Ash Wednesday: Live Stream Service
Tomorrow morning, join Moderator Richard Bott and the General Council staff for "A Litany of the Masks for Ash Wednesday". This livestream from the General Council chapel service will offer a time for prayer, scripture, and help us prepare for our Lenten spiritual practice.
We invite you to attend with a short piece of string or yarn (20 cm), or some Lego, or a string with seven beads, or a ribbon and seven buttons...and some glue! And please bring your mask. (You don't need to wear it, but please bring it.)
When: Wednesday, February 17 at 9:00 a.m. EST / 6:00 a.m. PST on The United Church of Canada YouTube channel
Note: There will be parts of this chapel time in English and in French, however, there will not be simultaneous translation for this gathering. The service will be recorded for later viewing.

Stories of Our Faith: Aria's Story
 We all know what it’s like to need a fresh start. But not all of us have support systems and opportunities in place to help us get the new beginning we need. Aria was in the third year of getting a law degree when she discovered she was pregnant. With limited financial resources and no close family to lean on, she had to take a break from school and go to work. Thankfully, the Massey Centre (an organization supported by your gifts to Mission & Service) was there to support her; read the full story. [Photo credit: The United Church of Canada]
