ANNOUNCEMENTS

Sunday February 5 2012

·         The Lord be with you. And also with you.

·         As we gather to worship, may we be blessed by God who forms us in Word, Sacrament, and Community.

·         Our Annual Meeting will be held on the last Sunday of this month, following worship and a light lunch.

o        At this year's annual meeting, we'll also start the process of adding a section to our Constitution, required because we receive money from Bingo:

§         Under Article V Authority, we'll be adding a new section, 4B:

Should the Congregation dissolve, funds in the Lottery Trust Fund or property purchased with lottery proceeds would be distributed by the City of Cambridge and the Licensing Authority to charitable organizations that are eligible to receive lottery proceeds in Ontario.

o        Don't worry: we're not planning on "dissolving"! The Lottery and Gaming Commission of Ontario now requires that this sentence become part of our Constitution.

·         February edition of CrossWords is now available.

o        Those without email will find the newsletter in their mail slots at the back.

o        Extra copies are available on the desk at the back.

·         Start the Welcome to Baptism.

·         Today we'll invite the children to come forward now as we sing our Gathering Song “Our Father By Whose Name All Parenthood is Blessed” #640
