Woodroffe United Church ... we are not alone, we live in God's world.
Four of the bulletin covers in the 2016 series have been submitted by members of Woodroffe United and two of those actually feature a photo of our church. Laura Hodson submitted a beautiful winter night time exterior shot of the illuminated stained glass windows with icicles hanging from the roof, and another one of the cross, organ pipes, and nativity scene at the front of the sanctuary for Advent. Peter Morrison submitted a multi-tiered waterfall taken near Percé, Québec, as well as a shot of the Ottawa tulips near Dows Lake for spring. While it is up to each local congregation to decide when it is most appropriate to use each bulletin cover, the national church does suggest dates based on the seasons and the lectionary. Laura’s exterior shot of the church is featured on January 17th’s bulletin, and the Advent one is scheduled for December 4th, 2016. Peter’s waterfall one is slated for January 10th (Baptism of Jesus Sunday), and the tulip one for May 15th (Pentecost). We look forward to seeing the creative work of our members on display for the national church to see. [Editor’s note: proceeds from the sale of the weekly bulletin covers go to support the work of Mission & Service.]
