Reign of Christ Sunday
by Angie Burns-Burrell
PICTOU UNITED CHURCH - This week the congregation celebrated Reign of Christ Sunday. Greeting was Donna Weaver and Niki Venoit.
Second Cup Sunday was hosted by Brian Burris and Nancy and David Steele. Steward was Ian MacDonald.
M&S Enthusiast was Margaret Anne Dodson.
Lay Leaders were Emily Cyr and Arthur MacDonald.
Older hymns were sung this Sunday – Great is Thy Faithfulness, Jesus Came a Child Like Me and What a Friend We Have in Jesus.
During a Moment for All, Rev. Moriarity spoke to the Sunday School about what they thought of when they heard the word “King” and how Jesus was a different kind of King. One that ruled not with power but with Love. As we head into Advent we are asked to think about a different kind of King and that caring and kindness can change the world.
The Choir offered a stirring and emotional “I’m Goin’ Up Yonder”. Rev. Moriarity commented that we have no ordinary Sundays when we have a Choir that can sing like ours.
Last year our CAN-struction Christmas Tree made such a difference with over 880 cans being donated to our Food Bank. This year Pictou United is inviting everyone to ‘BOX IT UP” as we make Christmas sleigh out of boxes of food.
