IN FLANDERS FIELDS
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
- John McCrae
SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS
The Sunday School will be making advent wreaths on Sunday, November 25th after church. If you are planning to come please let Betty Gunn know. There will be a sign up sheet on the downstairs bulletin board.
Also if anyone has any old 4 litre ice cream pails that we may have to use that would be wonderful. We use them to mix the Plaster of Paris and then just throw them out after because they are hard to clean. Thank you!
Pictures & Stories from THE HOLYLAND
On Sunday, November 18th, we will have a pot-luck lunch following worship. Once people have had a chance to eat, Pastor Lynne will be sharing some pictures and stories from the Holy Land. Please set aside this date, and invite some friends to come with you!
URBAN UPDATE
The Urban will be holding it's Christmas store this year, if you have anything used, gently used or new to donate it would be greatly appreciated. Also we are in need of socks and slippers for our people so we can keep the floors clean at our church. Please call before coming to ensure that either Sandy, Leslie or Rhonda is at the church to accept your donations. Number is 204-774-3143 Many thanks, Rhonda Gates
NOVEMBER YOUTH & CAMPUS SERVICE
will take place on Sunday, November 4th, 6:30 p.m. at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Selkirk. The church is located at # 6088 on Highway 9A, just south of the Rolling Mills. The service is being structured to be a bit of a post-Gathering reunion, but of course, it is open to all. So why not wear your MNO Hyperlink t-shirt, if you have one? (*There were a few things that were left behind when the buses returned from Saskatoon - sleeping bags, shirts, water bottles, etc. that will be brought to this service. Whatever is not claimed will be given to the Salvation Army following that service)
