April 2 Announcements



Sunday Worship: Our Regular Sunday Worship is held at 11am both in-person at Sackville United and online via our SUC Facebook Page. Mask-wearing and accommodation for those who wish to remain distanced will continue until otherwise stated. For those not on FB but wishing to watch online, a link to the video of the service will be posted on the church website in the days immediately following the service.


Holy Week Services: Join us for supper and a service of footwashing and remebrance on Maundy Thursday (shared meal 6pm, service 7pm), followed by morning worship on Good Friday at 11am. Then we gather once more to celebrate on Easter morning at 11am.


Open Sky Upcoming Workshop Series: Tuesdays in April from 12-4pm, join Open Sky at 12 Folks Dr for a community food workshop series, including a free lunch. There is no cost for this program, and all are welcome! Contact 506-227-5602 or farmer@openskyco-op.ca to register.


Scripture Readers Needed for Spring Services: Would you be interested in reading on Sunday Morning? You may sign up on the list on the Circles of Service Board or by calling the Church office - we are still looking for scripture readers for Maundy Thursday and Easter Sunday! For convivence sake the season/theme of each Sunday is listed, if possible. On Thursday afternoon the Church Office will communicate with you and provide you with the specific text(s) you will be asked to read, including the possibility of a selection of modern wisdom in the form of a quote from a current text. The Worship and Sanctuary Committee thanks you for sharing in this ministry. A sign-up sheet for scripture readers for Spring/Summer will be up shortly.


Church Office Hours: The office will be open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12-4:30pm In case of any changes to regular office hours due to illness or other circumstances, a notice will be posted on the church FB page and, when possible, on the front doors as well. When public school has been cancelled due to weather, Jennie can be found either working from home (if driving conditions are poor) or with a special guest (Megan) joining her for office hours.


Prayer Bench Group Subscription: We have purchased a group subscription to Rev. Janice MacLean's "Prayer Bench" for the year, including a number of individual email "retreats" and series. If you are interested in receiving these resources please contact the church office.


Seeker's Group Lenten Video Series: The Seekers Group will view videos weekly from a series called Old & New as produced by Church Anew. You can view the first episode by following the link above. Please contact Catherine Gaw for more information - the Seekers Group gathers via Zoom at 9AM each Sunday morning. Thank you to everyone who has shared in this group.



"ProFuture" Lenten Study: Rev. Lloyd writes: "For a Lenten Study this year I will be facilitating an exploration of ProFuture Faith with Michael Dowd. This group will gather on Tuesday evenings at 7PM. Using Zoom we will watch the video together and then share in discussion. If you’d like a sample of the program visit this link." Thank you to everyone who has participated in this series.


Cell Phones Needed for Ensemble Moncton: Are you upgrading to a newer model and have a spare phone sitting in a drawer somewhere? Ensemble Moncton provides cellphones to their clients to connect them to services and the community. The clients work closely with the Wellness Navigator at Ensemble to access services in health, justice and social sectors. Funding is very hard to access for cellphone provision because of the harmful assumptions placed on individuals dealing with addictions and substance use. Drop off phones at ENSEMBLE, 80 Weldon Street, Moncton, daily between 8:30 am and 3:30 pm. Phone (506)859-9616 and ask for Ashley if more information is required. Any cell phones (and chargers!) dropped off at the church office will be brought to Moncton by Jennie or Rev. Lloyd.


Thank you to those who have donated cell phones so far. Ensemble will ensure that all data/information is wiped from phones donated before they are distributed.


Lectio Divina Lenten Series with Rev. Catherine Smith: Join Rev. Catherine on Friday afternoons from 4-5pm beginning February 24th. Many thanks to Rev. Catherine for leading this series at SUC.

Monthly Services at the Drew: We are delighted to once again be able to offer in-person ministry at the Drew Nursing Home. Services will be at 3pm on the first Sunday of the month. Anyone is welcome to attend, so please consider if you are inspired to join us. Coming up next THIS Sunday April 2.

Parents and Tots: Parents and Tots meets Thursday Mornings from 9:30am to 11:00am at St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. There is no charge, and volunteers are present to assist with childcare. Bring your young ones for a time of community, play and fellowship (and a chance to chat with other grownups!). Seniors Fellowship Lunches: This group meets the second Tuesday of each month at noon. Bring your own bag lunch and enjoy fellowship, conversation, and good food together! All seniors welcome - meeting next on Tuesday, April 11!



What's New with Broadview: The United Church magazine has a variety of topical articles on subjects that reflect many of the interests and initiatives of our congregation. Please contact the church office to renew your subscription if you have not already and/or to sign up through our discounted group subscription rate of only $25/year. New subscriptions can be added at anytime of year! This minister wants churches to radically rethink their finances I've lived with mental illness for years: read about my struggle to find housing
