Dear Friends, 


Imagine if you will the world, joined together at one table, seeking grace and choosing Christ’s love! It has the power to change the world. This is the vision of World Communion Sunday and it is still relevant today.


The original context for World Communion Sunday was war time (World War II).  Our context is torn apart by wars and divisions. Come to church at Lowville United and discover why world communion Sunday matters now! Let’s join with the world around tables, being nurtured in Christ’s love. 


Jesus sums up the norms for community this way, love God and love your neighbour. He defines a neighbour as the one who shows mercy.  We need more mercy, more love, more kindness, more forgiveness and compassion in the world. We have room for you at our table at Lowville United Church. See you on Sunday October 4th.


This week we give a shout-out to St. Georges Anglican Church that celebrates its 170th Church Anniversary! May God bless their celebration with joy and hope for the future!


Thank you to Doug and Donna for taking care of the little bee issue in the church office window and Dave for his support with the thermostat.


I am getting excited as we look ahead to our Harvest Thanksgiving Sunday, October 11th. Please bring something from your garden (fruit, vegetable or flowers), farmer’s market or Ontario produce from the grocery to add to our table.  We are planning a traditional harvest-thanksgiving service, where we give God thanks for the bounty of good food and joy in creation!


Have a Blessed Weekend!

Rev. Roni
