Dear Friends, 

As I prepare for Sunday, I want you to know that You deserve joy! You are not a bad person , you didn’t make poor choices by being present for your grieving parent, or sick loved one or helping a colleague this summer. You weren’t overextending when you stretched yourself a bit to support your spouse. 

This Sunday’s  message affirms that it is okay to feel a little spent at the end of the summer. God loves you, there is no judgment. Jesus wants to fill you up with Joy. Just trust him. Jesus wants to fill up your cup with the fruit of the vine. Did you know that in Jesus’s time, wine was a metaphor for spiritual joy? We won’t be having real wine in church this Sunday, but we will be having communion, (sandwiches) and ice cream sundaes!

Come and worship at Lowville United Church and discover the cup of joy that keeps on giving. Know that you are loved. Stay for lunch and enjoy a Sundae with us, on Welcome Back Sundae! Worship begins at 10:30 am in the sanctuary!

Looking forward to Thanksgiving Sunday (October 11th), we will be having something like a traditional harvest thanksgiving service. Please plan to bring some flowers, vegetables or fruit from your garden, or local farm or farmer’s market. In the least, bring something grown in Ontario or Canada.  A table will be provided for our items and we can swap them out at coffee hour. We will offer a special prayer of thanksgiving during worship.

Blessings,

Rev Roni
