First United Church recently established a “Townsite Cemetery Committee” to
oversee the upkeep of the United Church section of this cemetery. The committee
is asking members of the congregation who have loved ones buried in this
cemetery to consider making a donation (lump sum, annual, monthly, weekly, etc.)
to the cemetery fund to help offset the costs incurred with this upkeep.
If anyone know of relatives of those buried at Townsite who currently live
away (out or city, province, or country) it would be appreciated if you could
contact them to see if they might like to contribute to this fund.
All contributions can be made by contacting the church office by telephone at
(709) 634-5301 or by email at ucadmin@nl.rogers.com. If you wish, we can arrange
for a monthly or weekly payment to be deducted automatically from your bank
account through P.A.R. (pre-authorized remittance) or credit card payment is
also acceptable. All contributions are very much appreciated.
Please be advised that effective June 12, 2009, the old CO OP
parking lot off Park Street will be closed to public parking due to the start of
construction of City Hall. Business staff and customers in the area should be
advised to make other parking arrangements. The City of Corner Brook regrets any
inconvenience this may cause.

Bible Study
by
Janet Mews
We sit within our circle
A meeting of the Spirit
To join and ponder God’s word
We’re proud to read and hear it.
We seek for understanding
We learn, discuss and share
Our lives and minds are opened
With the words that are printed here.
Our hearts are in communion
Connected through His Grace
Because there are two or more of us
Gathered in this place.
We lift our hopes for others
For those less fortunate
In this Holy Advent season
We pray, and give, and wait.
For the day that shines forever
Like the star bright as the morn
To celebrate together
That “God-with-us” was born.

Greetings to the UC
congregation from Haiti,
Thank you very much to
the church choir who travelled to Springdale to help with the fundraiser
so the mission could once again have a vehicle. Thank you, too, to
everyone who donated towards the purchase. Every time I drive the truck
I spend time thanking God. Every time I walk out the door and see it, I
thank God. Sometimes I actually walk out to look to be sure it is still
there - a reality, not a dream. What a difference it has made for me, and
the functioning of the mission, already.
God bless each and
every one of you as you have helped bless many through the purchase of
the truck for the HATS-Haiti mission.
HATS motto
"Orphans today, leaders tomorrow"
"IT IS ALL ABOUT THE CHILDREN"
"Remember one person's life being
changed is more important than all the material things the world has to
offer."
