Hi Friends,

It’s here! On Sunday, October 25th, we celebrate Lowville United Church’s 153rd Anniversary! We are reflecting on the faith of our ancestors, as well as our own faith, as we let go of temporal aspects of life and look toward the amazing future that is yet to come. Our lives are interwoven with God through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. We celebrate, we grieve, and we live into the glorious hope that God has in store for us. It’s our story, it’s the story of our ancestors, and it will be the story of future generations. Moving forward, we will also begin to discern the absolute essentials we need to keep as disciples of Jesus.

However, the party comes first! The celebrations are starting early with aCeltic Concert by our very own Major 7th Band on Saturday, October 24th at 3:00 pm. Our Women’s Group and friends will be providing delicious treats, and your free will donations will support the outreach work of our women's group. You are invited to join us for a fun, casual afternoon of popular music.

Thirdly, onTuesday, October 27th at 2:00 pm, we are celebrating the life of Mabel Davey (Millar) at Lowville Church. Mabel’s journey and LUC’s history are entwined in beautiful, musical ways. Mabel was a humble musical genius, a great mother, and a wonderful wife. She gave her “Sunday Best” to Lowville Church on a weekly basis for over forty years, starting at the remarkable age of thirteen. Mabel passed away at the age of 96.

A big shout-out toDave Jolly, who gives his “Sunday Best” to Lowville Church as our resident tech person, producer of the Sunday Order of Service, property support person, and Chair of Church Council. Thank you, Dave, for your generosity and deep love for Lowville Church! We are so blessed by you. We hope you can relax and enjoy the anniversary service. Thank you muchly!

See you at the concert, and see you on Anniversary Sunday!

Rev. Roni
