St. Francis of Assisi Day celebrated
by Angie Burns-Burrell
PICTOU UNITED CHURCH - Greeters this week were Cheryle and Peter Kelly. Steward was David Steele. Lay leaders were Charlotte Musick and Peter Fraser.
Pictou United celebrated St. Francis of Assisi Day with the congregation bringing pictures of their pets and favourite stuffed animals to be blessed.
The Gathering Prayer was attributed to St. Francis of Assisi followed by the hymn, All Things Bright and Beautiful.
The Litany of Praise for All Creation followed.
During the Moment for All, Rev. Moriarity shared the story of Wrinkles, her favourite stuffed toy and she showed everyone a picture of her cat, Emma.
Rev. Moriarity spoke to us of how St. Francis of Assisi wants us to look after
the animals and all creation.
Reflections: “One Person’s Story-All of Our Question” talked about who has not asked “Why?” at some point in their lives.
Ministry of Music offered by the choir was “Shine on Us".
Join us Saturday Oct. 17 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. for the harvest Roast Beef Supper.
