This group will be helping co-ordinate a "Spirit Jam" at the More Franchises conference of the United Church in June, 2010. Leave your suggestions here concerning what instrument you play; when a good time(s) to get together during the conference might be; what music we might play; if you have any music you would like to share with the participants; and any logistical concerns.

For many years the churches I attended have held Christmas services on Christmas Eve - children's pageants, candlelight services, etc. - but not on Christmas Day.
In my childhood there was a service on Christmas Day, and not on Christmas Eve. Now I think only my local Anglican and Catholic churches hold Christmas Day services nearby, which I may choose to attend (again) this year.
Do you have experience with Christmas Day services?

Hey Folks,
So...we are buying little hand-spritzer bottles for in the pews.
We thought we would put a label on them, and I am tasked with coming up with something.
The usage is for people to use them prior to passing the peace, if they do wish to pass the peace. We also are going to do education in the bulletins regarding other ways to share your welcome both before & during church, ie traditional namaste.
So, you creative folks..
You have 4 lines to share a message to folks....what would you put?

I wish we had a separate "church life" section -- but anyway:
I know we've tried this before and it hasn't always flown - but, hey - try, try again!
Every Tuesday a group at St. Andrew's Haney meet together to explore scripture - specifically the focus scripture for the coming Sunday. As the primary worship leader, I've found it really helpful to my preparatory work.
RevJamesMurray suggested the idea of this group in a post, so I decided to create it!
This is the group for clergy, lay people, members of congregations, every day joes and jills, and anyone else, who wants to see the church move away from the droning boring old organs and organ music, to modern, dynamic, relevant, exciting music in worship!
The statistics are clear, churches ARE moving away from the organ. Sales of new organs have been dropping for the last 20 years. So many organs are being removed from old churches that homes can't be found for them. More than 90% of new churches are built without organs.
It is time for the United Church and like churches with more mainstrem theology to move to modern music. We can't let the conservative churches have all the good music!
This is a group for people who hereby dedicate themselves to fostering the move from the organ to the guitar and other instruments, out in the open, or quietly behind the scenes!
