“20 Years and Still…”
by Angie Burns-Burrell
Pictou United Church - As the congregation gathered for worship we remembered the victims of the Halifax Explosion and the 20th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre. Purple ribbons were available and people were invited to wear them in commemoration of the tragic event.
Reflections, “20 Years and Still…” asked us to think about this tragedy and how the statistics of abuse against women are still startling twenty years later.
The choir offered “Song for Peace” as their Ministry of Music.
Another layer was added to the Sleigh that is being made out of boxes of food which will be donated to the food bank.
Hebrew Scripture: Isaiah.
Responsive Scripture, “Song of Zechariah”.
Gospel Lesson Luke, “Prepare the Way”.
Hymns were Hark the Glad Sound, All the Earth is Waiting and It Came upon a Midnight Clear.
Coffee hour followed.
The Sunday School made peace ornaments to be used as a part of next Sunday’s worship.
Greeting the congregation were David and Angie Burrell. Steward was Brian Burris. Lay Leader was Murray McLaren.
