A Prayer for Today
God, as we rush around in this busy season help us step back and hear the straight words of John the Baptist. Let us clean up our act in how we do business, how we treat others, how we exercise power and how contentedly we live in this challenging economy. Help us make space in our lives to receive you, who lovingly and patiently transform us day after day. For Jesus' sake, Amen.

Lunch and Learn
A Power Point summary of the five year Strategic Action Plan, was presented to the congregation at the first of our Lunch and Learn sessions last Sunday. One of the key strategy points is that of Communication. To that end we are making copies of the slide presentation available to those that were unable to attend the meeting. These copies can be picked up at the office (ascension@powergate.ca 985-7278) or by calling People's Warden, Bob Britton at 905-430-2459; or, in an effort to be more environmentally conscious, we can share an electronic version of the document by simply providing Bob or the office with your email address or simply by
clicking on the image below
to download a copy.
We also value your feedback! ALL questions, comments or suggestions are welcome and can be conveyed to the corporation via Bob.
Please look for details relative to the implementation of the Strategic Plan and the beginning of our exciting Property Development "journey" in the weekly e Mail blasts and Sunday Bulletins.

Some things to Consider, as we Gather to Worship
Hand sanitizers are made available in the Narthex for those who may have a concern and want to take precautions. If an individual feels uncomfortable exchanging the peace, feel free to offer a gentle bow to members of the community. Please keep in mind that Anglican liturgical tradition allows for receiving communion in one kind only. Therefore, it is completely acceptable for an individual to choose not to receive the common cup. Please DO NOT intinct (dip) the bread into the chalice.
