to provide prayers, hymns and reflections every week and are grateful to have readers from the congregation and, notably, David Roger Gagnon, who blesses us with his beautiful voice and talented musical skills.
We would like to acknowledge the many generous donations we have received for the emergency food collection. It has been heartwarming to see how people donated their time and resources in order to help others. We have made several food basket deliveries and the community is extremely grateful. We will continue to accept your offerings for the maintenance of staff and building costs, as well as our regular programs. Thanks again to everyone.
Coming up in May: A FUN and INTERACTIVE Jog Your Mind Workshop. We all know how important it is to keep exercising our brain and keeping it active! A 6-week session online using ZOOM Starting on Tuesday, May 5th from 1pm-2pm. Please let us know if you are interested in joining this great activity that we can do together. It's another great opportunity to stay connected and keep our minds active and sharp! Please email Aileen at: aileenborruel@yahoo.cas
We have been blessed this week with the weather. Although we had a couple of days of rain, the
temperature was nice and way above zero. Wednesday was especially wonderful. The sun shined
in the sky and people were outside in shorts and t-shirts. WOW!!! I don’t know what the temperature was in the West Island but for me in the South shore it was a warm 22 degrees.
My partner and I used this time to go out for a walk in old St-Lambert. We were craving
ice cream or gelato, well, actually, any type of frozen thing we could find. Well, right at the
corner, the gelato store had opened. In the parking lot, on the ground, there were arrows, 2-meters
distance signs, a wait-here sign, and a pay-here sign all drew with chalk, the kind of
chalk children use to draw on sidewalks. It was gorgeous, well done, and colorful.
We ordered at the door and paid with Interact through the window. I took grapefruit flavor and my partner had a lemon one. It was great that we could allow ourselves this little treat while walking and enjoying the day. It allowed us to relax and clear our minds.
I know this time is difficult for all of us so why don’t you treat yourselves a little bit. We all
deserve a little break, we all deserve to catch our breath and we all deserve a little treat. This
week why don’t you try to do something for yourself? What are you craving? What kind of
little treat can you have? Maybe cook your favorite dish? Or enjoy a nice glass of wine. Why
don’t you rent a movie online? Why don’t you play your favorite song while dancing and singing
out loud in your living room? Why don’t you have a nice bath so that you could relax?
There are many ways for you to treat yourselves, be creative, have fun, connect with your inner
self, and relax. You deserve it.
A tremendous thank you again for all the donations for our active ministries. Your continued support allows us to keep in touch with everyone and maintain our precious building.
I wish you all a wonderful weekend and I hope to see you on Sunday!
Blessings to you all!
