![]() Much like Christmas 2020 due to Covid it was one of pickups and drop offs. ![]() It started with cleaning in preparation for the special event - year of the Ox - then the celebration itself. Please watch for it.Ĭhinese new Year is a special celebration in my family. Would you please let us know what you think - you can talk with me or any member of Council. Is it time for us to follow in their footsteps and take the leap of faith and move?Ĭouncil really does want to hear from you and to have your input. At some point, they realized a need to move on to a building that better suited their needs. Long ago, the founders of our church built what was then known as the Methodist Chapel and is now the Aylmer Heritage building on rue Golf. If you want to stay in the current building, some ideas on how to fund the repairs and maintenance would be appreciated. The funds from a sale could provide us with money to pay a minister, to have the internet and to enable us to do outreach projects. Sometimes I wonder whether we should sell the building - because there are many major issues - and rent or buy or build new. If you have any issues with our building, please let Earl New know or send a message to Ellen. Our Building and Assets Management committee has been asked to come up with a 5-year plan for tackling issues. If either lets us down during very cold weather, we could be facing flooding (again!).ĭid you know that snow comes through our side doors and that the breeze blows through the windows in the parlor? Oh, and then there is the roof and west side of the manse that need repairs - which we have postponed for yet another year due to lack of funds. We need people to help us work through a cost-effective way to have internet/Wi-fi in the church building, to help us figure out how to keep our phone number, but not have a $60+ a month phone bill, and to work on many more issues like our ancient boiler and old (about 22-years-old) water heater. If you would like to "share the load" by joining a committee or taking on lending your experience or expertise, it would be greatly appreciated. Each member of Council has taken on a number of issues. ![]() As many of you no doubt know, I was elected Chair at our February Annual General Meeting. Last evening (Tuesday), I was blessed again with the support of the members of Church Council. I do hope that you, too, have family, friends and neighbours who help you who are there for you. It shows what the pooling of resources and having many hands sharing the load can accomplish. Shortly after, I was joined by three of my neighbours with their snow blowers and working together before long our driveway and the neighbours which abuts it were cleared out. Yesterday (Tuesday), I went out to start working on clearing snow. ![]()
