“Fire Power”
Numbers 11:24-30;  Acts 2:1-21 ; John 7:37-39

Manor Road UC, together with the other eight United Church congregations in the North Toronto Cluster, will be joining in a shared service of worship on Sunday, June 18 at 10:30am at Rosedale United (159 Roxborough Drive). The Moderator, the Right Rev. Dr. Carmen Lansdowne, will speak on the theme “Meeting the Moment, Together”, and choristers from all nine churches will join in a mass choir.
 
There will be no service at MRUC on Sunday, June 18.
 
Members of Manor Road are encouraged to attend in person, or to join virtually by live streaming the gathering. The service will also be available later on YouTube. Information with links will follow. Join in the lively music being planned! A picnic on the lawn at Rosedale United will follow the service.

Meals Are Meant to be Shared
- a note from Jennifer Palin

One of my favourite things about Jesus is that he loved to share meals with all kinds of people.  One of my favourite things about church life is sharing meals, too.  Maybe I'm more like Jesus than I thought!    Most churches have kitchens, and space for shared meals, and many of us don't cook nutritious meals for ourselves often enough, so I thought it would be good to think about ways we could cook and share meals together more often at church.  After consulting with the UCW last Tuesday, I decided to make a ginger/cumin curry from scratch in the Manor kitchen on Saturday evening, and have it cooking on Sunday morning as we worship together, so it will be ready to share after worship.  Bonus:  we'll be able to smell the curry cooking as we pray, sing hymns, share peace, and celebrate during worship.  I'm hoping people will enjoy this, and we can talk more about times that might be optimal for cooking and eating together on a regular basis.
