Lenten Services at Gale
Available weekly on our YouTube Channel .
Come share and worship with us every Tuesday in Lent.
Lent is a time of preparation and anticipation of the Holy Week and Easter event. We are called to this time of self-examination, prayer, fasting, and introspection as preparation to celebrate Easter. We reflect on what we need to change in our lives in order to live responsibly and lovingly as a member of the created world. I hope you’ll join us as we look more deeply at the observance of Lent over the next 40 days, take a fearless moral inventory of our lives, and look for ways to find more love, peace, and fulfillment.
Join us online for an Ash Wednesday service at 7:00 p.m. February 17th.
(If you would like ashes for your own personal Ash Wednesday service, we have some created from the palm fronds of previous years. Contact Rev. Sinclair if you would like some ashes)
Then on each Tuesday following we will get together again online for our Tuesday Table services.
The worship starts at 7:00 p.m. and lasts about 30 minutes.
You will feel blessed in these special services of communion.
Enrich this holy season in unique and evocative forms as we celebrate communion in an intimate and serene gathering.

Gale Force is back!
In spite of Covid, The Coldest Night of the Year event is back! This fundraiser, spearheaded by Woolwich Community Services (WCS), depends on community support to be successful.
In this regard, our church will once again put a team together to help raise funds for this very worthy cause. It is being called a virtual event due to Covid. So many things will be different than the last two years, however, what is the same is that the funds raised will go to support the wonderful things that WCS does for our community and beyond.
To date, we have 12 committed members on our Gale Force team, all of whom will do the walk and seek pledges from friends, family and our church community. If participating is not your thing, perhaps you can consider offering to sponsor our team, and ultimately supporting our community.
If you are interested in learning more about this event, contact Diane Coulman for details:

Go, Gale Force, Go!
