Mtg POSTPONED!

THIS MEETING HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO ENSURE A BETTER TURNOUT

A great thing has happened – the Sunday School is so large that we are running out of space!! 🙂

Your Input Is Needed!

  • WHAT: Vote by secret ballot on if to proceed with the proposal to build on a new $100,000 addition.
  • WHEN: TO BE ANNOUNCED
  • WHERE: Central Queens United Church, Hunter River

So… what is being done about this? Well co-superintendents Jennifer Carver and Bernie Dykerman have handed off this “problem” to the committee of Cecil Frizzell and Elizabeth Orr (recently joined by Brad Trivers), and a proposal has been prepared!

Essentially the proposal is to add on 4 rooms behind the North wall of the church (i.e. behind the stage):

  • a large classroom that will also serve as a choir room and provide access to the back of the stage
  • two smaller classrooms
  • a washroom

The cost is estimated to be $100,000. The project would start in winter/spring of 2013 for completion by fall 2013.

In order to gain approval to proceed about half of the cost- $50,000 – would have to be pledged in extra donations over the next three years. This means that enough people have to commit to giving extra money to this project as a lump sum or in regular donations (monthly, quarterly, yearly) to raise $50,000 by 2016.

Please come to the meeting or provide your input by email (brad@sunriseweb.ca, phone (940-2044), etc.

Thank you!

Upper Room – June 24, 2012 @ 9:00am – Charlottetown

Due to the unfortunate arrival of a snow storm on the morning of our last Upper Room visit, many people were unable to visit the Upper Room this winter.  Bernie pulled a few strings, made a few phone calls and we have great news!

A Song of Faith Good Friday Service

The parlor was filled with all sorts of greenery, flowers and Easter symbols following the stripping of the sanctuary on Good Friday.  We exited the bare sanctuary in silence and were transported to a jungle in the parlor.  The Easter excitement was building!

Thank you to the Sunday school students who made the Good Friday service so meaningful.  The readings were clear, the songs were sung beautifully and the meaning of Good Friday slowly emerged as the decorations were removed from the sanctuary and we were left with the cross.

Thank you to all who shared Good Friday with us and raised your voices with ours as we remembered the story of Jesus’ death.

Always we remember, they buried Jesus’ body on Good Friday but Jesus is the light, the life and the dance never ending.

Good Friday Service – April 6, 2012 @ 6:00pm – CQUC

As a Sunday School, we have been hard at work planning and preparing for the Good Friday Service that will be held on April 6, 2010 at 6:00pm in the sanctuary at Central Queens United Church.

We hope many people plan to spend the evening with us in worship as we remember this special time in the Church year.  A time of sadness but of great importance.  A week that began with great Jubilee and ended with great sorrow and despair.  Jesus Christ lived for us and Jesus Christ died for us.  We remember Jesus life and death as we await Easter morning…
