Annual Meeting: The Annual Meeting of Yellowknife United Church will take place on Sunday, June 16. This means that reports are due now! We hope to have the reports in early so that the preparation of the report is not the last thing for Gwyneth to do. Make a good last impression - get your reports in early.
Clean hair or a full belly? It’s a choice most of us don’t have to make. But for many YWCA Yellowknife clients, after she pays the rent and buys food for her family, she has nothing left over for shampoo, toothbrushes, pads, diapers and other toiletries. That’s why YWCA Yellowknife is asking the public to donate new, unopened items during a drive that winds up on May 31. The collection points are Sutherlands Drugs, Weaver and Devore, the Yellowknife Direct Charge Co-op and the YWCA Yellowknife administration office at #104, 4904 -54 Ave.
Looking for Committee Members
- The “work” of the Church does not just happen. It is a direct result of the commitment and caring that the Minister and the Congregation bring to the worship services, the church meetings, and the special events. To support the “work” the Church has six standing committees:Worship is responsible for arranging for all worship services
- Christian Development is responsible for arranging for Sunday School and other Christian education activities
- Outreach is responsible for promoting activities to support societal activities outside our church, both locally and globally
- Community Life and Membership (CLAM) is responsible for welcoming people to our church and coordinating activities that help people feel that they belong
- Stewardship is responsible for the financial health of the church and through the Property and Maintenance Sub-committee the physical property including the manse.
- Ministry and Personnel provide support for the Minister and administrative staff and is the liaison between the staff and the Congregation.
The committees for 2013/14 will be presented at the Annual Congregational Meeting to be held June 16th. Additional help is needed on all committees. We are also seeking a Vice-Chair of the Official Board.
If you would like to help with a Committee or would like more information about a particular committee or position please contact Donna A. or Lloyd H. of the Nominating Committee, or speak with Rev. Peter Chynoweth
Thank you to Gwyneth – Our Office Administrator, Gwyneth, is retiring at the end of May. Please stay after worship today for coffee or tea and goodies to help us say thank you, and to wish her well.
