The Hamilton Lutheran Steering and Implementation Team met again this past week on Monday, June 3rd at Faith Lutheran Church. Updates were given from all the working groups and we spent time talking about our timeline for the next year if amalgamation is passed in September. It is exciting to hear that the women’s groups from our four churches have come together to form the “Lutheran Ladies United”. The first event they have planned is to provide activities for children/students on the September 20 PD Day. The event will be held at Faith. The ladies’ group will provide the church space and organize the event; they will bring in help and expertise for the activities that day.
We briefly discussed alternative worship and the different styles that can take. Some events you may want to consider attending to familiarize yourself and learn more include: - Friday June 14 – St. Paul’s Anglican in Burlington - Taizé worship – 7:30 pm - Sunday, June 16 – St. Andrew’s Anglican, Westdale - Jazz Vespers – 4:00 pm - Thursday, June 27 at Grace – 6:00 pm – a Barbecue. Along with food and fellowship you will have the opportunity to discuss in small groups what your spiritual needs are, and how different forms of alternative worship can be a part of that (further info given at end of this Communication) As far as the location for our amalgamated church goes, we are still looking at our three properties as well as others that have come on the market. Don’t forget to submit your suggestions for a name for our new church. We encourage you to participate and use your creativity for the benefit of our new amalgamated church! Deadline for submissions is Sunday, June 23. We invite you to view our amalgamation websites: Oneinchristhamilton.weebly.com is the official site (calendar of joint worship, etc.) Visualisevision.weebly.com is the site for new ideas. Pastor Chun has posted some awesome YouTube videos. They really give us an idea of what the possibilities can be in our future. We have an opportunity to honor traditions and start something new, no matter what location we choose. Wishing all of you a wonderful June!
