Embodying the Love of God”
NATIVITIES ON TOUR
It’s Christmas in July! On July 18, Nelson United Church will host an amazing display of over 500 nativity (creche) scenes celebrating the wonder and glory of Jesus’ birth. The gallery will be open for one day only, from 10 am till 4 pm. Some of the sets are so small you could hold three of them in the palm of your hand. Others are larger, one being so large that it will take up space on a 6-foot table. Many of these scenes have been gifts from family and friends. Some have been purchased during world travels, and others have been privately purchased purely as collectibles. A selection of gently used Christmas items will also be available, as well as coffee and Christmas cookies. Admission is by donation. Save the date, then stop in for a visit. We will be happy to see you!
SAVE THE DATE
On Thursday evening, July 23 at 7:00 pm, a special benefit concert will be held in the sanctuary. Our very talented Robert Kwan will be presenting piano selections, along with cellist Danielle Merlis and flautist, Ruth Langevin. Admission is $20 per person, with all proceeds going toward the completion of our electrical upgrades. Tickets available from the church office, on Sunday after church or at the door. This promises to be a wonderful concert. Don’t miss it!
RAISE THE ROOF
A fundraising campaign to collect funds to keep our building safe.
The roof has been replaced; thank you Danco Roofing!
The upgrade of our electrical system is our next necessary project.
Our “Raise the Roof" fund is now at $80,000.
We paid for the new roof. We still need about $20,000 for the electrical upgrade.
Thanks to all who have contributed to this phase of the fund-raising effort.
Please prayerfully consider contributing to our need. The next project will be upgrading the electrical system needed to cover the several renovations done in the last few years.
Our building is an important venue for many concerts and groups in Nelson.
